Nawal Shams Poetry in song
The document is a song by Avril Lavigne called "Innocence" that describes waking up feeling okay and thinking about little things that make life great. The singer hopes this feeling of innocence and perfect moment will stay and not pass by as it is a state of bliss and happiness inside that makes you want to cry.
sample
Mom's 55th birthday is being celebrated with congratulations for her life so far including where she came from in the past, where she currently is in life, and optimism for where her future journeys may lead.

The document discusses various continuous verb forms:
1) The present continuous is used for unfinished actions now or future arrangements. The past continuous is used for unfinished past actions or duration.
2) The future continuous expresses unfinished future actions. The future perfect continuous expresses actions that will reach a stage of completion.
3) The past perfect continuous expresses something that started and continued in the past until another time. The present perfect continuous expresses something that started in the past and continues now.
Stereotypes - Age representation
Age can be defined as the length of time a person or thing has existed. There are different age groups such as babies/toddlers, primary school children, teenagers, young adults, middle aged, and older adults. Stereotypes about different ages can be positive or negative. Younger people are sometimes seen as energetic while older people are seen as wise, though both groups are also subject to negative stereotypes. The Eastenders clip represents age through costume, setting, color, and sound design. Patrick's vibrant costume makes him stand out as the elder sharing a story from his past to an interested family.
Stereotypes of women
The document outlines stereotypical characteristics associated with different types of women, including dumb blondes seen as stupid and naïve, working women as strong and independent but mean, mothers as caring and family-oriented, teenage girls as moody and focused on appearance and popularity, and old women as grumpy, experienced, and having aches and pains.
Word stress
The document discusses rules of thumb for word stress in English. It explains that stress is louder volume and longer vowel sounds on certain syllables that can change a word's meaning. For two-syllable words, stress is usually on the first syllable whether it is a noun or adjective. Three-syllable words usually stress the first. Compound nouns stress the first part, while compound adjectives and verbs stress the second part. There are also rules for words ending in suffixes like -ic, -tion, -cy, and -al, which typically stress the syllable before the last one or two.
Stereotypes
Stereotypes are generalized assumptions about groups of people. This document discusses common stereotypes of single mothers, "chavs", nerds, Americans, and Italians through analyzing various images. Stereotypes can be both positive and negative, providing simplistic views of complex groups of people.

What stereotypes are found in television and films
This document discusses stereotypes presented in various forms of media, particularly related to gender. Several studies are referenced that analyzed Disney films and found predominantly negative stereotypes of female characters, portraying them as dependent, focused on appearance, and lacking power or important roles. Meanwhile, male characters tended to be depicted as strong heroes. Some positive examples were identified, like Pocahontas, though improvements could still be made. The media was found to potentially influence children's perceptions of gender, body image, race and other groups. While children may not consciously recognize stereotypes, they could shape their views and life goals. Overall, the document presents an analysis of common stereotypes in media and their possible effects on audiences.
Stereotypes about men and women by dave barry
This document discusses stereotyping and provides examples of common stereotypes about gender. It describes how stereotyping can categorize groups of people and potentially lead to discrimination if misunderstood. The document then examines stereotypes about men and women, suggesting men are less emotional and concerned with special dates while women are more emotional and think about the future of relationships. It analyzes a story about a couple to illustrate differences in how men and women think and feel.
Gender, race, and sexuality in advertising
Gender, race, and sexuality are directly linked to advertising. Marketing has found that using explicit sexuality sells products by sexualizing both men and women in magazines. While controversy can bring attention to brands, advertisements are moving towards being more inclusive of gender, celebrating diversity, and depicting minorities in a wider range of everyday roles instead of only subservient positions. Going forward, all advertising will inherently be multicultural.
Women In Advertisement
Women in advertisements from 1950-2010 have increasingly portrayed unrealistic standards of beauty. In the 1950s, television was emerging and ads told women they were not good enough without products. By the 1960s, the average model weight was 91% of population norms. The women's liberation movement in the 1970s prompted adjustments but ads still targeted women with "slim" cigarettes. By the 1980s, model weight was 62% of norms. Today, the average woman sees 400-600 ads per day promoting beauty as an ideal, despite being based on lies and digital manipulation.
Gender Advertising presentation
Advertisements shape ideas about gender roles and expectations in society. They promote stereotypes of masculinity and femininity that influence how men and women see themselves and each other. For example, male ads often depict men as strong, powerful, and successful in their careers. Female ads commonly portray women as focused on beauty, fitness, and domestic tasks. These stereotypes are intentionally used by advertisers to target consumers and sell products, but they also deepen preexisting gender stereotypes in culture. While some ads are directed at only one gender, others may use the opposite gender to attract buyers. Overall, ads characterize men as responsible and women as defined by their physical appearance.
Crime vocabulary
This document discusses elements of the criminal justice system including police officers investigating a crime, a judge and jury determining guilt or innocence, witnesses providing testimony, a thief committing a crime, weapons potentially used, forensics experts analyzing evidence, and a car accident with a victim.
Solar system
Our solar system consists of the Sun and everything that orbits it, including eight planets, their moons, asteroids, and comets. The inner planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are rocky, while the outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are gas giants. Earth stands alone as the only known planet capable of supporting life. The solar system also contains dwarf planet Pluto and countless smaller bodies like asteroids and short-period comets.
Natural Disasters
Pictures and vocabulary to show different types of natural disaster, leading to lexis relating to a National Geographic clip about volcanoes.
Television debates
Discussion prompt using controversial questions, encouraging students to play Devil's Advocate. Great for intermediate and above.
Manners & etiquette
The document provides etiquette and customs advice for visitors to England. It discusses appropriate greetings, terms of endearment used regionally, gift-giving customs, dining etiquette like eating with utensils and not putting elbows on the table, the importance of punctuality for social events, and polite behaviors like queueing, saying "please" and "thank you", and covering coughs and yawns. Visitors are advised not to put knives in their mouths, start eating before all are served, talk with food in their mouth, or blow noses on napkins at meals.
Present perfect continuous
The document discusses the present perfect progressive tense, which is used to talk about actions or states that began in the past and are still continuing. It provides the example "Jane has been working at the bank since 2009" to illustrate how the present perfect progressive tense emphasizes the duration of an action that started in the past and is still ongoing.
CLIL: Biology; blood cells.
Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body and live for about 120 days. White blood cells help fight infection as part of the immune system. Platelets help the blood clot. Blood is made up of plasma, which allows cells to move, and four main cell types - red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart while veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Capillaries are where gas exchange occurs between blood and tissues. The immune system responds to infections through a coordinated response between white blood cells and antibodies.
