Matthew Arnold (24 December 1822 – 15 April 1888) was an English poet and cultural critic who worked as an inspector of schools. He was the son of Thomas Arnold, the famed headmaster of Rugby School, and brother to both Tom Arnold, literary professor, and William Delafield Arnold, novelist and colonial administrator.
During this time Arnold wrote the bulk of his most famous critical works, Essays in Criticism (1865) and Culture and Anarchy (1869), in which he sets forth ideas that greatly reflect the predominant values of the Victorian era.

It is actually how would the readers response to the message of the writer. Without the writer making his work, there would not be readers. And out readers reading the writers' work, there would not be sense of having it. It is actually a vice-versa relationship where both should function according to their role.
We Need a Hero: Facilitating Academic Conversations with Diverse LearnersKim Moore
The Avengers, League of Justice, Norse and Greek gods….students know them and love them. With such a cinematic view of what it takes to be a hero, how can we teach our students the valuable lesson that
heroes can be everyday people….just like them? We will explore this time-honored topic by looking at a variety of different genre and texts that are relatable to middle and high school students. The following
questions will be explored as examples of how to facilitate academic conversations with the diverse learners in your classes: Essential Question: Who Can Be a Hero? 1) What are Some Types of Heroes? 2) What
Makes a Hero? 3) Hero or Not—Evaluating 4) Synthesizing: Convictions based on Evidence? By exploring close reading strategies, we will engage in role play showing how a discussion leader can encourage academic conversation in their classrooms.
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

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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
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.

4. Theoretical Assumption
Literature is a per formative art and each
reading is a performance.
The literary text possess no fixed and final
meaning literary meaning is created by the
interaction of the text and reader
Reader is not passive but active
Role of reader cannot be ignored
5. Salient features
Acknowledged importance of text and reader
Text relationship with reader
Reader is 3rd party
Reality exist in readers mind
Work is fully created when readers assimilate it

depend on individual interpretation.
6. Types of responses
Initial emotional response
Interpretive
Analysis
Question
Summary
Arguing with author
Inter textuality
7. Text Identity
Imaginative literature is lived by reader
2 time reading of single text produces
great insight in the reader mind
Text alone is nothing as a unit but it
completes is identity after the reader
interpretation
8. Types of Reading
Aesthetic
Afferent
Aesthetic reading for pleasure
emotional focus literature.
Efferent reading for information
telephone book history text.
In reader response theory reading
must be aesthetic rather than
afferent.
9. Kinds of Meaning in a Text
Determinate
Indeterminate
Determinate basically the facts in the
text
Indeterminate are the “gaps” in the
text which is filled by readers
In RR theory, indeterminate meaning are
more focus
10. Kinds of Reader
Implied Reader
Actual Reader
Implied reader finds out the
determinate meaning of the text
Actual reader fills the gap in the text
and find out the indeterminate meaning of
the text
11. Techniques of Reading
Reader extracts the meaning through
Experiencing
Hypothesizing
Exploring
Synthesizing
12. Benefits
Broaden the horizon of mind
Multiple interpretation
Cultural study
Encourage the students to make
interpretations
13. Continued….
Dependence on the teachers is discouraged
Students trust on their own Responses
Students ability of responsibility and
authority is increased
Personal responses are valued
Help reader to become better critical
reader
14. limitations
Not every interpretation may be valid.
Students can also go beyond the
interpretation levels.
Students can also disagree and argue with
each others interpretations.
16. Comparison
Reader Response Method Traditional Method
Enhance Ideas
Student dependent
Student become
tolerant
Produces multiple
interpretation
Better critical reader
Single idea
Teacher dependent
Teacher biasness
Discourages
enhancements of
ideas
No practice of mind
17. Conclusion
Reader response theory is the best theory
which makes the reader and students to be
active and to analysis a text by their own
ways it achieved great importance in 19th
century and for students and teacher it is
the most reliable method of studying and
teaching
