Cornell notes in the world language classroomAda Morley
This document discusses how Cornell notes, a note-taking method with a two-column format for notes and a summary section, can be used and adapted for world language classrooms. It recommends using Cornell notes for vocabulary and grammar lessons, adding practice activities to the notes, and having students speak the target language as they take and review their notes to improve language skills.
This document provides an overview of Unit 1 of a course on sense of place and visual rhetoric. The purpose of the unit is to ease students back into academic writing with a creative genre, consider how environments can be rhetorical, and use writing to express images, emotions, and thoughts. The major assignment is a sense of place essay demonstrating how a specific environment can have a rhetorical effect. Readings and assignments are designed to build skills for this, including writing journals, discussion posts, a process assignment on voice and style, and analyzing examples. Deadlines are provided for rough and final drafts of the essay.
Socrates was an ancient Greek philosopher who believed the best method of learning was through questioning rather than writing things down. A Socratic circle is a strategy where students engage in conversation around a topic to build understanding, deriving facts from each other's answers. While it can improve discussion and creative thinking, it risks going off topic or not reaching a factual conclusion.
This document provides guidance on designing effective classroom discussions. It outlines the benefits of discussion, such as exploring diverse perspectives and developing skills like clear communication. Key elements of discussion are identified, such as ensuring equal access to materials and establishing ground rules. Techniques for preparing students and beginning discussions are discussed, such as using prereading questions and starting with a student experience. The document also covers how to engage students and maintain discussion momentum through questioning, listening, and responding strategies.
Developing guiding questions is step 3 of the design process. Good guiding questions allow students to make connections to literary elements, universal themes, and the author's purpose. They should be open-ended without a single right answer, thought-provoking, lead to other questions, and require students to use their content knowledge multiple times to further dialogue and debate.
This document outlines a lesson plan for a gun control debate hosted on Edmodo. Students will research the issue independently and compile sources. They will be placed into groups to debate the topic and develop a consensus position. Each group will write an opening statement to post. During the debate, students will apply their research and argue their perspective. The teacher will judge the winners and provide feedback using a rubric. Finally, students will write a persuasive letter to the editor illustrating their opinion on the issue based on what they learned.
This document provides guidance on conducting effective round table discussions. It outlines that round tables are useful for learning, networking, and gaining different perspectives on a topic through in-depth discussion. Preparation includes selecting a topic, assigning roles, setting an agenda with time limits and sub-questions, and ensuring participants are well-informed. The moderator guides the discussion to engage participants, challenge ideas, and summarize conclusions. Participants should actively engage by sharing opinions and building on others' ideas to work toward appropriate solutions for all. Examples of 60 and 90 minute round table agendas are also provided.
This document outlines the process for conducting a debate in a classroom. It discusses selecting a relevant topic, dividing students into groups for and against the topic, choosing a moderator, collecting information, having the debate with arguments from both sides, and concluding with the moderator's views and teacher feedback. Debates develop students' argumentative and leadership skills but require interest from students and balancing groups.

The document describes several discussion formats that can be used in a classroom:
1. Roundtable discussions involve small groups discussing questions about a text. This allows students to practice using academic language.
2. Fishbowl discussions involve an inner and outer circle. A few students in the inner circle discuss an issue while the outer circle listens. Students can then rotate between the circles.
3. Panel discussions feature several experts discussing an issue and answering audience questions to increase understanding of different perspectives.
4. Discussion webs help students visualize key issues and opposing views by identifying pros and cons and drawing conclusions. This guides debates around a central question.
AVID is a program that prepares students for college readiness and success. It uses strategies like binders for organization, Cornell notes for note-taking, tutorials for collaborative study groups, philosophical chairs for discussion, and Socratic seminars. The presenters explain these AVID strategies and how teachers can implement them to benefit students of all abilities.
This lesson plan is for a 7th grade English class and focuses on teaching students how to participate in a panel discussion. The objectives are for students to discuss issues through a panel discussion process, perform a panel discussion, and actively participate in a group activity. Students will learn about panel discussions, including the roles of moderator and experts. They will then participate in a mock panel discussion where some students role play different stakeholders discussing the issue of poor garbage collection causing health problems in the community. Afterwards, students will evaluate each other's participation using a rating sheet and are assigned an essay explaining the importance of learning panel discussion skills.
Oral Histories Project for Language LearnersBrent Jones
In this presentation, we introduce a series of semester-long Oral Histories projects which are part of a content-focused EFL program at a private university in western Japan. This talk includes brief overviews of (1) Oral Histories, (2) our course outline, (3) weekly lesson plans, and (4) sample student work. Participants will go away with a general understanding of the theory (including rationale) and practice of Oral Histories for language learning programs, as well as several resources for pursuing their own Oral Histories projects.
This document outlines various methods for assessing student progress and achievement in language arts, including reading, writing, and oral communication. It provides examples of assessment tools and strategies for each area, such as reader responses, portfolios, checklists, tests, and observations. It also discusses using exemplars, developmental continua, and teacher moderation to evaluate student work. The focus is on measuring students' achievement of curriculum expectations in relation to content and performance standards.
This assignment asks students to write a 2.5-3 page descriptive essay exploring their sense of place about a location that holds significant meaning for them. Students must accompany their essay with a photograph representing the place and feelings conveyed in the essay. The essay should balance reflection and rhetorical description to show why the place evokes emotions. Students should adopt the persona of a professional blogger and follow blog conventions rather than MLA formatting. A rough draft and final draft are due by specified dates. The evaluation rubric focuses on use of senses, style and voice, clear theme, and mechanics.
The writing process provides structure for children and involves several steps. It begins with prewriting where children brainstorm ideas and organize their thoughts. They then write a rough draft without worrying about mechanics. Next, children edit their writing by sharing with classmates and getting feedback to clarify ideas. In revising, children improve their draft based on this input. Finally, they produce a final copy and publish their work. The process helps children learn writing skills sequentially like reading.
The document describes an experiment in teaching essay writing. It aimed to make the process of writing and grading essays more systematic and effective. The instructor broke the first essay assignment into four shorter assignments focusing on evidence, analysis, structure, and thesis statement. This made providing feedback easier and allowed students to build their essay incrementally. It led to less time spent grading, improved student papers, and a more useful rubric for assessment. However, revising the grading rubric and one assignment proved difficult. Overall, the instructor found the new approach led to better student writing and more organized feedback.
The document discusses what a group discussion is and provides guidance on how to participate effectively. A group discussion involves 8-12 members discussing a topic for 20-30 minutes, allowing observers to assess members' personality, communication skills, leadership abilities, and more. Key aspects addressed include having an extensive knowledge base, active listening, maintaining cordiality, making logical arguments supported by facts, maximizing participation, and showing consideration for other participants.
The document outlines 8 steps to prevent plagiarism in classes: 1) Define plagiarism and policies; 2) Guide the research process over time to prevent rushing; 3) Focus on the writing process with feedback; 4) Collect work throughout to track progress; 5) Require personal reflections; 6) Read all student papers; 7) Relate topics to class discussions; 8) Recommend writing center consultations for support. The overall strategy is to make students aware of policies, structure assignments over time, and provide feedback to support the writing process.
This presentation is about some activities that I tried in my classrooms and that provd to be a success. They met the main aims of the lesson which were involving learners, motivating them to take in the information presented, and leading them to use what they learned.
This document discusses research-supported reading strategies for English language learners. It describes pre-reading, during-reading, and post-reading strategies that teachers can use. Some example pre-reading strategies include predicting, brainstorming, and connecting text to students' lives. Example during-reading strategies include predicting, peer summaries, and creating questions. Post-reading strategies help students master vocabulary, reinforce comprehension, and include summarizing, reviewing, and questioning. The document provides examples of specific strategies teachers can implement at each stage of the reading process.
The document discusses various prewriting techniques for developing ideas and forming thesis statements for essays, including listing, questioning, and freewriting. It provides examples of each technique and encourages experimenting with different prewriting methods to see what works best. Key details include making lists of images, characters, main points, and quotations from readings; questioning texts using who, what, when, where, why, and how; and freewriting for 10-15 minutes without stopping to generate content and ideas.

It also includes a Brock lesson plan template and discusses writing tasks, decisions, and brainstorming ideas for Remembrance Day writing projects.
The document provides guidance for students to complete a scrapbook project on one of four topics. It outlines three parts to the task: selecting a topic and collecting materials; developing the scrapbook with an introduction, content, and conclusion sections; and presenting the scrapbook orally. Students will be assessed on their investigation, scrapbook, and oral presentation based on criteria including understanding, use of sources, writing ability, and presentation skills. Scores range from excellent to weak.
The document discusses curriculum and learning styles. It defines curriculum as the knowledge, skills, outcomes, modules, lessons, assignments, and assessments that make up a learning plan. It also describes the teaching and learning cycle, which comprises four stages: building context, reconstructing text, guided practice, and independent construction. Finally, it outlines three learning styles - visual, auditory, and kinesthetic - and strategies for supporting each type of learner. A short quiz with feedback is included at the end.
This document discusses extended writing across subject areas and provides resources to support its use. It explains that all teachers are responsible for developing students' literacy skills, and that better literacy leads to stronger academic performance overall. The document then describes a booklet with activities, word banks, and style guides for different writing forms and purposes to support extended writing. It concludes by offering assistance to other departments in incorporating more extended writing opportunities and developing additional resources.
The document discusses Socratic Circles, an instructional strategy where students engage in student-centered discussions about a text. It describes how Socratic Circles empower students by giving them ownership of discussions and allowing multiple perspectives to be shared. The document provides guidance on implementing Socratic Circles, including preparing students, selecting texts, guiding discussions, and assessing student participation and learning.
Prewriting is the first step in the traditional writing process and involves activities done before the first draft to generate and organize ideas. Some common prewriting techniques include listing, free writing, clustering, and cubing. Listing involves jotting down every idea about the topic without censoring. Free writing has the writer continuously write about the subject for 10-15 minutes without worrying about mechanics. Clustering maps out ideas that relate to the central topic through drawings of lines and circles. Cubing looks at a topic from six angles: describing, comparing, associating, analyzing, applying, and arguing. Prewriting helps writers explore different perspectives on their topic before beginning the first draft.
This document discusses effective note taking techniques. It outlines 5 common note taking methods: Cornell method, charting method, sentence method, outline method, and mapping method. Each method is described in 1-2 sentences. The document emphasizes that note taking improves memory and understanding by allowing students to review and reflect on key information. Taking good notes requires focusing on main ideas and concise writing while leaving out unnecessary details.
This document discusses the problems associated with processed sugar consumption. It notes that the average American consumes over 20 pounds of sugar per year beyond their body weight, which can damage vital organs. Processed foods contribute to high dental costs, and sugar provides empty calories without nutrients. While sugar was historically important for energy storage, constant access to sugary foods today is problematic and has created a hormone response that encourages overconsumption.
The document describes several discussion formats that can be used in a classroom:

The document summarizes key aspects of the digestive system. It discusses three main functions:
1. Digestion - The breakdown of food into smaller molecules through mechanical and chemical processes in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine. Enzymes in saliva and gastric juice aid in digestion.
2. Absorption - Nutrients are absorbed through the walls of the small intestine, especially in structures called villi, and passed into the bloodstream.
3. Elimination - Undigested wastes are passed through the large intestine, rectum and anus and excreted from the body.
There are many different types of sugar that vary in terms of color, texture, crystal size, and flavor. The main types are white sugars like granulated, superfine, powdered, and fruit sugars which differ in crystal size and how quickly they dissolve. Brown sugars include light and dark brown sugar, demerara, and muscovado sugars which contain varying amounts of molasses. Other specialty sugars include raw sugars, liquid sugars, invert sugars, and sugars used mainly by bakers and confectioners. Each type of sugar has distinct properties that make it suitable for different culinary uses.
The Disturbing Truth- Milk, Sugar and ChocolatesIrfan iftekhar
Most TV channels and media houses havetight deadlines and limited understanding which sometimes make it difficult to provide a thorough report. Hungry for the latest news, the media often report scientific findings prematurely, without benefit of careful interpretation, replication, and peer review. Usually, the reports present findings from a single, recently released study, making the news current and controversial. Consequently, the public receives diet and health news quickly, but not always in perspective. Reporters may twist in conclusive findings into "meaningful discoveries" because writing catchy headlines and sensational stories have become a norm today.
As a result, "surprising new findings" seem to contradict one another, and consumers feel frustrated and betrayed. Occasionally, the reports are downright false, but more often the apparent contradictions are simply the normal result of science at work. A single study contributes to the big picture, but when viewed alone, it can easily distort the image. To be meaningful, the conclusions of any study must be presented cautiously within the context of other research findings.
1. Sugarcane and sugar beets are the primary sources of sugar.
2. There are three main types of sugar - white, brown, and liquid. White sugar is further divided into various grades based on crystal size. Brown sugars contain varying amounts of molasses. Liquid sugars include invert sugar, syrups, and molasses.
3. Sugar provides calories but has few nutrients. Sugar has 398 Kcal, 12mg calcium and 0.5mg iron per 100g.
This document discusses various note making techniques and strategies. It begins with an in-class activity where students are split into groups. Then it outlines the objectives and learning outcomes of learning effective note making techniques. Various note making methods are described such as the Cornell method, outlining, charting, sentence method and mind mapping. Students then participate in individual and group activities where they apply these note making strategies, identify their learning styles, develop notes from materials and create an instructional video. The goal is to help students discover their preferred note making method and apply it effectively.

Flip your classroom tech in elt-challenges and remediesEric H. Roth
The document discusses using "search and share" homework assignments to flip English language learning classrooms, where students find and present authentic materials to develop their speaking skills outside of class. It explains how this approach allows students to spend more time practicing English and encourages more active participation compared to traditional lectures. The document argues that "search and share" assignments can help address challenges for English language learners by making classes more engaging while building fluency.
The document describes the development of a microteaching program for librarians at Ohio University Libraries. It details how the program began with discussions around establishing a learning-centered teaching community. This led to a workshop called "Learning to Teach, Teaching to Learn" which provided training in course design and delivering library sessions. The workshop included opportunities for participants to present lesson segments to peers and receive feedback.

Here are some recommendations the committee could make to further nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament:
1. Urge all states that possess nuclear weapons to decrease their stockpiles in accordance with their obligations under Article VI of the NPT, with the ultimate goal of total elimination of nuclear weapons.
2. Encourage states to establish additional nuclear-weapon-free zones, especially in regions like the Middle East that currently do not have any treaties.
3. Call on all states, especially those not party to the NPT, to accept comprehensive International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards on all their nuclear activities and sign an Additional Protocol.
4. Request that the P5 states take further unilateral measures to reduce the
This document provides an overview of a science lesson that will use an online simulation to help students understand energy conversion in a pendulum. Students will observe how the potential and kinetic energy of a swinging pendulum change over time, identify where each is maximized, interpret a graph of the energies, and calculate different energies and velocities of a pendulum based on its height. Key vocabulary and homework are also outlined.
To study for a science quiz, it is important to understand different types of science questions like knowledge, comprehension, analysis and synthesis. Key concepts to review include physical and chemical changes, states of matter, phase changes, and temperature-time graphs. Physical changes like boiling, melting, freezing and evaporation involve a change of state without a new substance forming. A pressure cooker allows food to cook faster by trapping steam and raising the boiling point of water inside.
This document provides study tips and information for preparing for a science lab test. It recommends practicing with lab tools and making graphs using data tables. Key science words and previous lab reports should be reviewed. Other study aids include online quizzing resources and creating your own practice quizzes. Key concepts covered include chemical and physical changes, endothermic and exothermic reactions, and the law of conservation of mass. Examples are given for each concept.
The document provides a to-do list for October 12th which includes getting a laptop, signing into GoogleDrive, and checking a planner.

Finally, there are instructions to edit paragraphs by highlighting transition words, verbs, and reorganizing sentences.
The document provides guidance on writing a policy statement, including its key parts and how to organize them into paragraphs. It discusses the five parts of a policy statement: defining the issue, summarizing recent international actions, referring to key documents, stating the country's position, and making suggestions. It recommends organizing these parts into three paragraphs that provide background on the issue, the country's stance, and an action plan. Examples of paragraphs are provided and evaluated based on idea development and word choice.
This document provides guidance on preparing for a UN quiz by writing different levels of questions. It explains the four levels of questions: knowledge, comprehension, analysis, and synthesis. Knowledge questions have short, factual answers while comprehension questions require a couple sentences of explanation. Analysis and synthesis questions have no correct answers and require opinions supported by evidence or logical thought. The document provides examples of questions for each level and instructs the reader to write their own questions and answers on a separate sheet.
This document discusses advertising and logos. It provides examples of logos that contain hidden symbols and messages. Effective logos appeal to audiences in subtle ways. The document also examines slogans and the rhetorical techniques used in advertisements to target audiences. Developing logos and slogans that encapsulate a brand's values is an important part of advertising design.
This document defines various techniques used in advertising, including:
- Avante Garde, Bandwagon, Card Stacking, Emotional Word Repetition, Glittering Generalities, Jingle, Plain Folks, Simple Solutions, Slogan, Snob Appeal, Target Audience, Testimonial, Transfer, Weasel Words, and Wit and Humor.
It provides examples for many of the techniques and discusses how advertisers aim to attract consumers by exploiting emotions, popularity, credibility and associations with desirable things. The document also discusses common traits of famous advertising slogans and defines demographics used to identify target audiences.
Propaganda techniques commonly used to influence people include: testimonials, bandwagon, card stacking, glittering generalities, plain folks, name calling, transfer, simplification/stereotyping, assertion, lesser of two evils, and pinpointing the enemy. These techniques are employed to make people want to follow the crowd, omit contrary information, appeal to positive concepts, convince people the views are common, use negative labels, transfer feelings between objects, reduce complex issues, state things as facts without evidence, present the least bad option, and identify enemies.
This document provides information about studying for a science lab test. It discusses key concepts to review like the properties of matter, how to study lab tools and techniques, and definitions of important science terms. Specific advice includes practicing with lab tools, making graphs, memorizing definitions, using online quizzing resources, and having peers quiz you. Some example review topics are chemical and physical changes, endothermic and exothermic reactions, the law of conservation of mass, phase changes, and the water cycle.
The document provides guidance on paraphrasing versus plagiarism. It defines paraphrasing as restating a passage from a source in one's own words while still attributing the idea to the original source. The document outlines best practices for taking effective notes that minimize direct quotations and copying of source material in order to reduce plagiarism. It also contrasts paraphrasing with related skills like summarizing and quoting source material.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
