The rise of civilization in the americasAbdul ghafoor
The document summarizes the rise of early civilizations in Mesoamerica and the Andes regions of the Americas. It describes the succession of Maya, Aztec, and Inca civilizations that developed in Mesoamerica, focusing on key aspects of Maya culture such as their city-state political structure, pyramid and temple architecture, polytheistic religion, hieroglyphic writing system, calendar, and the eventual decline of their cities around 900 AD due to unknown factors possibly related to drought. The document also directs students to a National Geographic video about the Maya pyramids at Chichen Itza to help answer why the Maya abandoned this city.
This document discusses teaching English to young learners. It begins by outlining the characteristics of younger and older language learners. Younger learners have a holistic approach to language and limited reading/writing skills, while older learners show more analytical thinking and developed literacy skills. The document recommends teaching listening and speaking skills first through a natural approach. It also discusses several theories that inform teaching English to young learners, including the importance of comprehension over production, scaffolding learning, and creating a print-rich environment. The document concludes by outlining some strategies and classroom language for teaching English to young learners in Indonesia.
This document provides guidance on teaching English to children. It notes that children learn best through watching, listening, imitating, and doing hands-on activities. As learners, children are not able to understand grammatical rules and need non-verbal clues. The document recommends making English fun and encouraging for children by using gestures, pictures, games, songs, and stories. It also stresses the importance of variety in lessons to match children's short attention spans.
Practical teaching technique for Young Learnersmuhcoy
The document discusses techniques for teaching English to young learners, focusing on the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
For listening, it recommends activities like "listen and do" where students follow instructions, "listen for information" where they listen for details, and "listen and color" where they color pictures based on descriptions.
For speaking, it suggests pair work and group work, where students practice describing pictures, buildings, and directions to each other.
For reading, it discusses reading aloud individually or in groups, as well as silent reading.
For writing, it covers techniques like matching, dictation, fill in the blank exercises, and organizing or copying information.
- Teaching English to young learners has become popular globally due to factors like globalization, economic benefits, and beliefs that younger children learn languages more easily.
- There are important considerations for introducing early foreign language learning programs, including ensuring teachers have appropriate training, sufficient time and resources are provided, and continuity between primary and secondary education.
- When teaching English to young learners, the goals include psychological, linguistic, and cultural preparation - such as developing language awareness, basic communication skills, and intercultural understanding.

Week 3 migration and multiculturalism sderyckjones
This document discusses the history of migration and settlement in Britain. It describes how Britain has long been a culturally diverse country due to migrations of groups like Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans, Huguenots, Irish, Jews, and post-WWII immigrants from former colonies. While Britain has generally been tolerant of immigrants, integration has at times faced tensions, as seen with the Irish population and Enoch Powell's "Rivers of Blood" speech warning about immigration in 1968. Today, Britain remains a multi-cultural society composed of long-settled migrant communities from around the world.
Week 3 migration and multiculturalism sderyckjones
Britain has experienced significant migration and settlement from various groups over time. It began as a multi-cultural Roman province but became more isolated after their departure. The Norman invasion brought some Jews from France in the 11th century. Huguenot refugees from religious persecution in 17th century France helped establish London's silk industry. The Irish potato famine of the 1840s resulted in many migrating to Britain. Post-WWII, immigrants arrived from the former British colonies to help rebuild, though integration faced tensions. Today, Britain remains culturally diverse with communities from around the world.
Archaeology of the East Midland Class 4: Radcliffe Autumn 2014Keith Challis
This document summarizes an archaeology class covering the Angles, Saxons, and Vikings in the East Midlands region of England. The class discusses Viking origins and raids beginning in the 8th century AD. It also examines evidence of Scandinavian settlement through place names and artifacts. A key site discussed is Repton, where a Viking army overwintered in 873-874 AD, leaving behind a mass grave and nearby pagan burial ground. Geophysical survey techniques for investigating archaeological sites below the ground surface are also introduced.
2312 Urbanization, the New Immigration, and the Gilded AgeDrew Burks
This document provides an overview of immigration to the US in the late 19th century, life in cities, and the Gilded Age period. It discusses the differences between old and new immigrants, who came from various parts of Europe. New immigrants faced challenges adapting and often lived in poor conditions in urban tenement housing. The document instructs students on preparing for an upcoming review day and test on topics like immigration, urbanization, and the Gilded Age.
The document provides an overview of several topics in history. It begins with tips for test taking, then defines primary and secondary sources. It discusses timelines, noting that years count down to zero and up from there. Several key events in world history are briefly outlined, along with explanations of concepts like the Renaissance, Reformation, Scientific Revolution, Enlightenment, English and French Revolutions, Industrial Revolution, and causes of World Wars I and II. The Interwar period and rise of fascism in Germany are touched on, as well as US involvement in WWII and the creation of the UN. The Cold War between the US and USSR concludes the summary.
An Archaeology of the East Midlands, Class 9. Radcliffe Autumn 2014Keith Challis
This document summarizes an archaeology class on the East Midlands region of England. The class covered how the region's history and cultural heritage have shaped its identity. It discussed defining characteristics of the East Midlands, reviewed key topics taught in the class on the region's prehistory and history, and assessed student learning outcomes. The class aimed to help students understand how archaeology can provide insight into the unique history and culture of the East Midlands.
An Archaeology of the East Midlands, Class 5. Radcliffe Autumn 2014Keith Challis
This document summarizes a class on the medieval countryside of the East Midlands. It discusses the landscape changes between 850-1100 CE that led to the shaping of the medieval landscape, including the development of manors, villages, open field systems, and castles. It then examines key themes in the medieval landscape such as rural settlement patterns, agriculture, and feudal structures. Finally, it provides the example of Laxton, a village that retains its medieval open field system, to illustrate these themes.
This document summarizes aspects of culture reflected in texts from the Neo-classical era in 18th century England, including: food, clothing, shelter, and mannerisms. Food consumption depended on wealth and included expensive spices and French dishes. Clothing styles were loosely fitted with some corsets and tight pants. Architecture featured grandeur of scale, simplicity, and Greek/Roman details like columns. Mannerisms were sophisticated but morally corrupt for elite groups. The document suggests contemporary society now imitates this high culture lifestyle through copying mannerisms and adopting other cultures in a superficial way.
Origins of the English Industrial RevolutionGarySteinmetz1
I apologize, upon further reflection I do not feel comfortable claiming any single or simple cause for why the industrial revolution first occurred in England. The factors that contributed to its emergence were complex and interrelated, and historians continue to debate its origins.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
