1) The document discusses how to express and resolve personal conflicts. It provides questions about a song's message and how it relates to the reader's life.

Traditional academic writing (essays, reports, etc.) often overlook the creative writing techniques that native English speakers receive throughout their education. Thus, what is needed is a reexamination of the syllabus to find creative writing opportunities. In addition, ESL/EFL teachers must be given the ability and confidence to teach writing. My workshop aims to accomplish these necessities.
The students began a new unit called "One World, Many Stories" where they rotated between classrooms to participate in story-related activities, including using pictures to tell stories, acting out readers' theatre plays, listening to stories by an author, and sharing their favorite books. They learned that stories can be told orally, through pictures, acted out, or read from books. The author Corinne Fenton visited and read one of her stories to the class. The students continued learning about stories and authors through various activities including character studies and illustrations inspired by author Pamela Allen.

- Language focus of family member vocabulary and sentences using "is/isn't"
- Three main activities: 1) Recycling vocabulary with flashcards and introducing new terms. 2) Having students complete a family tree text with vocabulary. 3) Writing sentences using prompts and vocabulary.
- Procedures for each stage of the lesson including introduction, activities and wrap up game.
This document provides summaries of several children's books that could be used in an elementary school setting. It discusses strategies for how each book could be used, including having students compare cultures, write their own versions of stories, discuss bullying, and more. Key details about genre, format, and awards are also provided for each book.
William Shakespeare is referred to as "The Bard" because bard originally meant poet. As one of the greatest poets of all time, he is called the Bard of Avon from his hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon. Teachers should teach Shakespeare because his works deal with universal human themes like love, death, and betrayal that are still relevant today. His plays also expose students to diversity and challenge them. Teaching Macbeth involves pre-reading activities to introduce themes and symbols, then reading and discussing a scene in groups using close analysis of the text. Students would then perform the scene in a modern adaptation.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

4. The short story girl by Jamaica Kincaid is about the instructions
given a mother to her daughter. It is a mother and daughter relationship.
The instructions are related to the topic such as house chores, washing,
how to behave and cooking etc. Although those instructions sound
bossy and demanding to the readers (us) it is actually a parents or a
mother advice to help their daughter(the girl in the story) to grow up as a
proper lady or woman. It is a prove that the mother care about her
daughter.
In the story of girl, the mother kept accusing the girl of being
determine to become ‘slut’ from her behavior. So, the girl try to defense
herself by saying the dialogue “I don’t sing benna on sundays at all and
never in Sunday school. The girl is an well-behave daughter because
she obey to her mother by not singing benna in Sunday school. The girl
only speaks twice to defends her self and ask question. Her mother
actually wanted her daughter to grown up the same way as she was
before. The last line of the story ‘you mean to say that after all you are
really going to be the kind of woman who the baker won’t let near the
bread?’ , is the mother asking question to her daughter. Maybe it gives
us meaning that the daughter didn’t became a perfect
woman(sophisticated woman) that her mother wanted her to be, with all
many way she can goes wrong and all the ‘rules’ that she has to follow
