Regular nouns are nouns that become plural if an -s is added to them. For example, a shirt becomes shirts, or a pen becomes pens. Instead of -s however, -es must be added to singular nouns that end in -ch, -sh, -s, -x, or -z. For example, vases, watches, and bushes are the plural forms of a vase, watch, and bushWhat is a regular noun? A regular noun can be made plural by simply adding -s or -es to the end of the word.

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

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.

2. How do we select and use
teaching aids?
Teaching aids are the resources and equipment
available to us in the classroom, as well as the
resources we can bring into the classroom. They
include interactive whiteboards, computers, CD
players, DVD players and overhead projectors
(OHPs) (i.e. equipment with a light in it that can
make images appear larger on a screen), visual
aids (pictures that can help learners
understand), realia and the teacher herself!.
We select and use aids by thinking carefully
about the main aims, the subsidiary aims
and stage aims of a lesson, and then choosing
the most appropriate aids.
3. Teaching Aids
BLACKBOARD / WHITEBOARD
TEACHING PURPOSE
• Increased student attention and
engagement. Writing up vocabulary,
grammar examples and explanations
• Makes classroom assessments easy and
quick. letting students write on their
papers simultaneously.
• Allows for instant alternative or unplanned
activity.
Mistakes can be erased quickly and
easily.
• Less mess and convenient.
• Digital Boards (Jamboard, Zoom, Miro)
8. Teaching Aids
REALIA
TEACHING PURPOSE
Real objects that we can easily bring into
the classroom can be used to
teach vocabulary, as prompts for
practising grammatical structures or for
building dialogues and narratives, for
games and quizzes. Realia also include
real texts, such as menus, timetables,
leaflets, etc.
9. Teaching Aids
PUPPETS
TEACHING PURPOSE
Puppets are an excellent resource for
teaching young learners. For example,
we can introduce new language in
dialogues between pairs of puppets (or
between one puppet and the teacher).
Children can also make their own simple
puppets.
10. Teaching Aids
CLASSROOM CHARTS
We can use posters and wallcharts (drawings
or graphs that can be put on the wall of a
classroom) to display larger, more detailed
pictures, or a series of pictures telling a story or
showing related objects in a lexical
set. A phonemic chart shows the phonemic
symbols and the positions in the mouth where
the different sounds are made. The teacher can
point at the symbols to prompt learners to
correct their pronunciation.
11. Teaching Aids
THE TEACHER
The teacher can use hand gestures, facial
expressions and mime (actions which express
meaning without words) to elicit vocabulary
items, clarify meaning and create context. We
can also build up a set of signals, such as
in finger correction, which learners recognise
as prompts to correct their own mistakes.
12. Consider this when using teaching aids.
• Think about the best ways to use different aids (e.g. using flashcards to give quick, clear prompts,
or using the overhead projector to show corrections to the whole class or for students to use for
presentations). Different aids have different advantages and disadvantages. Make sure you choose
the best one for your specific teaching purpose and context.
• Aids that you can prepare in advance, like charts, flashcards and transparencies for the overhead
projector, will help you to make sure that procedures outlined in lesson plans match your aims.
Another advantage is that you can save such aids and re-use them in future lessons.
• Make sure that you check any equipment before the lesson. If you use computers or the language
laboratory, advance preparation is essential. It is important to plan all your instructions very
carefully, as well as the sequence of activities for using the aids.
• Learners may also make use of a self-access centre, a place with books, worksheets, computers
and CDs, where they can study by themselves.
