This presentation will discuss questions teachers can use to focus on in academic text. These questions help students interact with the information in the text, the author’s purpose, and the text’s organization. Participants will examine text samples, example questions, and student work from elementary and secondary contexts.
Intensive English Program students are ever-changing in language background and origin. Recently, additional differences have more commonly surfaced, including learning disabilities, academic learning gaps, and increased lower English proficiency-level students. This session will increase awareness of these issues and discuss resources and ways to understand and develop strategies to address them in the ESL classroom.
This presentation outlines a framework for motivating language teachers developed by Dörnyei and Kubanyiova (2014) which highlights the concept of vision as a powerful motivational force for change and development. Vision-based strategies in the form of specific activities that can be used by teachers and teacher educators will be featured.

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.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
8. Text Selection
Dr. Janice Almare (2014 a) states that some of the things to consider
when selecting text is readability, text length, text structure, size of
print, and visual support.
Dr. Douglas Hartman (2014 a) states that it is important to expose
children to all types of text such as narrative, informational, semionic
and Linguistic.
Ruetzel & Cooter (2016) emphasize the importance of selecting a
variety of interesting and appropriately challenging reading and writing
materials.
9. Part III Emergent Literacy Learner Lesson
• Will introduce the students to the book F is for Flag as F is the letter of the week
• Then I will go over a few words in the text that may be unfamiliar to the students
• We will do a picture walk through the book and record the students predictions
• I will then read the story also known as a shared reading experience
• Once we complete the story, I will review the predictions noted for comprehension
• The students will then participate in a writing activity by decorating a flag
• Next the students will either write or draw one thing that they liked or remembered about the story
• Finally as an oral language opportunity, the students will share their picture and explain what they drew with the
class
10. Instructional Strategies for the Emergent
Literacy Learner
• Picture Walk- This is a strategy that is used to introduce
young children to a book where time is spent discussion the
pictures observed prior to reading the book. This technique
helps young children with comprehension (Ruetzel & Cooter,
2016)
• Read Aloud or Shared Reading Strategy- This strategy is the
practice of sharing a book with the students where the
teacher can model the reading process and point out print
concepts (Ruetzel & Cooter, 2016)
11. Emergent Literacy Environment
• Large books/print
• Music
• Reading area for group reading
• Areas for role playing
• Print rich environment
• Alphabet Displayed
• Labels on objects in the classroom
(Laureate Education, 2014f)
12. Part IV Beginning Reading Literacy Learner
• Prior to reading the book The Night Before the Fourth of July, I will ask the students some open-ended
questions pertaining to our Nations Independence and the traditions that are built around that holiday
• As a class we will do a picture walk, as this book is a narrative, I want to see if the children can identify some
of the traditions. I will note some of the things they identify after we read they story
• I will add some words or text from the book to our class word wall.
• We will then have a shared reading experience as I read the book to the class
• Once we complete the story, I will pair them with a partner to discuss some of the traditions they recalled
hearing in the story. We will then share them and compare the traditions to the one’s that we noted prior to
reading the story
• The students will then do a writing assignment, by drawing and then writing one to two sentences
describing their favorite 4th of July tradition.
13. Instructional Strategies for the Beginning
Literacy Learner
• Question Generation/Elaborative Interrogation-This strategy is used
to encourage students to use their own personal knowledge and
experience to create some “why” questions and then find
information in the book to link the statement to the question (Ruetzel
& Cooter, 2016 p.394)
• Think-Pair-Share: Readers Collaborate to Comprehend- This strategy
gives students the opportunity to share their ideas and feelings about
a text with either another student or a group of students (Ruetzel &
Cooter, 2016 P. 381
14. Beginning Literacy Learner Environment
• Reading Centers with a variety of books for students to read
independently or with a partner
• Word Walls with high frequency words that the students are
becoming familiar with and starting to identify in print
• Print Rich Environment/Objects Labeled
• Vocabulary words displayed
• Writing Centers for practicing writing sentences and/or short stories
(Laureate Education, 2014c)
15. REFLECTION
Through this process I have learned more about emergent and beginning
literacy learners and the type of environments these learners need to
become active readers. I became more aware of the cognitive and
nonconitive factors of literacy and how each one is relevant to a child’s
ability to read. Some of the instructional strategies that really help both
of these types of literacy learners are shared reading, picture walks,
question generation/interrogation, and think-pair-share. For both the
emergent and beginning literacy learner it’s important to know how to
select a variety of text that is challenging. The matrix tool is a great tool
to help in the selection of such text. When selecting text, it is important
to consider length, structure, size of print and the visual supports as
both the emergent and beginning literacy learner are acquiring the skill
of to looking at pictures and other visual aids to gain information about
text. I know that the lesson plans I create, taking all of these tools,
strategies, and information into consideration, will help my students to
progress in their literacy development.
