Film Worksheet
Art Education 1600
Art and Music since 1945
For this assignment, you are to see a film this semester and fill out your worksheet. Use the skills you learned for the Art Worksheet, but now you have to analyze the combination of sound and moving images.Step 1 Select a Film
Selecting a film to watch is more than picking a movie with favorite actors or a genre you like (science fiction, superheroes, detective mysteries, romance). The film you pick should have enough interesting content to write about. It helps to inform yourself with two kinds of film reviews. First, professional critics have seen many movies and write from a well-informed point of view, but theirs is just one point of view. Beyond the perspective of Professional critic, there are the reviews from moviegoers, like yourselves, who post their responses on blogs and theater websites. Viewer reviews can be just as valid as professional reviews, so long as they explain why they feel the way they do about a film. Both kinds of reviews can help you narrow your choice of a film, and in the end, pick a film you feel like writing about.
11 pts: State the title of the film you chose and a write brief synopsis of the film in your words (90 to 100 words):
Citations and References
If you decide you use ideas from the film reviews or any source, write the name of the source here AND Cite the source(s) where you use them:
REMEMBER
1. You must view the film for this worksheet personally and you must see it in a theater this semester. (Free screenings at the Union also count as a theater). Even if you choose an older film made in 1945 or later, we want you to see the film in a theater. At a theater, you sense the effects of the sound and moving images as they were intended. Films reproduced for television or on DVD on a home system lose the effect you sense in a theater.
2. Connect your review of the film with the cultural and social ideas we address in class. How do you think audiences relate the narrative on screen with other narratives in the press or entertainment media? Superheroes, for example, save the day when complicated agencies of government and military fail.
3. Look over the Film Worksheet before you attend the film, so you know what to look for in the film. Taking notes during the film is usually a problem, but you can make your notes afterward. You might be surprised at how much you will recall about the film and your experience of viewing it.
Late Paper Policy:
You will lose points for assignments turned in late after the final deadline.
1 day late: 20%
2 days late: -40%
3 days late: -60%
4 days late: -80%Step 2 Organize your data
This step is about your experience of viewing the film and how the director kept you engaged.
Step2.1: The audience and the space, and you
Your experience as a moviegoer is as important as the film itself.
State where you saw the film.

Film Worksheet
Art Education 1600 Art and Music since 1945
For this assignment, you are to see a film this semesterand fill out your worksheet. In a nutshell, your job is to use the skills you learned for the Art Worksheet, but now you will have to consider combinations of sound and moving images, which will complicate the task in a different way.
Step 1 Select a Film
Dear students:
I hope this assignment is interesting for you. You will choose the film you write about from a list of films we provide. Selecting a film to watch may seem as simple as picking a movie with favorite actors or a genre you like (science fiction, super heroes, detective mysteries, romance). Selecting a movie, however, with enough interesting content to write about is another matter. In addition to having a plot, as most movies do, there have to be other complexities involved. Because you cannot always know this when you buy your ticket, it will help to read reviews beforehand. Two kinds of reviews can be helpful. First, professional critics, who have seen many movies, write from a well-informed point of view, but you should remember that theirs is just one point of view. Many critics address mainstream audiences or small niche audiences with a particular interest. Other critics may specialize in one film genre or the other. Whatever the case, they can tell you a lot about the plot and depth of a film, but there is more to consider.
Beyond the perspective of Professional critic, with their one point of view, are other voices from moviegoers, like yourselves, who have seen films you are interested in and they often post their responses on blogs and theater websites. These reviews are not from professionals, but can be just as valid, so long as they tell why they feel the way they do about one movie or another. Both kinds of critics can be helpful as you narrow your choice of a film to write about. In the end, you still have to pick a film on the list you feel like writing about. Think of this task as a challenge to yourself.
Clayton Funk
10 pts: State the title of the film you chose:
Citations and References
If you decide you use ideas from the film reviews you read, whether from a professional critic or anyone else, write the name of the source here, so it will be easy to put in your reference list (bibliography).
Rules from the Syllabus
1. The film you select must be one that you view personally. You must see a film that is in theaters this semester and you must see it in a theater. Even if you choose an older film made in 1945 or later, we want you to see the film in a theater. At a theater, you see and feel the effects of the sound and moving images that are crucial to every film. When shown on television or even played from a DVD on a cutting edge five-channel system, the experience is not the same as going to a theatre. In addition to your responses to the film, we want you to tell about your ritual of attending a film. Do you go alone, with friends, on a da ...

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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.

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.
