The film follows a 15-year-old girl named Ivy who was abducted as a baby and has been kept isolated in a house her whole life by her mentally ill abductor, who she believes is her mother. Ivy becomes curious about the outside world when her abductor leaves each day. When Ivy ventures outside, she is in awe of the world but also vulnerable, as she has never seen things like other people and animals before. She slowly discovers the truth about her abnormal upbringing.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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

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.

2. Our genre is a kidnap drama. These tend to involve dark rooms,
old creepy men,
young girls and images of being tied up. However,
we
have decided to do
a different approach as the character
in our film does not
know that she is living an
abnormal life.
We have been influenced by the films 'Room' and
'Everything Everything' which also include ideas of experiencing the
real world for the first time.
Our film ideas:
Girl had been abducted by mentally ill woman when she was a baby.
The woman couldn’t have children and wanted a child. She keeps the girl inside her whole life and has built up an idea of a secluded life where the girl believes her and her mum are the
only two people alive.
The mum leaves each day which causes the girl to become curious.
When the girl goes outside she is in awe of the world around her, however she is extremely vulnerable due to her never seeing things before such as men and animals.
She slowly discovers the real world, and uncovers the truth about her life.
Brief Overview
3. Key Characters
Psychotic woman/ Mother:
- Late 40s
- She has a mental illness due to a lonely life and being unable to have children.
- She seeks to have children of her own and takes the most drastic actions by abducting a
child.
Girl; Ivy – woman doesn't give a surname. (Real name is Emma Martin).
- She is 15 years old
- Quite loud and confident as she has no one to impress.
- This confidence alters when she goes outside as she has now become vulnerable and has
never spoken to other people before.
- She is enjoys art, music, playing board games
Woman that befriends Ivy
- Female
- Late 20s
- She is empathetic
4. Promotional Campaign
Brand identity:
- Colour scheme of shades of blue with white writing.
- The dark blues indicate Ivy being trapped inside, the light blues indicate her escaping and discovering
the bright world.
- Writing will be a basic font to represent the simplicity of her life.
- Protagonist is shown.
We will emphasize the idea of this amazing world that is being seen for the first time in our marketing
campaign.
; she sees the world in a different perspective to other people;
We will do this by contrasting colours and object.
5. Teaser ideas
Montage editing
Pace change at beginning, middle and end.
Key Events:
Ivy and 'Mum' happy in the house; playing, etc.; this is all fairly slow paced, gentle music and seems like
a normal setting.
Hints at abnormality when 'mum' looks at watch and locks girl in room before leaving the house.
Questions asked to 'mum' as voiceovers ; 'where do you go?' 'what is it like?', etc.
Sees world through gap.
Pace picks up; lots of short clips and more intense music; when Ivy sees the world for the first time
through a gap she makes in the wall.
6. Poster Ideas
No 1.
Close up of half the face.
Reflection of door in eye.
Looking at posters
Colours of blue used to keep up brand identity.
We will show the genre by using high key lighting contrasted with low key
Lighting. This will depict the characters life on the inside of the house, contrasted
to her life on the outside.
We will include objects and people that look normal as dramas use realism.
The expressions on the characters faces on the poster will be serious; straight
faced, eyes looking off, etc.
No 2.
• Background is the outside world; trees,
blue sky.
• Black slightly transparent key whole or
black area taking up majority of the space.
• Protagonist coming out of the key hole
looking around.
7. Target Audience
Our main target audience our 15-40 year old women; younger girls
can relate with the age of the character. Older women can relate with
being a parent.
People who like:
dramas
to go on an emotional rollercoaster as
an element of mystery.
