The process for engaging students in the close reading of complex texts
To discover the importance of setting a clear purpose and recognizing text structure
To gain methods for having students re-read the text and annotate it in order to examine key vocabulary, structure, language, and meaning
Workshop 4 Making Grammar Instruction Meaningful and EnjoyableMaryna Tsehelska
How is English grammar acquired? Should we teach all English tenses at once or study them separately? Why do our students know grammar rules but make lots of grammar mistakes in writing and speaking? What is more important – a clear explanation or meaningful revision?
These are just a few questions I’m going to answer while sharing my personal observations and beliefs about grammar teaching and learning.
Key points:
1. A short discussion about popular ways of teaching grammar.
2. Stages of grammar acquisition.
3. Teaching English tenses.
4. The power of paraphrasing.

Reading Wednesday
Strategies for students with Learning Disabilities
By: Gale Stanford and Paula Webber
Often students with learning disabilities struggle with reading in the content areas. The best way a teacher can support a struggling reader is to give them opportunities to read and provide them support as they read new content which is often filled with unfamiliar vocabulary and concepts.
Our middle school students were struggling with the new science curriculum, so we decided to give the students and their teachers support by compiling a list of reading strategies they could use within their classrooms.
It is important to pair students carefully when you want them to read together. Our students have learned that new content does not have to be difficult when they apply strategies with a friend.
Below is a list of strategies, their purpose and description of each. They were designed for the 7th and 8th grade science courses at middle school level.
Each Wednesday, students read science lessons and focus on vocabulary development and the use of the vocabulary in speaking, listening, reading and writing activities. These strategies could be used in any core classroom.
STRATEGY
PURPOSE
DESCRIPTION
SQ3R
An approach to studying and reading to improve comprehension and retention
Have students to scan passage, formulate questions to be answered, read, recite what they have read, and then review.
K-W-L
Strategy used to introduce a topic
"Know, Want to know, Learn" Students identify what they know about a topic, what they want to know, and after reading or instruction, identify what they learned or would still like to learn
Reciprocal Teaching
To encourage student-student learning
Students take turns being the teacher for a pair or small group. Teacher role may be to clarify, ask questions, ask for predictions, etc
Think Aloud
To encourage critical thinking and oral reading
Teacher or student describes own thoughts while reading aloud to class.
Read and Respond
Assesses student response to what they have read
Read a passage to the student or have them read it by themselves or in a group.
Have the student respond to the story in a number of creative ways. They can communicate by drawing, recording in the journal, or by use of diagrams and mapping about what they heard or read and how they felt about it. Have the student report to a partner, a small group or to the whole class about their responses.
Graphic Organizer
Visual frameworks to help the learner make connections between concepts
Graphic organizers are used before learning and help remind the learner of what they already know about a subject; are designed to be used during learning to act as cues to what to look for in the structure of the resources or information; are used during review activities and help to remind students of the number and variety of components they should be remembering.

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
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.

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. PROBABLE PASSAGE In this activity, the instructor pulls five or six quotes out of the text before reading. The teacher then groups students and without telling them, gives each group a different quote. The students discuss the quote, predict what the reading will be about, and then share out to the entire class. They begin to realize that each group has a different quote, yet somehow they all fit together in the same reading. This helps students read with anticipation, wondering how all of the pieces will fit together in the text. This strategy may also be adapted into a Jigsaw activity, where one member from each original group joins together in a new group to share his or her quote and explain what his or her group predicted about the reading.
