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.

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.

3. Internet/Search engines
I was first introduced to the Virgin Media short, Rocket, when I was still unsure of what I
wanted to make for my short film.
However after watching the short I realized that I was also capable of doing something
similar (to a certain degree).
This was one of the only films, that were similar enough to match the brief that we had been
given, that I ended up finding.
Unfortunately after doing some research, I was unable to find any articles/interviews with
Jennifer Sheridan, the creator of the short film, where she talked about the filmmaking
process e.g., how she came up with the idea and executed it, how she was able to get her
dog to behave whilst filming simultaneously (since I thought that this would be important to
my own project because I wasn’t sure if I would be able to do the same with my own dog).
It was difficult to find much information about the short film (I had to
filter the search engine by using specific words overwise nothing
would come up). I think that this is because it was from such as long
time ago compared to now (almost 10 years exactly) and since I had
already come up with an idea similar to premise of this already
existing short film, I was unable to find anything similar to evaluate.
4. A Man & His Dogs (Documentary) + Others
(Info taken from: 6 Great Dog Documentaries to Watch on Netflix - Puppy Leaks )
This is a two episode documentary on Netflix hosted by comedian and director Martin Clunes who looks to discover and
analyse the relationships between man and dog.
The documentary is unfortunately no longer on Netflix so I had to rely on clips from YouTube for this bit of research.
This documentary focuses on the relationship between dogs and their owners.
It shows us the behaviour of dogs and how that can be effected depending on their owner.
There are a number of shows related to dogs that also feature dogs in training (e.g., Crufts).
Crufts is a sort of talent show for dogs where owners and their dogs are tested to see how well behaved and trained they
are.
Comparing my dog to the ones seen of Crufts, my dog is not very well behaved and/or trained.
This could be a potential issue during filming since I may not be able to make him stay in a certain position e.g., there is a
scene in the film where I will need him to stay sitting down by the back door in my kitchen.
However I realized that one of the only ways to get my dog (and most dogs in general) to behave and/or get their
attention is to use treats.
This means that during the filming process I will need to make sure I have something to keep my dog in position or
distracted for long enough for me to finish my filming.
5. Personal Experience + What I intend to do
I do not have any personal experience with filming with dogs or even making any
form of product based around dogs in general.
The idea of creating my short film based around my dog was pitched to me during our
last day of brainstorming for ideas (since I couldn’t think of an idea that would 1. fit
the brief that we had been given and 2. was interesting enough for me to want to
create it).
I think that in the end the idea I have come up with is simplistic but matches well with
the brief (since no dialogue is allowed having a dog as my main actor means that I
don’t have to worry about dialogue or writing a full fledged script).
I intend to film my short film during the days we had been given (between 21st – 29th
March I believe). However since, during my time outside of college, I also have a part-
time job it means that I won’t be available on weekends (on weekends I would only
be available during the evening but since I want my short film to be shot during the
day it means that I have to do the filming during the weekday instead).
Since I have already finished writing my script, I am now able to focus on the planning
phase of my short film e.g., creating a filming schedule, finishing any other written
theory work.
8. INTERVIEW 1
Question 1: What do you think of short films in general? Do you like or dislike them? What sort of themes/genres
would you want to see?
Answer: I do like short films quite a bit. I don’t watch films too often since I don’t usually have spare time to watch a
2 to 3 hour film so short films are a lot better for me. I don’t really have a specific theme or genre that I like but
would prefer to watch a comedy or something light hearted over something serious like a documentary.
Question 2: What do you think about dogs in film? Do you enjoy films that feature dogs?
Answer: I enjoy watching dogs in film. They end up making films a lot more enjoyable since I love dogs in general.
Question 3: What do you think about a film that is about a dog or centred around a dog trying to do something?
Answer: I think that it’s a good idea. As I said before having a dog in a film makes it more enjoyable because you
don’t have to worry about things like bad acting or odd narratives.
9. INTERVIEW 2
Question 1: What do you think of short films in general? Do you like or dislike them? What sort of themes/genres
would you want to see?
Answer: I like any type of film to be honest. However I wouldn’t go out of my way to watch a short film specifically.
Question 2: What do you think about dogs in film? Do you enjoy films that feature dogs?
Answer: I think dogs can add more humour to films and improve the film in general.
Question 3: What do you think about a film that is about a dog or centred around a dog trying to do something?
Answer: I like the idea of a film being centred around a dog since you don’t see them so often in cinemas.
10. INTERVIEW 3
Question 1: What do you think of short films in general? Do you like or dislike them? What sort of themes/genres
would you want to see?
Answer: I wouldn’t go out of my way to see a short film to be honest however I don’t exactly dislike them.
Depending on what the film was about I would consider watching one.
Question 2: What do you think about dogs in film? Do you enjoy films that feature dogs?
Answer: I liked A Dog’s Purpose and A Dog’s Journey, I thought that they both had a heart-warming message.
Question 3: What do you think about a film that is about a dog or centred around a dog trying to do something?
Answer: As I said before I liked films around dogs with a heart-warming message compared to depressing films.
