Adjectivephrases
The document discusses reducing adjective clauses to adjective phrases under certain conditions. It provides 4 ways that an adjective clause can be changed: 1) removing the relative pronoun and verb if the clause uses a present or past participle, 2) sometimes changing the verb to "-ing" form if there is no verb "to be", 3) if the clause follows a prepositional phrase, and 4) if the clause follows a noun phrase in a non-identifying clause. It also notes that non-essential adjective phrases require commas, just like non-essential adjective clauses.
Chpt 16: Relative Clauses
The document defines and provides examples of relative clauses and relative pronouns. Relative clauses are descriptive clauses that modify nouns. They are introduced by relative pronouns which connect the relative clause to the noun or antecedent in the main clause.

Examples are provided and analyzed to demonstrate identifying the antecedent, relative pronoun, and determining the correct form based on agreement.

Reducedadjectiveclauses
Adjective clauses can be reduced to adjective phrases if they contain a subject pronoun and no object pronoun. There are three ways this is done: 1) by removing the relative pronoun and verb from a clause using a form of "be"; 2) by changing the verb to the -ing form; or 3) by following the relative pronoun and verb with a prepositional phrase. Non-essential clauses remain non-essential when reduced to phrases and still require commas.

Expository Writing
The document provides instructions for writing an expository essay on how to live a happy life. It outlines 8 steps: 1) read the prompt, 2) state the purpose, 3) complete a graphic organizer with 3 reasons and details, 4) add transitions between paragraphs, 5) write paragraphs from the organizer, 6) add descriptive vocabulary, 7) use metaphors and similes, and 8) reread the work. The goal is to agree with Lincoln that happiness comes from one's mindset and provide 3 suggestions for finding happiness through unselfishness, not materialism, and serving others.
Primary and Secondary Sources
Primary sources are original accounts and documents created during or soon after an event by direct participants or observers, such as diaries, letters, speeches, interviews, photographs, audio/video recordings. Secondary sources interpret and analyze primary sources, including textbooks, encyclopedias, books, and articles that interpret history. Historians use both primary and secondary sources, with primary sources providing direct evidence and secondary sources helping to place primary sources into context.
The Cube Personality Test Questions
The document provides a series of prompts to describe different objects that are not present: a cube, ladder, horse, storm, and flowers. The prompts ask the reader to imagine each object's characteristics such as size, color, location, and relationship to other objects. By describing imaginary objects and scenes, the prompts appear aimed at understanding the test taker's personality or thought processes.
Sentence Structure Using a Bike Metaphor
The document discusses using a bicycle as a metaphor to teach students about sentence structure. It explains that a sentence needs two parts - a subject wheel and a predicate wheel - to form a complete thought. Additional details can be added to these wheels through adjectives, adverbs, and prepositional phrases. Dependent clauses and phrases act as "baskets" that attach to the sentence "bike" for support. This concrete approach helps students understand the core elements and variety of sentences.
Narrative Writing
Here are descriptions of the actions using strong verbs:
- The man furiously pounded his foot against the door, trying to break it down.
- The lion stealthily crept through the grass, silently stalking its prey.
- The rabbit vigorously dug its paws into the dirt, rapidly tossing soil behind it as it burrowed a hole.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
