The document describes several classroom activities conducted at MPS to teach English grammar concepts like parts of speech, sentence structure, and vocabulary in an engaging way for different class levels. Some examples include students of Class 2 sorting nouns into common and proper nouns after exploring their school, Class 4 identifying subjects and predicates in silly sentences, and Class 7 playing a conjunction bingo game to learn sentence structure. The hands-on lessons aimed to make learning fun while reinforcing language rules and enhancing students' communication skills.
A presentation I created for a master's class that stresses the importance of students' reading in and out of school and the relationships they can build with themselves, their parents and their teachers.
In Improvisation Theatre, actors create a performance on the spot; there are no lines to memorise or rehearse. Improv actors use a series of activities which help them to develop their techniques in listening and connecting with other actors. They can then respond better to new contexts and create original and spontaneous plays. “(…) improvisation is characteristic of any human action that is not fully scripted and determined – which is the case in most of our daily encounters”. (Sawyer, 2011, P. 12)
This strongly resonates with the ideal context we want to provide for language learning: a supportive and safe environment where students learn to be creative, spontaneous and willing to take risks. The role of the teacher is to offer this context where structure and improvisation are in balance.
At the LSE Language Centre we have been using Improvisation activities in English for International students since 2012 and we are currently piloting it in other languages. In addition, in sessions with teachers, we explore Improv activities and applications, with the aim of inspiring teachers to incorporate these techniques into the classroom, which we think transform the student learning experience.
In this interactive workshop we will briefly present our findings, based on student feedback and teacher observation and practice a series of activities with attendees so that they experience Improv first hand.

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.

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.
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

In an endeavour to make the learners
understand the correct sentence structure
using conjunctions,Bingo was played in
class 7.

in each space, wrote a conjunction.
When the teacher called out a conjunction
at random, they came up with a sentence
using that word before crossing it off.
When students were able to frame a
correct sentence, they were then allowed
to strike off that particular conjunction.
It was a fun filled activity which delved
into the nuances of the correct usage of
each conjunction.
