The Phoenicians were the great mariners of the ancient world, and their thalassocracy (maritime realm) was organized into city-states. It is important to understand there was never a country or empire called “Phoenicia.” A possible origin of the historical name for this Semitic/Canaanite culture might have come from the ancient Greek Φοινίκη (Phoiníkē) meaning “Purple Land.” That is because the Phoenicians were famous in their own time for their dark purple dye—a rare and prized commodity. Inhabitants of the Phoenician city-states along the Eastern Mediterranean coast (like Sidon and Tyre) might have called themselves Kenaani (Canaanites).
A presentation of the Persian Empire, suitable for Year 9 students, consisting in following: zoroastrianism, Persian dynasties, famous kings, type of government, Xerxes, world first human rights charter, first vertical axis windmill.
This is our presentation on the Persian Empire. It is a product of the work and effort of Monisha, Caitlin, and Rachel of team 8 in global class period 1.
The Mycenaean civilization flourished during the period roughly between 1600 BC. It perished with the collapse of bronze age civilization in the eastern Mediterranean.

Ancient Greece was a civilization that developed in southern Europe, more precisely in the Balkans, extending to the Peloponnese and along the entire Mediterranean coast. This civilization developed from 1100 BC and its history continued until 146 BC when it was ruled by the Romans.
Humans are in born explorers. Throughout history, one of the deepest human impulses has been the
drive to voyages to explore, encounter, and reveal the unknown. The history of exploration is complete
with noteworthy success stories and the unfortunate failures of many explorers. People have always
been curious about the world and this quest for knowledge has driven explorers on bold adventures
throughout the ages. Voyages and Exploration has also been motivated by the desire for wealth and
power, the wish to spread one’s culture and religion, and the need to reach new trading partners. Many
navigational tools and map-making developed over time have enabled explorers to reach these goals.
The Phoenicians were enigmatic people, who left little in the way of written records. Much of what we know of them from ancient times was recorded by Greek and Roman historians who mentioned their seamanship and shrewd business dealings.
Greece historically in Katharevousa and Ancient Greek, Hellas, officially the Hellenic Republic is a country in Southern Europe, politically considered part of Western Europe.

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.
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.

Φοινίκη, Phoiníkē meaning the colour purple) was
an ancient civilization situated on the East
Mediterranean coastal part of the Fertile Crescent,
on the coastline of what is now Lebanon, Israel,
Jordan, Gaza, Syria and south west Turkey, though

Phoenicia
4. Phoenicia
The enterprising, sea-based Phoenician
civilization spread across the Mediterranean
between 1500 BC and 300 BC.
Phoenicia is a Classical Greek term used to refer
to the major export of the region, cloth dyed
Tyrian purple from the Murex mollusc, and
referred to the major Canaanite port towns, and it
does not correspond exactly to a cultural identity
that would have been recognised by the
Phoenicians themselves.
6. Their civilization was organized in city-states, similar to
those of Ancient Greece, perhaps the most notable of
which were Tyre, Sidon, Arvad, Berytus and Carthage.
Each city-state was a politically independent unit, and it is
uncertain to what extent the Phoenicians viewed
themselves as a single nationality. In terms of archaeology,
language, lifestyle, and religion there was little to set the
Phoenicians apart as markedly different from other Semitic
Canaanites.

7. Phoenicia
The Phoenicians were the first state-level
society to make extensive use of alphabets:
the Phoenician one is in fact generally held to
be one of the major ancestors of all modern
alphabets. By their maritime trade, the
Phoenicians spread the use of the alphabet
to Anatolia, North Africa, and Europe, where
it was adopted by the Greeks, who in turn
transmitted it to the Romans.
