This document outlines reading strategies that can be used before, during, and after reading. Some key strategies mentioned are activating prior knowledge using a KWL chart, setting a purpose for reading, scanning the text using SCAN to survey headings and key words, using graphic organizers like Cornell notes during reading, and reflecting on and reviewing notes after reading. The overall message is that being an organized reader requires strategies at each stage of the reading process.
This presentation focuses on the concept of active reading strategies. Participants will be introduced to an array of strategies to train students on going beyond the passive retrieval of information from a reading passage. The purpose is to shed more light on the advantageous use of advanced reading skills, such as summarizing, interpreting, comparing and analyzing to interact actively and effectively with any given text. In a similar vein, this practical workshop will engage participants into hands-on activities so as to practise a number of active reading strategies for encouraging and maintaining students’ motivation in reading classes.
To make it simple readers are expected to apply SQ3R Theory... this could help the candidates / readers to understand the concept behind the paragraphs given...

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
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.

2. Beginning Reading to do list:
1. Activate prior knowledge
2. Set a purpose for reading
3. Scan the text
4. Look at the pictures
5. key words (vocabulary)
3.
4. Activate prior knowledge:
In order to understand
the importance of and to fully
comprehend what one is reading,
one must activate prior knowledge.
When activating prior knowledge
one will make connections before,
during and after reading (prior
knowledge).
5. Activate prior knowledge:
How do I start to activate
my prior knowledge?
To begin a KWL chart is an
easy way to organize your
thoughts (prior knowledge).
6. K-W-L
When using a KWL chart the
“K” and the “W” can be filled out
prior to reading. The “K” will
represent what the reader already
knows about the topic. As the reader
you should list all facts that you know
related to the topic. The “W” will
represent what you the reader wants
to know (KWL).
7. Setting a Purpose for Reading:
Once the KWL chart has been started the brain should be warming up.
Now that the brain has had time to think about what you know and
what you want to know, it is time to use this information to determine
the purpose for reading.
“When you read a nonfiction text, your purpose is to learn something, so
You want to be ready to learn before you start reading (reading purpose)”.
By looking at the front and back of the text, reading the title and using the
KWL information you will have a better understanding of what you are going
to read and why.
8. Scan The Text:
Before reading it is important
to scan the text. Using the method
SCAN will help to remember what
to look for.
S-survey the headings
C-capture the captions and visuals
( look at the captions under all pictures
and graphs)
A-attack bold face words (look for
Keywords)
N-note and read the chapter questions
If available (scan).
10. When scanning the text look for important key words, these
words are usually in bold print. The key words can be
organized into Semantic maps, which are “visual
representations of vocabulary that help organize subject
matter (Bursuck,Damer 244). When using this graphic
organizer write the keyword in the middle. Then write
details about the word around it including, what it is,
what is it like and some examples (Bursuck, Damer 245).
11. During Reading:
1. Run strategy- reading speed(fluency)
2. Run- word recognition
3. Graphic organizers
4. Self-Questioning
5. Pause-Think-Reflect
12. RUN:
RUN will help you remember three important tips for reading.
R- read and adjust speed (run). While reading pause to take note
if you are remembering what you are reading. If not
slow down and think about what you are reading.
U- use word identification skills (run). Use context
clues for unfamiliar words, break words apart
and sound them out.
N- notice and check parts you don’t
understand (run).
13. Graphic Organizers:
Graphic organizers such as tables and charts help to organize information and assist
the memory while reading and after reading for review (Bursuck, Damer 286).
Cornell notes is one way of organizing facts and thoughts onto paper to assist the
memory. When taking Cornell notes draw a line down the center of the paper. On
the left side write key topics such as the bold face print titles from the text. On the
right side write bullet points of information that will help to remember what you
read from the text such as, dates, names
people and repeated information (Cornell).
14. Self Questioning:
While reading it is important to ask questions as a way of reviewing the text. This will help
you to determine if your are comprehending and understanding the text
(Bursuck, Damer 296). Think of questions that will help make sense of the text; such as
considering the bullet points from the Cornell notes, what I am writing down does it make sense
with the bullet points? Can I find an answer in this section? What
does the text want me to remember from this section? When
asking these questions and you find you are having trouble
answering them, then go back and re-read the text. Remember
RUN - slow down and read slowly for comprehension.
15. Pause-Think-Retell:
During reading at the end of a section or page pause and think. Think about what was
just read and try to retell the sequence of events in your head. If you are able to think
and retell what was read then move on, if not go back and re-read the section (pause).
16. After Reading:
1.KWL
2.Reflect
3.Review notes
4. Making text
connections
5. Test-making
skills
17. KWL:
Now that you have completed reading it is time
to fill out the “L” on the KWL chart. The “L” stands
for “what I’ve learned”. Refer to your Cornell notes
and think about the facts that stand out to you
and write them down in the “L” column (KWL).
18. Reflect:
After reading has been
completed it is time to
think about what you have
read. Review your notes and
write down a summary of what
you have learned. A summary
or reflection will help to reinforce
the new information to memory
(reflect).
20. Making Text Connections:
Using the making text connections organizer
will help to draw a more clear understanding
of the material. Try doing this on your own, but
use your notes if needed. When filling this out
you will make personal and real world
connections to the text (making connections).
21. Test Making Skills:
Now that you have had plenty of time to review the text and your notes, try
your test making skills. Try making a test about 5 questions and then exchange your
test with a partner. Try to take the test and then give each other feedback
(Bursuck, Damer 318).
22. To wrap up an review there are three parts to being an organized reader before
reading, during reading and after reading strategies. Remember to skim the text,
reflect on what you already know, take clear notes, slow down and re-read, review
notes, re-read for comprehension and above all reflect and take in the information
from the text. Enjoy reading don’t look at it like a task but as an opportunity to
broaden your mind.
