This newsletter discusses an upcoming spelling bee activity in the classroom. Older students from grades 5 and 6 will assist younger students for 3 weeks by listening to them read and helping with spelling difficult words. These words will be recorded in a book. After 3 weeks, a spelling bee will be held for students and parents to attend. Words in the spelling bee will come from books, spelling books, and words the students should know. The roles of students, teachers, and parents are outlined to help prepare for the spelling bee through practicing spelling words. Benefits of the spelling bee are discussed as helping to expand vocabulary and communication skills.
Most of the ELT classes in Venezuela have been teacher-centered, that is, teachers have not been providing the spark of learning to their students so that the process of learning can be led not only by teachers but also by students. Marva Collins, an american educator, said "Once children learn how to learn, nothing is going to narrow their mind. The essence of teaching is to make learning contagious, to have one idea spark another". In other words, a real super teacher must light the spark or fire of learning on his students, that is, teachers must be firestarters of learning. However, how can this be done? ELT is a diverse world where teachers’ creativity and dynamism are involved; of course, the level of these ones may vary depending on the teacher. Therefore, the general objective of this presentation is to demonstrate how teachers of English can engage their students in the learning of the language in a more motivational, inspiring and meaningful way through the use of Spelling Bee competitions. That is to say, students need to be engaged in what they are learning and Spelling Bee is one of the ways to reach this goal.

Abstract
This paper examines how literature can be used to teach vocabulary. It is based on experiences that were obtained on a practicum. 3 hours were spent in three different classrooms and analysis made on how the instructors facilitate the understanding of the students in the reading and the writing sessions. These observations were observed for both the mainstream and the minority language students.
Later, a specific grade was chosen from the Language Arts standards and 6 hours were then spent to develop and design a 5 day lesson plan on how to use literature to teach vocabulary. A single piece of text was then used during the entire 5 days teaching period. This paper therefore covers observations and analysis from 15-30 minutes mini-lessons that covers the various aspects of literacy teaching. These include Oral language and Vocabulary, Phonics, Word patterns, and Word analysis, Fluency, Reading Comprehension and Writing. This paper is therefore based on analysis, observations and corrections from my mentor teacher regarding teaching, management and engagement strategies in accordance to student learning.
Synopsis:Using literature to teach vocabulary
There are many responsibilities that come about in teaching language in school. In language a teacher must teach comprehension (understanding), reading, literature, grammar, writing and vocabulary. However, because of the tight schedule of events we often find that adequate teaching of vocabulary is denied its due time. This comes as a result of the many responsibilities that the teacher will often have to handle. Unlike in the Elizabethan times where mastery grasp of language was necessary, nowadays we find that most of the students are not interested in learning a new vocabulary simply because sophisticated language is not a priority in the society that they have been brought up. It is therefore necessary that language teachers device a method in which they can teach vocabulary. This paper is going to consider various ways in which vocabulary can be taught through literature.
One of the methods that can be used to teach literature is through the use of phonemic awareness. It can be described as the ability to percept, reason about, and work and operate the individual sounds in words. This method is great as it allows us to predict the ease or the difficulty that a student is experiencing when it comes to predicting of later reading success or difficulty. To enforce this skill I usually started with a definition to a vocabulary that is student friendly. I would at first engage the students in reading a single source of text which we used as our source of new words.
For some few minutes I would allow the students to lead discussions based on the reading. I observed that doing this created motivation to read and discuss within the students in the class. This scenario actually related to the input hypothesis by Horwitz(Horwitz, 2008). It makes the students to become really intereste.

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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.
