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.
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.

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.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

7. Unit 1
Your Body
Your body has parts that help you do things. You see
beautiful places through your eyes. You hear sounds because of
your ears. You smell the scent of flowers in your garden because
of your nose. You can taste food because of your tongue. You can
feel your pillow because it touches your skin.
You should take good care of your body. One way to keep
your body strong and healthy is to eat the right kind and amount
of food.
8. Chapter 1
Your Senses
Your sense organs help you collect information about the
things in your surroundings. They send all these information to
your brain. Without your sense organs, you will not be able to see,
hear, smell, taste, and feel anything.
Lesson 1
The Things around You
Find Out
1. What are your sense organs?
2. Where do sense organs send all
the information they get from the
surroundings?
One sunny Saturday afternoon, Gino
and Lea went
to the park. As
they were walking, they felt the rough
pebbles underneath their shoes.
“Oh, my! It’s so hot today!” Gino
cried out.
“Tweet! Tweet! Tweet!” Lea and
Gino heard the birds singing. They ran
to the trees where the birds were. But
the birds quickly flew away.
Smart Science 2
9. As they continued to walk, Gino and Lea suddenly felt thirsty
and hungry. They decided to go to Nina’s house.
When they were nearing Nina’s house, they smelled
something. “Hmmm! I smell sopas,” Gino said.
“I smell banana cue,” Lea added.
“Yum . . . yum . . . yum . . .
This sopas is delicious!” Gino
said as he sipped it. “This
banana cue also tastes great!”
Lea said.
Do you know what makes
you see, hear, smell, taste, and
feel? Your body has sense organs that collect information about
what you see, hear, smell, taste, and feel. These sense organs
send the information to your brain. Your brain
then tells you what you have seen, smelled,
tasted, heard, and felt.
You can tell how objects look
by their colors, sizes, or shapes
using your eyes.
You can describe and
know objects by their smell
using your nose.
Your Body
10. You can also describe and know
objects by the sounds they make using
your ears.
You can describe the objects
by their taste using your tongue.
These tastes can be sweet, bitter,
sour, salty, or umami.
You can describe and
know objects by touching
them. You can feel smooth
and rough objects using
your skin.
Smart Science 2
11. Explore
Sense It!
1. There are five small boxes on
the table. The boxes labeled
A, B, C, D, and E contain one
object each.
2. Pick out the object from Box A. What is the object?
Describe it using your eyes.
3. Shake Box B. What do you
hear? Guess what the object is.
4. Smell Box C. What is the object
inside it?
Note: If you are asthmatic, skip this
step.
5. Get a partner and let him
or her blindfold you. Your
partner will pick an object
from Box D and will let you
taste it. What does it taste
like? What is the object?
Your Body
12. 6. Touch the object inside Box E. Is the object smooth or
rough? What is the object?
7. Which sense organ did you use to identify the object in
each box?
Box Sense Organ
A
B
C
D
E
Keep in Mind
Your sense organs gather information from your surroundings
which they send to your brain. Without them, you cannot see,
hear, smell, taste, and feel anything.

each using the table below. Name the sense organs you used to
describe each object.
