This session will cover ways to help students make their thesis statements and body paragraph claims debatable. Some tips will include the cause and effect method to add debatable material to factual statements and how to use “why” or “how” questions to develop debatable and on-task claims in student writing.
This session focuses on ways that educators can learn from regularly reading other people's teacher blogs and education blogs. An introduction to how to start your own education-focused blog will also be discussed and demonstrated. Free blogging services will be shared during the webinar. The session will also focus on the new UTA New Teachers website and blog and ways that people can be guest bloggers!

To build the right product you need to understand the people who use it. Good interviewing should be one of your core skills—whether you are a designer, an entrepreneur, a product manager, or an innovator. Yet I see people making the same mistakes again and again when they go and talk to customers.
This talk will help folk get the most from conversations with customers — by showing you how not to do it. I’ll walk through a series of examples of how I’ve seen people do it wrong, and advice on how to avoid their mistakes.
What do you do when you teach in a computerless classroom and you happen to be a technogeek? Moreover, you teach adult students who claim they have no time to work on their English between classes? And then, you notice that their writing is lagging behind their other competences? You can accept the situation, or you can try to change something.
Online forums can help here, by creating a real need for communication. While I haven’t flipped my classroom completely, I have managed to rotate it slightly. To motivate the students to write, I tempted them with authentic online materials, such as YouTube videos, short stories, non-fiction texts and webquests. In my presentation I will show how these serve as effective writing prompts. Moreover, they help both the teacher and the students explore their own interests and hobbies, which might not always be catered for in the textbooks.

DISCUSSION POST:
Hi everyone,
As I looked at my thesis and organization this week, I thought back to several things
brought up in the readings. The reading “Essay Structure” mentioned that essays
generally flow from general to specific or specific to general. My essay seems to fit the
general to specific best since it begins with ways in which students are bullied as a whole
then examines bullying targeting special needs students as well as a specific way to
address this problem.
In addition, I liked the graphic organizer options. I’ve always been a scratch outliner,
but the graphic organizers, especially the first one, forced me to think in complete ideas.
They also helped me make sure I included all the information I need to, such as the
thesis, the target audience, the problem, the solution, and counter arguments. I plan to
use the first organizer.
I made some changes to my thesis based on the feedback I received in units 5 and 6, too.
Thesis: Despite assertions that bullying is just kids being kids, the behavior actually
comes from not understanding differences, disabilities, and specialness – a problem
parents, educators, and others who work with children can use fiction to solve.
General Elements of
Argument
Key Points Supporting Evidence
I. Introduction
Who is the target
audience?
The target audience is
parents, teachers and
others who work with
children.
People who work with
children need to understand
why bullying takes place
and how to address it
because it is far more
extensive and brutal than
many know.
CM220: Unit 7 Discussion Sample Purdue Global, 2018
How will you introduce
the problem to them?
The problem will be
addressed through
descriptions and
examples.
For example, consider a
recent decision by Twitter to
add hate speech against the
disabled to their reporting
feature. The change came
after a campaign
spearheaded by a mother
whose child has severe
cranial-facial abnormalities.
The mother constantly
receives messages that her
daughter should be “put
down” or that she should
have had an abortion
because the child is
“defective” and a “drain on
society.”
II. Problem Overview
Key ideas to illustrate the
problem
Bullying is a broad
concern because schools
serve a variety of special
populations.
In 2013-14, the average of
special populations in

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.

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

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.
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.

7. Student Example
Does American society allow for a poor individual to become
wealthy? Some people do believe that it is in fact completely
possible for a poor individual to become wealthy in America,
whereas others are very doubtful such a drastic effect can be
achieved. Within American society, most believe, it is improbable
for an individual to go from poor to rich because the American
people have become more pessimistic and are more untrusting of
our government.

Cause Effect
● He wanted Daisy
● He didn’t want to be poor
● He wanted to be Dan Cody
● He resented his lazy parents
● He lost Daisy
● He was killed
● He lost himself
To help students create arguable claims, follow this (or a version of this template):
Step 1: Start with a plot point.
E.g. Gatsby was liar.
Step 2: Encourage students to think about the cause and effect of their plot point.
Step 3: Develop an arguable thesis.
As a result of Gatsby’s incessant lying, he was killed.
12. Claims answer the question...
HOW? WHY?
Running Thesis: As a result of Gatsby’s incessant lying, he was killed.
13. Student Examples
How? Why?
People should be responsible for their actions, even if
they’re unintentional.
It’s possible for most people to go from being
impoverished to wealthy in America.
