This document provides an overview of world history from prehistory to the Neolithic Revolution. It describes how prehistory is defined as before writing began 5000 years ago. During the Old Stone Age (Paleolithic Age, 2.5 million to 8000 BC), the earliest tools date back to this era. The Great Leap Forward around 50000 BC saw innovations like fish hooks, arrows, and art emerge. The New Stone Age (Neolithic Age, 8000 to 3000 BC) saw developments like polished tools, pottery, crop growing, and animal domestication. The Neolithic Revolution around 10000 years ago involved the domestication of plants and animals, leading to urbanization, social hierarchies, and population growth.

Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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.
2. Pre-history
• What is prehistory?
• It is defined as the time before the
invention of writing, roughly 5,000 years
ago.
3. Scientists
• Archaeologists
– Scientists who learn about early people by
excavating and studying the traces of early
settlements.
• Anthropologists
– Study cultures, or people’s unique way of life.
• Paleontologists
– Study fossils: evidence of early life preserved in
rocks.
4. The Old Stone Age
• Also known as the Paleolithic Age.
– Lasted from 2.5 million years ago to 8000
B.C.
– The oldest chopping tools date back to this
era
5. Great Leap
Forward
When? 50,000 b.p.
Emergence of:
• Fish hooks, Arrows, Bows,
Needles, Engravers, Awls
• Art
• Jewelry (Beads at first)
• Navigation/Boating?
(Australia from New
Guinea)
Proposed Causes:
• Voicebox development /
language
• Brain organization change
Lascaux Caves, France
6. New Stone Age
• Also known as the Neolithic Age
– Began around 8000 B.C. and ended
around 3000 B.C.
– People during this era learned to polish
tools, make pottery, grow crops, and raise
animals.
• Old and New Stone Age both occurred
during the Ice Age.
7. When did Humans arrive on
the scene?
• Age of hominids? 7 million years
• Age of homo sapiens? 500,000 years
• Neanderthals? 140,000-50,000 y.a.
– Separate evolutionary line: First genocide?
• Cro-Magnon? 40,000 y.a. (fully modern anatomy)
8. Hominid Development?
• Homo erectus was found 1.6 million
years ago in Africa. Homo erectus
means, “upright man”
– 1st to migrate, use fire and develop
language.
• Homo sapiens mean, “wise men”
9. Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons
• Neanderthals
– 1st to develop religious beliefs and
performed rituals like burial for their dead
– Vanished about 30,000 years ago
• Cro-Magnons
– Identical to modern-day humans
10. People of the Old Stone Age
• Nomads:
– Wander from place to place; these people
were always depending on hunting animals
and collecting plant foods
– They were also known as hunter-gatherers.
11. Neolithic Revolution
Domestication of Plants and Animals
Occurred around 10,000 years ago
Also known as the Agricultural Revolution
Farming Methods
Slash-and-burn farming:
Farmers cut down trees and grasses to clear
a field. Ashes would be used to fertilize the
crops farmers would plant.
12. Neolithic Revolution
Domestication of Animals
· Dog was probably first.
· Early domesticated animals:
cattle, oxen, pigs, sheep,
goats, guinea pigs, llama
• role in agricultural
production and success
· Relationship to success of
particular cultures: Indo-
European Horsemen
13. Neolithic Revolution
Primary effects:
· Urbanization
· Social Stratification
· Occupational Specialization
· Increased population densities
