Ticking Mind’s new edition of 'Macbeth' takes a revolutionary approach to presenting this staple of High School English classrooms. Unlike conventional 'Macbeth' textbooks which only support students to understand that ‘gist’ of a scene or the whole play, Ticking Mind’s textbook breaks each scene into digestible 30 line chunks which scaffold students to actively understand the language and imagery at work in Shakespeare’s play. In addition to this, the textbook provides explicit instruction to students on how to annotate text, and on the counter side of each page of Shakespeare’s text, features short thinking activities which can create the framework for powerful class discussions about each part of each scene. To teach students to ultimately write about this text, Ticking Mind’s textbook does not include boring comprehension questions at the end of each scene, but scaffolded analytic writing procedures which improve students vocabulary, sentence structure skills and capacity to analyse the text. Important illustrations of themes and images in the text of the play are also signposted with icons that students can easily use to search for evidence when they are writing an essay on the text – a procedure which is explicitly taught at the end of the textbook.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
