Traditional games of Greece were an important part of childhood in ancient times. Children played group games and races to exercise, socialize, and develop their personalities according to rules. Plato and Aristotle emphasized the importance of play for children. The ancient Greeks even placed toys and games in tombs with the dead, believing they provided entertainment in the afterlife. Some traditional Greek games like folk counting rhymes and games involving statues, rings, and guessing have endured through Byzantine times and remain played today in similar forms.
A View of East Harlem through the Eyes of its YouthKristen Hackett
This presentation is a compilation of a photovoice project conducted with teens attending the Scan Johnson Center located in East Harlem, NYC. East Harlem, or 'El Barrio,' is a historically low-income, Latino community in the northeast region of New York City. It is an interesting geography in that its rich, tight-knit community is matched in strength by the targeting of developers threatening gentrification and displacement. The aim of our project was to interrogate notions of 'home' and deepen our understanding of how young people make home and navigate life given these circumstances. The teens were given disposable cameras to capture aspects of their lives they deemed important, and then over the course of 6 weeks, we met to discuss, deconstruct and elaborate what pictures they snapped and why. In the end, our project speaks not to how youth are navigating these circumstances, but how they are resilient in the face of the harsh market realities that await them just outside on their doorstep.

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.

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.

7. For thousands of years in the same ways, children have entertained themselves,
created their personality, socialized, exercised their body and spirit through
games. The ancient Greeks attached great importance to the game and its role.
They dedicated much of their free time to group games and races, in the streets,
courtyards and always intended to have rules and obey them.
Child and game
8. Plato emphasized the need to allow children toplay until their sixth birthday,
with whatever games they wanted, while Aristotle advised parents to give
children as many original games as possible, to devote themselves to, disturb
adults less and at the same time develop creative imagination.
In the tombs they placed favorite games of the dead. They believed that games
relaxed and entertained man even in the underworld.

10. In Byzantine times they continued with some of the same games.
As much as technology progresses and children's interests change, they will
never stop playing the same games in nature or in the street.

13. Statuettes
All children are on the line except one. This child (the ‘’mana ‘’) is far from the
other children and with his back turned says:
“Statuettes motionless, silent, sullen, day or night?”
When that one talks, the other children, are moving around. When they ask
“day or night”, if they are not ready they shout "night" and "day" when they get
a specific pose. If they say "night" the game continues and if they say "day", the
child turns and all the other children stay motionless like a statue. The first
child who moves takes the child's position and the game starts again. Whoever
moves , speaks , or laughs, loses their turn and returns to the starting line. The
objective is to touch the ‘’mana’’ while the ‘’manas’’ back is facing them.
When that happens , the ‘’mana’’ begins chasing the children. Whoever gets
caught first , will act as the ‘’mana’’ in the next round.

15. The ringThe "mother" has a ring between her palms and passes through the hands of the children who
have their hands together. At some point they leave the ring in a child’s hands, trying not to be
noticed by the other children. Each of the children has to find out to whom the “mother” has left
the ring. The one who finds it, gets the ring and becomes the "mother". As the ‘’mother’’passes the
ring from hand to hand, they all sing a song :
“Where is it? Where is the ring?
Look for it, look for it, you will not find it
you will not find it, you will not find it,
the ring you are looking for”
As soon as the rhyme ends each child guesses who has the ring.
The one who guesses correctly becomes the mother and the game starts over.
