The document discusses making inferences when reading. It provides examples of inferring characters' feelings, motives, and the author's purpose. Readers must combine the written information with their own life experiences to infer deeper meaning. The document contains scenarios where the reader must infer details that are not explicitly stated, such as inferring a man is angry from his shouting or that someone was killed from seeing a bloody knife. It emphasizes that readers should view a text as a "word picture" and infer details about the setting, characters' personalities and emotions, and characters' motives from clues provided.

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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Making inferences (definition, strategies, exercises)
1.
2. This is sometimes called “reading
between the lines”. When you make an
inference, you use all of the information that
you have available at a time to guess what is
“behind” the literal information of a text… In
other words, you go beyond what is stated
explicitly in the text to infer the intended
message by paying attention to certain
“clues”
3. You infer why things happen, why
characters behave the way they do, and how
characters are feeling. You enter the world
created by the author, and you create images
and inferences based on what the author tells
you and your own knowledge and beliefs about
that world.
In order to infer meaning, readers must
combine the information that the author has
written with their own experiences—both
reading experiences and life experiences.
4. If the teacher writes
information on the board
during a lesson…
You infer that it is
important information that
you may need later (so you
will write it in your
copybook).
If your mum tells you to
carry an umbrella…
You infer that it will possibly
rain.
If you see your boss
arguing with an
employer…
You infer it is not the right
moment to ask for a raise.
NOTE: You may not always be correct in your inferences,
but they are assumptions that you make based on the
given clues.
5. You already know how to make everyday
inferences!
Let’s look at a few scenarios and infer about what is
going on.
6. You go home and see your father shouting and a bit violent…
1. Would you ask him for permission to go to a party?
2. Would you ask him for money?
7. You go home and see your father shouting and a bit violent…
1. Would you ask him for permission to go to a party?
2. Would you ask him for money?
If your father acts in
that way, he must be
angry. For that
reason, it is not the
right moment to ask
for money or
permission.

If you see a bloody
knife it is possible
that someone was
killed.

10. Look at the picture…
1.Where are they?
2.Who are they?
3.Why the man wants someone to
invent a faster clock?
11. 1.- For the poster that says
“Patents”, the piles of
documents, the drawer and the
books, we can infer that they
are in an office (Patents Office).

2.- As it is an office, they are
office workers.

3.- As he “wishes someone would
invent a faster clock”, he might
be anxious and desperate to go
home.

home.
12. As you looked at the previous
pictures, you were able to infer things
about the scenarios that they presented.
When you read a text, think of it as a
WORD PICTURE.
13. When reading, there are several types of word
pictures the author will “paint” for you.
• The setting.
• A Character’s Personality or Emotions.
• What a Character’s Motives Might Be.
• What the Writer’s Motives behind writing the piece
might be…
