The group researched thriller movies to inspire ideas for their film's plot and characters. They decided on the title "Mutual Findings" to hint at revelations for more than one character. The protagonist Eve is a 15-year-old middle class female student, making her seem vulnerable. Her teacher Mr. Devlin is the potential antagonist, his position of trust making his behavior seem shocking. Details of Eve's school uniform and Mr. Devlin's black gloves are provided to characterize them. Next steps include deciding the target audience and gathering feedback.

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.

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.

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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

After selecting conventions for our opening, as
a group we researched Thriller movies further,
aiming to gather some inspiration and ideas
for the plot of our film and contextualise
conventions of an opening, to conventions of
an entire movie.
We devised our plot, and thought carefully
about what we should call our film, and why
the title is effective.
We then started to think about the characters,
and focused particularly on the characters that
would feature in the opening.

the protagonist pain, torture and puts
them in extreme situations involving
danger, injury, death and peril.

4. Mutual
FINDINGS
We decided on the title “Mutual Findings” because firstly, two word titles are effective because
they are short, sharp and snappy, meaning people are more likely to remember the name of the
film and become familiar with it.
The word “Mutual” and the plural “Findings” mirrors the complex plot perfectly, and gives potential
viewers a hint that there are revelations for more than one character in the film, which is typical of
a Thriller movie.
“Mutual” has connotations of friendship, family and sharing a bond, which “findings” suggests is yet
to be uncovered. I think the words used are fairly sophisticated without being too confusing for a title,
which is suitable for a Thriller because they are almost always aimed at an older market and this would
almost warn that the film is not suitable for children and is aimed at a more mature audience.
5. 15 years old
The protagonist's age means
that she is a child, and
therefore more vulnerable and
easy to
incorporate into difficult
situations. Children are often
stereotyped as naive, and the
danger Eve
ends up in reinforces this
stereotype.
The name
Eve is in a name in the Bible. She is a girl
who is originally pure and virginal, but who’s
angelic character is tarnished by the manipulation
and luring in of those that you might not expect.
Female
Traditional idea of
the female
protagonist
aims to make the
audience feel that
the female
is less powerful
Middle class background
and physically
In the Media, it is always children from working class backgrounds able than a male.
who are represented as dangerous and at risk. This is often blamed She is therefore
on the absence of parental guidance. The aim of Eve coming from more at risk.
a middle class background aims to relay a message that bad things
can happen to anybody, and anybody can be subject to a good or evil
personality, despite their background, image or how they appear.
6. Teacher
Hopefully, Mr Devlin’s
job as a teacher will be
the driving force in
sending out
a message that even
people in high positions
of power are capable of
deceitful
acts, and that there is a
fine line between how
someone appears to
be, and
their underlying
personality. Mr Devlin’s
position of trust makes
his stalking
behaviour seem more
shocking, because it is
a complete
contradiction of how
we would expect a
teacher to act.
Male
Males are stereotypically seen as more physically
able in comparison to women, which would make them
more capable to take advantage and carry out crime. They
also are traditionally the more feared gender.
The name
Mr Devlin is similar to the word
“Devil”, which further characterises
him as evil and sinister, and therefore
a probable candidate to play the role of an
antagonist. Mention of the name should be a
subtle clue to the audience that there is something
unpleasant about him?
7. The use of pen and paper was inspired by Black Swan.
It will be used to visually foreshadow how the plot progresses.
For example, the writing will start off slowly, and progressively
pick up a pace, mirroring the tension in the plot.
Use of a mobile phone will show the dangers of technology,
and how social networking has the power to harass and make
people feel suffocated, and as though they cannot escape.
Use of a modern mobile phone will also help the audience
identify the time that the movie is set in, as our movie is set
in the present day.
The protagonist will use an electronic swipe card to get out of
the school building. This is important because it shows that
no matter what lengths you go to in order to secure yourself
and others, this security can easily be broken, even in a trusted
environment.
8. Our protagonist will be dressed in her school
uniform, because this automatically puts her
at risk of being targeted by evil people with bad
intentions.
Her uniform will be smart and clean, showing her
Middle Class background, and indicating that she
is well looked after.
She will carry a designer handbag to also reflect
wealth and her social status.
She will wear a traditional coat, to show class and heritage.
The antagonist’s hands will be shown wearing black gloves,
because their identity is not to be revealed at this part in the
film. Black gloves have connotations of robbery, murder,
cover-ups and criminal offence.
9. What needs to be done next...
Decide on a target audience, and adapt
draft plot if necessary.
Create a questionnaire to send out to 30
people within the target audience about
preferences with regards to films.
Review the feedback and alter our film
accordingly and appropriately if
required.
