Using the theme of Interdependence, students can discover an interactive way of getting familiar with the ideas and vocabulary from Annie Leonard's "The Story of Stuff".
"If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity", said John F. Kennedy. Presenting one's cultural identity reinforces recognition of the sheer diversity of individuals and their groups. Strikingly, even where cultural identity structures are similar, cultural identity mapping can—and usually does—reveal different individual interpretations of where, how, and to what degree a group's culture is represented in the self. Awareness raising and more effort can build intergroup understanding in organizations.
We want to improve intercultural communication to develop relationships with diverse customers, partners and employees. But what are the main obstacles? It may not be the obvious ones! Learn how to recognize and remove this unconscious barrier to intercultural communication.
Irwin Altman and Dalmas Taylor explain how close relationships develop through self-disclosure. They also introduced the onion metaphor to explain one's personality structure.

CYCLES Course (4): Communication and CheckBryan Cassady
If you’re looking to build bigger and better ideas, you need to get feedback.
To get effective feedback you need to be able to explain your ideas clearly, really listen (listening is not just hearing!), slow down to make sure you are on the right path and most importantly be ready to kill bad ideas.
Deliverable: Do people understand the idea, what do they think of the idea, are we making progress. If there is no good hope of progress, kill the idea

Why These Misconceptions About Organic Food?Ayur Egg
People are very much confused when it comes to term 'organic food', what is and what is not 'organic'. If we choose to eat organic, it is our duty to do a research on it. These are the main 'organic food' misconceptions.
Take a moment and self evaluate, "how much of this reflects me as a teacher, trainer or parent?" This was a PPT I completed with some classmates back in Teacher's College at Lakehead. Been awhile since I have seen or heard from anyone, but we had some pretty great professors and mentors there. I don't know how I will really incoporate this into my own practices anymore, but sharing before deleting.
The Amazing Spider-Man #1 Reading and Understanding.C B
ESL and English Students can display their ability to read and understand various types of literature, published as well are the texts and handouts, see next uploads. This is an in class activity through the use of the real #1 issue of Spider-Man
Students will finally be learning about the remainder of the food safety required to be successful and safe in this course. Created by another teacher and implemented into the MLIS Global Curriculum.
Created by another teacher, this is implemented at MLIS in China for heavy ESL students, but still a very good resource for native English speakers who are learning about the ways to be safe in the kitchen when making food.
Foods and Nutrition in MLIS is not a bird course in any way. This course is meant to prepare students for life on their own After finishing this course, students should have the ability to think for themselves in the kitchen and follow recipes without hesitation.
In the culinary arts classroom students sometimes have a lack of respect for classroom rules possibly because they may not be aware of your expectations. Make sure students are aware of your expectations and how you plan to uphold them in YOUR classroom together.
A short and practical lesson with aa couple different activities to get students actively learning how to use periods. I put this together with the intentions of collecting the attention of younger audiences with the small use of Spider-Man.
A in class game to play with the students. This activity is excellent for associating the interests of students with their sense of reality and survival awareness. This game is great when also combined with any economics or social science aspect of learning. Rainy days or "Fun Fridays" may be a great reason to take out the game :)
No my production!!! Just thought it would be worth sharing with other teachers :)
Educational worksheet/handout for students in Food and Nutrition Class. The class has a very interesting spot in the Canadian Curriculum (BC and ON). The Food and Nutrition Lab work is one aspect, but the science and understand of food nutrition, well that is a science!
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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
