Solange taught her 6th grade class about places in the neighborhood. She reviewed vocabulary from the previous lesson and introduced new vocabulary for shops, buildings, and facilities. Students worked in groups to write sentences about what is and is not in their neighborhood. They enjoyed the activity and were engaged. Solange demonstrated good classroom management, rapport with students, and use of English and Spanish. She monitored students, encouraged interaction and different grouping. It was a meaningful lesson that students could relate to. Solange and her pedagogical partner Angela worked well together to plan and provide interesting classes.
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

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.

PRACTICE II, DIDACTICS OF ELT and Practicum Primary School level. Adjunto Regular
a/c Prof. Estela N. Braun (2018). Teacher Assistant: Prof. Vanesa Cabral.
REGISTER:
TRAINEE TEACHER: Solange Cortese
SCHOOL: Escuela 92- 6th year
MENTOR TEACHER: Prof. Vanesa Toro
DATE: November, 6th
Lesson plan: Intercultural project
Teacher educator: Vanesa Cabral
Description of the class:
There are fourteen students, they are sat in a U-shape seating arrangement. Solange
greets all of them and tells them that this is their last class. All of them express their
sadness.
She asks for collaboration and cooperation to have a nice class.
She starts with their class routine. One volunteer comes to the front and chooses the
correct words to express the weather and the date. They use a nice board with colourful
pieces of cardboard.
She asks them if they remember what they have seen last class. All of themanswer: “las
partes del barrio”. Suggestion: repeat the same idea in English after them “yes, very
good! The shops/public buildings in our neighbourhood”.
Then, she invites them to activate prior knowledge. She asks them to repeat the
vocabulary in English and to say its meaning.
Meanwhile, she sticks the pictures on the board. Beautiful flashcards.
2. 2
Then, she asks the whole group: can you tell me how we say “hay “ en Inglés?
Suggestion: say “in English?”
Students: “There is”
Solange: ”Ok , and there are”.
Solange writes on the board the affirmative and negative form of there is and there are.
She interacts with the whole group. They answer altogether.
Solange asks a question: “¿Qué lehace faltaa nuestro barrio para mejorar?” Suggestion:
ask the question in English first, and then, if you consider that they did not understand,
say it in Spanish.
They answer in Spanish: “Que no haya desbordes cloacales” one student says.
As regards buildings? Solange answers…Suggestion: although this answer was not the
one you expected, you could have highlighted the importance of this statement for the
improvement of the neighbourhood becauseit had correspondence with your question.
They answer in Spanish and Solange says this vocabulary in English: a toy shop, a
restaurant, a hotel, asphalted streets, a bank, a hospital, a secondary school, a
drugstore, “que haya chinos” a student says (she meant ”a supermarket”), a softball
field, a rugby pitch…
Solange writes all these words on the board for the next activity they are going to do.
She explains the following activity, she says: “We are going to work in groups”.
“De a cuántos? “ a student asks. “De los que uds. quieran” She answers. Suggestion: it
is always advisable to establish a number of students… no more than three, between 3
or 5, no more than 5…etc.
Solange and Angela deliver some colour papers, and Solange gives the instructions:
“Divide the paper into two parts. And write the title ´my community´”
I observe that the information copied on the board is very organised. Solange took my
piece of advice from the previous observation. Everything was legible and well
organised.
3. 3
She gives examples: “there is a public infirmary”. You have to write about all the places
that there are in our neighbourhood.
On the other side of the cardboard, you have to write about the places that there aren´t
for example: “there isn´t a bank”.
The students work in pairs, they are enthusiastic, and they enjoy writing the sentences
in groups. There is one student who stays alone because his classmate has to leave (the
bus driver is waiting for him outside), so the mentor teacher sits with him and guides
him with some oral questions. The student writes without difficulty.
She interrupts them and says that she is going to say something important: “Please,
complete the survey, you can answer it in Spanish”. She reads the questions in English
and translates them into Spanish..
The bell rings. She gives some souvenirs to all of them (candies and a nice pen). They are
very happy, and they all thank her for this present.
To sum up and mention all the good points:
Solange has developed a clear teacher´s stance. She has a good rapport with all the
students, and she has classroom management skills. She could control the group quite
well although they were a bit talkative.
She gaveclearinstructions and she gaveexamples of the activities that she wanted them
to do. Excellent! She had different roles along the lesson: facilitator, controller and
prompter.
She used English all the class and Spanish when it was necessary, although some
suggestions are given before.
She monitored their performance while they were working.
She made them practice oral and written skills. She developed a communicative
approach.
They could learn new words related to places in a city.
4. 4
They worked in a class group and in small groups too. Some of them worked in pairs. So
she promoted different ways of grouping. She promoted different ways of interaction,
what helps them develop social and cognitive strategies.
They were engaged with the activity and they enjoyed working with this topic. I think
that they felt absolutely identified and happy to be working with a project related to
their context.
It was a very meaningful activity.
Pedagogical partner:
Angela worked collaboratively with Solange. She helped her with all the activities and to
monitor the students´ performance too. She was on the alert of each group´s needs.
They could form a good team. They did not overlap, they respected each other´s space
and role. They have worked very hard to provide nice and interesting classes to these
groups and they have also prepared a lot of nice material to develop the didactic
sequence.
Final grade: 10 (ten)
Questions to reflect:
Do you agree that a good teacher is fundamental in this school (a boarding school in a
vulnerable context)?.Why is it important to be a good teacher here? What does it
mean/imply to be a good teacher?
