This document summarizes how the media product uses and develops conventions of real music magazines. It discusses using a simple masthead font like Cosmopolitan, stretching text across the top, and using colors like pink seen in teen magazines. It also discusses including a bottom strap line with prizes and features, center images, and small straplines to focus on the main image. The contents page includes sections on fashion and celebrities and spreads out images like other music magazines. It also uses the same masthead font. Double page spreads usually include interviews with artists, so one was created about the person on the cover.

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 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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
1. Question 1- In what ways does
your media product use, develop or
challenge forms and conventions of
real media products? (I.e. of music
magazines)
2. This is the masthead of my pop music magazine. I have called my music magazine Listen
because I asked teenagers between the ages of 12-16+ what name they would like the
magazine to be called and this was the name that the majority of teenagers voted for. I
thought of this name because the audience listens to music so I thought it was a good name to
call a music magazine. On my front cover I have used a simple font which other magazines use
such as cosmopolitan magazine.
I have spread the text across the top of the page which is used in most magazines usually the
main image over laps the text but I thought that the text needed to stand out and be clear
because sometimes the image makes it hard for the audience to read the masthead for
example Glamour magazine has the “M” covered by the image.
Although most magazines have used this technique I decided that I wanted
my magazine to be different for the rest. I have coloured the text white
because it made it stand out more. I wanted to use pink originally because
most teen magazine have a pink masthead but I didn’t want to overpower
the colour pink because I used a lot of pink further down the page.
3. This is my magazine front cover. The layout of my front cover
follows some of the traditional conventions of magazine. I
have placed the mast head at the top of the page and
stretched it across so it fits across the top. This is used in many
magazines so I wanted to use this convention in my magazine.
I have also got a bottom strip line which is used in pop music
magazine I have looked at but not normally a convention in a
glamour/ professional magazine. Although I wanted to make
my magazine professional I wanted to follow the conventions
of a pop music magazine. This bottom strap line includes
prizes to win and images of features inside the magazine. In
other pop music magazine I they use this bottom strap line to
promote competitions and prizes. I have also used a puff
which is a common convention in all magazines. I have used
mine to promote a prize which the audience can win by
entering a competition inside the magazine. I have also used straplines which all magazines
have to entice the readers in. I have made my strapline quite small which most magazine
have a lot of straplines on both sides of the main image. I wanted to make my straplines
small so the audience would focus mainly on the image and the main feature in this
magazine. Straplines are a main convention in any magazine. My main image is in the middle
of the page which most magazine front cover images are in the middle of the page so I
thought I would follow the same conventions to make my magazine similar to ones on the
market.
4. By looking at my front cover you can tell my magazine is
made for teenage girls and that it is a pop music
magazine. The first thing that could give it away is the
colours I have used. I have used three main pink, white
and yellow. These colours are seen as girly and feminine.
Another factor that you can tell this magazine is made
for girls is that the main image is of a teenage girl which
would be more relatable to a teenager then to a person
of an older generation. A factor that the audience would
tell that my magazine is made for pop music and
teenage girls is the picture of the band. The image
appeals to the teenage audience because most teenage
girls like bands. So by looking at this image it is obvious
to see that this magazine is pop because most bands are
know for their pop music.
5. In my magazine contents page I looked at other music
magazines contents pages and most pop music
magazines have features about fashion and celebrities
so I decided to follow the same conventions to make my
magazine similar to others on the market. I have four
text boxes that all feature different things throughout
the magazine. Most pop music magazine have many
sections of their contents page so I have split my text
boxes up like the layout on other pop music magazines.
I have quite a lot of white space but most magazines are
like this because they don’t want to over crowd the
reader when they open the magazine. I have spread out
the images so that this page does not look cluttered.
The masthead is the same as the masthead on the front
of the magazine this is a common convention of any
magazine that the font of the mast head is the same on
both contents page and front cover.
6. I have used images of people that feature on the front cover
of my magazine. I have done this because in other pop music
magazine I saw that they used the same people on the font
but in different outfits. So I followed the same conventions
of other pop music magazines. I have also added images of
the same people for repetition to let the audience know
exactly who is featured in this magazine.
7. For the title of the magazine I have used the same font
style as the front of the magazine. I have done this
because in almost every magazine they use the same
font style for the title of the magazine and the contents
page masthead. I have used the same font style for the
text as the font on the front cover. I have done this
because it makes the magazine flow as the font styles
are the same. I have used a different font style for the
headers for each text box. I have used a font style that
is different because most headings are different to the
actual text. I have only used three font styles on this
page.
8. The mise en scene of this image is the
model reflection. I have cut out the
model and just kept the reflection
because it makes the model look more
mysterious. The image has no colour only
black and white which makes the model
stands out. The gold and silver foil stands
out against the models skin tone. The
model is also wearing black which blends
in with the black and white background.
The other three images I have made
black and white but kept the colour of
the gold and silver foil.
9. For this image I used gold and silver foil
which I stuck onto the models face with
special face glue on the models face
because I was looking up makeup looks
on google images and found a makeup
look similar to this and I decided to
recreate this look.
10. In my double page spread I have made
up an interview about the person on
the front of the magazine. I have made
up eleven questions and wrote an
answer to all of them in the perspective
of a pop artist just starting out in the
music industry. I have made up an
interview because in most magazines
the double page spread is an interview
with a pop music artist usually the one
on the front cover. I have wrote about
how she started out in the music
industry and what is she going to do in
the future. For these questions I looked
at other music magazines double page
interview and adapted the questions to
make them my own.
