This document outlines the rules and objectives for a virtual classroom lesson on making connections while reading. It discusses the three types of connections - text to self, text to text, and text to world - and provides examples and activities for students to practice making these connections, including sharing their favorite stories, using a Venn diagram, and writing a thinking paragraph. The lesson teaches students to uncover ideas in texts and relate what they read to their own lives and experiences.
Book Review: Mistakes were made but not by meAnanya Jain
Do words like self-justification and cognitive-dissonance give rise to an awkward yawn within minutes? Have you ever thought about why we justify foolish beliefs, bad decisions and hurtful acts? If the statements mentioned above ring a bell in your head, then I would strongly recommend you to read this excellent piece of psychological truth- Mistakes were made... (but not by me!) by Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson, inspired by the creator of the theory of cognitive dissonance- Leon Festinger.

Proposal for final paper—Week 1
Once you have decided on an approved prompt and approved text, respond to the
questions below. Please be mindful of the word count and double-space all of your
responses. You are to meet the minimum word requirement without going over the
maximum number of words requested.
1. What is your chosen prompt for the literary analysis assignment?
(Use the space below to complete this section. Include the number and first sentence of
the prompt you chose from the list of prompts.)
I chose to write about prompt #2: “In some stories, characters come into conflict with the
culture in which they live.”
2. What interests you most about this prompt and why?
(Use the space below to complete this section. Your response must be 100 to 150 words.)
I think the idea of alienation is common in literature and life, and I think it will be
interesting to explore the concept of alienation in literature to see if and how it relates to
alienation in the real world. Many of society’s problems come, I think, from people
feeling disconnected from their families and their communities. I know I am to focus on
analyzing the literary work, however, so I understand that any personal connections I
make should not appear in the paper itself. I also feel that the topic gives me good
direction but also allows me some freedom to come up with my own ideas.
3. What text will you write about? Why?
(Use the space below to complete this section. Your response must be 100 to 150 words.)
*Note to students: the text used in this sample CANNOT be used for your own papers.
It is not on the list of approved texts and is used here for demonstration purposes only.
I chose to write about Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis as I think the story lends itself
very well to this prompt. Gregor is clearly alienated from his family and from society.
He has no friends or activities outside of his work. The fact that he became a bug
revealed that his family and job already treated him that way. This story really interests
me as I think many in our modern-day society are much the same as Gregor. Gregor’s
transformation showed that he was really just viewed as a “thing” by his family. When he
was of no use to them anymore, he was thrown away.
4. What is your working thesis? Keep in mind that “working thesis” means you can slightly
modify your thesis for the draft and/or final essay.
(Use the space below to complete this section. Your thesis statement must be ONLY one
to two sentences long.)
Gregor Samsa’s physical transformation into a vermin is a physical manifestation of his
already alienated state and demonstrates how his family viewed him as a thing instead of
a son or brother that they loved.
5. What are three key ideas that you will discuss in support of your thesis? (Write one --
and only one -- sentence for each point.
a. Gregor’s room reveals that he had no life outs.

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.

these are connections where you

for my sister that I could sacrifice
everything even my own happiness
just for her to get the best for her life.
This is just like how Elsa treated her
sister in the story.
