“House Taken Over”
Julio Cortázar
Perform a close reading of the short story below. Remember the steps for reading closely:
Circle and define any unknown words in the left margin.
Highlight in yellow any passages necessary for understanding the plot. Note in the right margin any important details that are revealed.
Highlight in orange any passages necessary for interpreting the text.
We liked the house because, apart from its being old and spacious (in a day when old houses go down for a profitable auction of their construction materials), it kept the memories of great-grandparents, our paternal grandfather, our parents and the whole of childhood.
Irene and I got used to staying in the house by ourselves, which was crazy; eight people could have lived in that place and not have gotten in each other's way. We rose at seven in the morning and got the cleaning done, and about eleven I left Irene to finish off whatever rooms and went to the kitchen. We lunched at noon precisely; then there was nothing left to do but a few dirty plates. It was pleasant to take lunch and commune with the great hollow, silent house, and it was enough for us just to keep it clean. We ended up thinking, at times, that that was what had kept us from marrying. Irene turned down two suitors for no particular reason, and Maria Esther went and died on me before we could manage to get engaged. We were easing into our forties with the unvoiced concept that the quiet, simple marriage of sister and brother was the indispensable end to a line established in this house by our grandparents. We would die here someday, obscure and distant cousins would inherit the place, have it torn down, sell the bricks and get rich on the building plot; or more justly and better yet, we would topple it ourselves before it was too late.
Irene never bothered anyone. Once the morning housework was finished, she spent the rest of the day on the sofa in her bedroom, knitting. I couldn't tell you why she knitted so much; I think women knit when they discover that it's a fat excuse to do nothing at all. But Irene was not like that; she always knitted necessities, sweaters for winter, socks for me, handy morning robes and bed jackets for herself. Sometimes she would do a jacket, then unravel it the next moment because there was something that didn't please her; it was pleasant to see a pile of tangled wool in her knitting basket fighting a losing battle for a few hours to retain its shape. Saturdays I went downtown to buy wool; Irene had faith in my good taste, was pleased with the colors and never a skein had to be returned. I took advantage of these trips to make the rounds of the bookstores, uselessly asking if they had anything new in French literature. Nothing worthwhile had arrived in Argentina since1939.
But it's the house I want to talk about, the house and Ire ...

She opens the car door and takes her first step onto the dark country soil of her new home. This is the place she has dreamed of since age eighteen. That age where you start to notice your surroundings and find out what disenchants you. For her, it was city life. No peace, no quiet, just bustling drunks and strip clubs. She hated it. Always dreaming of a time, she could afford to escape. Finding land with a small house in the center. A bucolic setting with white shutters and the endless aesthetic of a picket fence. Finally, her dream had come true. As she walks up to her new home and surveys the property it sits on, she begins to feel an overwhelming sense of déjà vu (tedious familiarity). Up until this point Mary had not seen the property in person, only through badly taken photos provided by the previous owner. An elderly woman, who would not allow visitors until she had vacated the premises. Mary had found that an odd detail at first, but the price was below her range, and she did not care to wait for anyone else to snag this six-acre gem before she had the chance. She felt a connection to this place but could not figure out why. Unbeknownst to her, the property differed from the awkward photos she had seen. There was no picket fence, no distinguishable property line, and a shed that stood forbidding off in the distance that made her uncomfortable. But not enough to strip her excitement of looking forward to some peace and quiet. She grabbed her first box and headed for the front door.
Once inside her senses were triggered again by a familiar smell of fresh lilac t ...

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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. story
• First shot: Mother-British, late 20’s, Saturday Lunchtime, walking up
path to house with handbag on one arm, keys in one hand and
shopping bag on other arm. She has returned home after going food
shopping.
• She unlocks the door like any normal door and walks into the hall,
she sees nothing is different and we see her putting her bags down
whilst talking to her neighbour who agreed to baby-sit her child while
she was out. For example, the mother could be calling the
neighbours name and asking how the baby was and if she found her
favourite toy (A Rabbit). The mother would then precede to explain
how her husband called her while she was out from his business trip
and told her that it had been extended a few extra days. The mother
would then repeat the neighbours name when she hears no answer.
3. story
• The mother would then enter the living room, only to find the entire
place trashed, with furniture all over the place. It is clear that a
struggle has gone on.
• The mother, then frantic for her child and neighbours life runs
upstairs calling out the name of the child and neighbour and runs
into the babies room only to find the baby is not in there.
• Running out the babies room into the corridor the mother stops
short as she sees a little pool of blood at the other end of the
corridor, moving closer she sees that the babies favourite toy (the
rabbit as previously mentioned earlier) is in the pool of blood.
• Now knowing that someone is hurt she runs to the landline in her
bedroom, on her bedroom table but after a few tries realises that the
landline has been cut. Whilst shaking she digs her mobile out of her
pocket and dials 999 whilst running downstairs.
4. story
• She gets downstairs but her phone is still trying to connect,
something catches her eye. It is a piece of paper nailed to the door.
Moving closer she reads the note (John, You’ve got 24 hours. Come
find your wife and child. Don’t be late.) The note is meant for her
husband threatening her and her child’s life.
• Suddenly the 999 operator picks up and she drops the phone in
shock as she realises she was meant to be kidnapped.
• The final shot is of the phone smashing on the floor.
Music
• Upon discovery of the ruined house non-diegetic music would begin,
quietly at first and would then get louder. The idea of the music is to
show that all hope is lost. The music I am planning on using will be
embedded.
5. setting
• The house the opening scene will be set in should be spacious, with
mainly wooden furniture. The family will be wealthy so should have
a well decorated house.
The baby’s room, a basic
wooden theme to fit with the
rest of the house.
The wooden based living The kitchen, one of
room which in my thriller the rooms the mother
would be completely would run into upon
trashed. discovery of the
trashed house.
6. ProPs
• The props I will be using will be basic everyday items as my thriller
opening scene is based in an average home.
• An important prop is the Childs favourite toy. This is later found lying
in a small pool of blood. This indicates that the child is in danger.
• Other important props would include the mobile phone we see
smash at the end of the opening scene.
7. costuMes
• I envision the mother as being an average housewife, wearing jeans
and a white cardigan, the white will be used to show that she is the
victim and is innocent.
