The document discusses the concept of "going below the surface" or inferring, which means figuring things out that are not directly stated by looking for clues and context cues provided by the author. It provides examples that require inferring events from the past, characters' thoughts and feelings, settings of stories based on details and context clues. The examples span situations like inferring what happened in class based on a new rule, understanding the context and situation of a wild west story based on descriptions, and determining what grade bullies are in based on their taunts and context.

The most haunted place in the world
The Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is considered the most haunted location in the world. It first opened in 1829 as the first prison in America that utilized solitary confinement, with prisoners isolated in individual cells. The prison was abandoned in 1913 and fell into disrepair. Reports of paranormal activity began in the 1970s. Visitors today frequently report sensory experiences such as shadows, figures, and disembodied voices that seem to reflect the anguish of those who were incarcerated and died there.
The dice script
1) A man named Nathan is playing with dice in a classroom when a mysterious man named Callum appears at the door.
2) Callum demands that Nathan return his dice. Nathan pleads to keep it but reluctantly hands it over.
3) Callum takes the dice and leaves. Nathan then reveals that he tricked Callum and still has the dice he was originally playing with.
Pitch
The document outlines a pitch for an opening title sequence (OTS) for a home invasion slasher film. It describes the plot, which involves a family leaving their son home alone for the weekend while the son encounters an intruder in the house. It notes the setting will be in the victim's home. It identifies the target audience as 15-35 year old males and discusses elements like blood and gore that will attract this audience. Inspiration is drawn from the film Scream for its gore and violence. The OTS will be linear in style to draw the audience in and create suspense about what happens next.
Pitch
The film Nyx tells the story of a young girl home alone who hears strange noises and sees a black figure after her bedroom door is kicked in. She believes she is going insane until the kitchen door opens on its own and she is attacked. After her death, she returns as a possessed girl who kills people by preying on their insecurities. The filmmakers plan to use hand-held camera work, zooms, match cuts, and other cinematic techniques but acknowledge it will have a low budget without major special effects or gore.

The storyboard follows the characters as they interact both within their own schools and meet up in rivalry between the two schools. Their interactions set up the dynamics that will drive the plot of the soap opera between the two rival institutions.

From Bullet to Blue Sky
1 The sun was in the process of its morning stretch. While the residents of gated communities came alive to be greeted by the tropical heat of south Florida, the stragglers of the universe awoke to the sounds of a 9 mm dispersing its gun powder to the blue sky. The ghetto houses that sheltered these citizens were painted different colors; some exposed faded paint, and others told stories in graffiti, inspired by gang artists marking their territories. Roll bars protected the windows covered with filthy bed sheets that not even dogs would lie on. 231232Broken toy pieces scattered over the dead grass in the yard outside. The lanky, dark-haired girl lay in her bed twisting and turning, trying to catch a cool wave from the ceiling fan that spun and thumped overhead all night. She always heard the same dogs barking; her ears still rang from the sound of that gun. She still felt the warm, thin blood that stained her hands. She still felt a sharp, pounding pain along her left side; for every breath she took, the pain reminded her she was human. She had witnessed many shootings before; she had seen more blood in her days. Why was this shooting any different? It was because for the first time she was the victim. I understood her pain, for I was that girl.
2 It all started with Mr. Tangye in the fall of 2004. He was an inspiring math teacher, who convinced me that I had more to offer this world than I had thought. As the bell rang at Conniston Middle School, we marched like zombies to our classes. I passed through dark hallways of vandalized lockers with torn papers and ripped books scattered over the ground like a dump. I made my way past the miserable teachers and devilish students. The administrators surrounded the hallways like a S.W.A.T. team, commanding everyone to go to class, I walked into Mr. Tangye’s math class; he had a bright, white smile that hurt my eyes every time I looked at him. Before I could make it to my seat, Mr. Tangye handed me a paper that itched my fingers; it was a math test. I stared at that test, and I begged my brain to wake up! The other kids shuffled the paper back and forth on top of their desks or used it as a pillow on which to lay their heads. I secretly tried my best at every problem and flippantly turned it in.
3 As the bell rang, I dashed for the exit. I swiftly dropped off my homework, but Mr. Tangye caught me and pulled me aside to show me my test. He said, “You are the only one who has passed the test.” Then as Mr. Tangye showed my grade to me, he said, “You are on the borderline of failing or passing this class, I’d like to see you pass!” I listened to every word he said because I was tired of being perceived as an idiot.
4 As I finished out the rest of that day, all I could think about was whether to study or not to study. I hated being stuck between a world that offered happiness and stability, whose proverb was “anything is possible” and a world that followed the theory of Charles Da ...

It describes circling the Kaaba, walking between Safa and Marwah, drinking from the Zamzam well, spending time in prayer at Arafat, throwing stones in Mina, and shaving one's head at the end as a symbol of rebirth. The Hajj is considered the fifth pillar of Islam and the greatest pilgrimage, called the Al Hajjul Akbar.
The Five Pillars of Islam
The Five Pillars of Islam are the five obligatory religious duties that are required of adherents to the Islamic faith. The pillars are: faith, prayer, charity, fasting during Ramadan, and pilgrimage to Mecca once in a lifetime if able. Together the pillars outline important daily religious practices and provide guiding principles for Muslims.
Geography of the Middle East
The document provides information about the Arabian Peninsula, the birthplace of Islam. It is located in the northern hemisphere and western hemisphere. The peninsula experiences extreme temperatures and is home to many deserts, including the Nafud, Syrian, and Empty Quarter deserts. Transportation is primarily by camel and horse. Wildlife includes gazelle, lizards, oryx, cats, and hyenas. Vegetation is adapted to the dry, salty conditions and includes date palms and saltbush. Cultural adaptations include clothing, tents that are easy to assemble and disassemble, and religious customs.
Why Do We Have To Take Social Studies?
Social studies is required by law and tradition in schools. Studying history helps students understand the present and be inspired, as learning about explorers like Ernest Shackleton shows that history can be an interesting subject that students can enjoy learning as part of a group.
Finding the Main Idea
The document provides tips for identifying the main idea of a paragraph. It states that nonfiction writers usually include one main idea per paragraph in the topic sentence, which typically comes at the beginning. It can also occasionally be at the end. When the main idea is not clear from the topic sentence, it can be identified by counting the number of sentences dedicated to each topic and selecting the one discussed most as the main idea.
Predicting
The document discusses making predictions when reading texts. It explains that making predictions helps with understanding and remembering what is read. It notes that people naturally build "schemas" or patterns in their minds about how different types of stories are structured. As an example, it prompts the reader to predict what a story about a school dress code may discuss. Finally, it reminds readers to confirm their predictions after reading to assess whether they were right or wrong. The summary is contained in 3 sentences as requested.
Summarizing
A 73-year-old Kenyan farmer was attacked by a leopard while working in his fields. The leopard knocked the farmer to the ground and bit his wrist, mauling him with its claws. Somehow finding the strength, the farmer reached into the leopard's mouth and tore out its tongue, killing it. A neighbor then arrived and finished off the leopard with a machete, saving the farmer.
Practice: Going Below the Surface
Turner heard a weather forecast predicting rain so he grabbed his umbrella to take to the bus stop even though it was sunny. The wife tells her husband she doesn't want an expensive gift for her birthday but will buy herself a small present at the mall using her old car, implying she wants a new car. Jessica chose Kurt in the game since he was the last player left, implying she was pleased to have him on her team.
Fixing Broken Comprehension
The document discusses strategies for understanding difficult words encountered while reading. It identifies three methods writers use: 1) including the definition in the same sentence, 2) providing the definition in the next sentence, and 3) using context clues. It then provides examples of sentences using an made-up word, "ABBA-ZABBA", and asks the reader to identify what item is being referred to in each example based on the context or nearby definition.
Visualizing Practice
The document describes Tom building a fence around his rectangular pool. It states that there are four posts along the width and eight posts along the length of the pool. Therefore, the total number of posts Tom needs is four plus eight, which is twelve.
Reading Strategies: Visualizing
The document discusses the importance of visualization when reading. It provides common phrases related to visualization like "let me draw you a map" and "a picture is worth a thousand words." Clear writing can help the reader visualize what they are reading as if seeing a movie in their head, a map in front of them, or a photograph in their mind. It then provides a math word problem asking how many cubes it would take to build an eleven step staircase if six cubes were used to build a three step staircase.
Text-To-Self Connections
The document describes several short passages from news articles and stories followed by text-to-self reflection prompts. A student shares that a food fight in their school cafeteria last year caused chaos similar to an article about 7 students being arrested. Another student discusses noisy neighbors similar to an article about a couple using a rooster sound system to disturb theirs. A third student reflects on not enjoying PE class like a character struggling with a forward roll.
GRAPES: The Big Ideas of Social Studies
The document outlines the key concepts covered in a social studies PowerPoint presentation called G.R.A.P.E.S. It examines how geography, religion, achievements, political systems, economics, and social structure shape civilizations. For each concept, it provides an example of how it influenced an ancient civilization such as how the Nile River shaped Egypt or the Ten Commandments influenced Hebrew society.
Silent Reading: Why and How
The document discusses silent reading and provides tips for choosing books to read silently. It explains that people learn most new words from talking and reading. Students who read more pages per day are more likely to score higher on reading tests. Some students dislike silent reading because books are too hard or boring. The solution is to find books at an appropriate reading level to build reading skills. The document also provides examples of summarizing books based on reading their back covers in a standard format.
Writing the Hamburger Paragraph
The document provides instructions for writing a "hamburger paragraph" structure that includes a topic sentence, 3 details sentences, and a concluding sentence that restates the topic sentence. It explains that the topic sentence is the "top bun" and the concluding sentence is the "bottom bun." Between these are 3 "patty" sentences providing information and 1 "cheese" sentence adding further detail for each patty. Examples are given for writing 3-patty and 4-patty hamburger paragraphs on various topics. The reader is then assigned to write a 3-patty hamburger paragraph on how geography affected life in Japan.

L'indice de performance des ports à conteneurs de l'année 2023
Une évaluation comparable de la performance basée sur le temps d'escale des navires
L'objectif de l'ICPP est d'identifier les domaines d'amélioration qui peuvent en fin de compte bénéficier à toutes les parties concernées, des compagnies maritimes aux gouvernements nationaux en passant par les consommateurs. Il est conçu pour servir de point de référence aux principaux acteurs de l'économie mondiale, notamment les autorités et les opérateurs portuaires, les gouvernements nationaux, les organisations supranationales, les agences de développement, les divers intérêts maritimes et d'autres acteurs publics et privés du commerce, de la logistique et des services de la chaîne d'approvisionnement.
Le développement de l'ICPP repose sur le temps total passé par les porte-conteneurs dans les ports, de la manière expliquée dans les sections suivantes du rapport, et comme dans les itérations précédentes de l'ICPP. Cette quatrième itération utilise des données pour l'année civile complète 2023. Elle poursuit le changement introduit l'année dernière en n'incluant que les ports qui ont eu un minimum de 24 escales valides au cours de la période de 12 mois de l'étude. Le nombre de ports inclus dans l'ICPP 2023 est de 405.
Comme dans les éditions précédentes de l'ICPP, la production du classement fait appel à deux approches méthodologiques différentes : une approche administrative, ou technique, une méthodologie pragmatique reflétant les connaissances et le jugement des experts ; et une approche statistique, utilisant l'analyse factorielle (AF), ou plus précisément la factorisation matricielle. L'utilisation de ces deux approches vise à garantir que le classement des performances des ports à conteneurs reflète le plus fidèlement possible les performances réelles des ports, tout en étant statistiquement robuste.

Going Below the Surface
- 1. Going below the surface Look beyond the words. Why are things happening? What could it mean?
- 2. Going below the surface is when we figure things out even when it's not directly explained to us. Sometimes it is called inferring . We can infer about events that happened in the past , characters' thoughts and feelings , and even the setting of a story .
- 3. Going below the surface is like being a detective. You have to search for clues that the author leaves for you.
- 4. Going below the surface: “ New class rule, people: from now on, students are now allowed to use my coffee cup as a toilet!” Although she didn't come right out and say it, what happened in class yesterday?
- 5. Going below the surface: What's going on here? What's wrong?
- 6. Going below the surface: As I rode up to the saloon I heard shouting inside—then the crash of chairs and tables being broken. And as I climbed off my horse and threw a rope around the hitching rail, I heard gunshots. It was then that I knew I was going to have to earn my marshal's pay that day. What kind of story is this? Where and when does it take place?
- 7. Going below the surface: “ First grade babies! Second grade cats! Third grade angels! Fourth grade...RRRRRATS!” It was the first recess of the first day of school. A mob of third-graders had me and Joey Peterson backed up against the monkey bars. They were giving us the old chant. When they came to the word “rats,” they screamed it in our faces. Then they ran off laughing. “ I wish I was still in third grade,” I said. What grade are these losers in?
- 8. fin
