Troy was an ancient city located in what is now Turkey that was an important UNESCO World Heritage site. It was discovered in the 19th century by German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann and is best known from legends and stories like the Trojan War in Greek epic poems. Archaeological excavations have uncovered nine layers of the city dating back to the Bronze Age, with Troy VIIa from around 1300-1190 BC believed to be the setting for Homer's epic poems about the Trojan War.
This presentation discusses the rich cultural heritage of Turkey. It notes that Turkey was home to many important historical figures and civilizations. Turkey served as the center of several empires and has a long history spanning many millennia. Today, Turkey aims to share its cultural traditions and play a role in the European community as it moves into the new millennium.
This document is a staff development and teaching module created by the Virginia Department of Education to teach economics concepts related to production and consumption for grades K-5.

This document discusses the practical application of statistics in education in Kenya. It begins by defining statistics and outlining the typical statistical process. It then discusses the importance of statistics for educational planning and decision making. Several key agencies involved in collecting education statistics in Kenya are identified, including the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, schools themselves, and the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development. The roles of statistics in education are also outlined, such as creating trends to inform policymaking, measuring the impact of plans and policies, and providing a quantitative picture of educational conditions. Overall, the document emphasizes that timely, accurate education statistics are important for all stakeholders to work towards common goals and objectives in improving the education system.
Planning the lesson plan-comments-suggestionsOnijSuni
The document is a student teacher assessment form that evaluates performance in two areas: planning and instruction. For planning, it evaluates the lesson plan for elements like objectives, materials, procedures, and alignment. For instruction, it assesses establishing routines, communication skills, engaging teaching methods, use of thinking activities, presentation skills, inclusion of teaching aids, accommodation of learner needs, and use of technology. Comments and suggestions are requested for improving the lesson plan and instruction.
1. The document outlines a weekly lesson plan for teaching 6th grade students about managing family resources.
2. Over the course of the week, students learn about different types of family resources like time, energy, and money. They discuss proper management of each resource.
3. A variety of activities are used including class discussions, group work, presentations, and formative assessments. The goal is for students to understand the importance of resource management and how to apply it to their daily lives.
The researchers propose developing a system to automatically select and customize educational resources from a digital library to support individual student and teacher needs. The system will assemble resources into courses to help students achieve learning goals while considering constraints. It will use planning methods to create personalized plans and evaluate resources to optimize plans. The researchers will extract planning knowledge from digital libraries, determine how software can evaluate teaching resources, obtain useful evaluation data, and compare automatically-generated plans to human-authored ones.

Here are the answers to your questions:
1. An igneous rock is formed when magma or lava cools and solidifies.
2. You do not need to melt existing rocks to form magma. Magma is formed by melting of rocks, usually deep within the earth, due to high temperatures and pressures.
3. Temperature increase alone is not solely responsible for melting rocks. Other factors like presence of volatiles (water, carbon dioxide etc.) also aid in lowering the melting point of rocks.
4. Magma is formed in three main tectonic settings:
- At divergent plate boundaries like mid-ocean ridges due to upwelling of hot mantle material.
- Above

How Economics Can Strengthen the Teaching of HistoryTroy D. White
This document discusses how teaching economics concepts can help strengthen the teaching of U.S. history. It notes that students currently perform poorly on history tests despite taking many history courses. It argues that teaching history through an economic lens, focusing on how individuals made choices in response to costs and benefits, can help engage students and make the past feel more relatable. The proposed curriculum teaches key U.S. history topics and events through this economic decision-making framework. Its goal is to help students see history as the outcome of many possibilities rather than one inevitable path.

The chapter Lifelines of National Economy in Class 10 Geography focuses on the various modes of transportation and communication that play a vital role in the economic development of a country.

3. What are some of the challenges of teaching history?
How Economics can help
Economics stresses that all people make choices. But...
... they don’t know, at the time, what the consequences of their choices will be.
So, people make decisions by weighing costs vs. benefits.
Your Goal
Get your students to see a range of possibilities by looking at historical events
through a prism of costs vs. benefits analysis
GUIDE TO ECONOMIC REASONING
1 People choose.
2. People’s choices involve costs.
3. People respond to incentives in predictable ways.
4. People create economic systems that influence individual choices and
incentives.
5. People gain when they trade voluntarily.
6. People’s choices have consequences that lie in the future.
