The Vikings originated from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark where the land was rocky and difficult to farm. They found England and Ireland had richer, more fertile land and valuable treasures, with a warmer climate that they preferred. The Vikings used longships to raid monasteries in Ireland for gold and goods, continuing these raids for many years as they stole from various monasteries around the island. Archaeologists have discovered remnants of Viking longships buried in the ground or underwater that provide evidence about their boat-building techniques.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
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.

Vikings
1.
2. The Vikings came from Norway,
Sweden and Denmark which are
North of England.
Their land was not fertile. It was
rocky. They found it hard to grow
crops.
They found that both England and
Ireland was rich with plentiful lands
and treasures.
The climate was much warmer than
where they came from, they preferred
it and wanted to settle here.
3. In Ireland when the Vikings ships were seen out on the sea.
Whe they arrived on shore they were known as Genti (pagan
warriors) Gael (Foreigners) or Normandi(Men from the North).
When they arrived on the coast they raided monasteries for gold
and precious goods.
These raids went on for many years as the Vikings stole from
various monasteries around Ireland. The word ‘Viking’ means
pirate, and these pirates were about to get even greedier….
4. The Vikings used
longships to raid
and steal from
other lands.
The Longships
were powered by
sails or by rowing
with oars.
The Viking longships were crafted out of woods and were very
effective and skimming across the surface of the waves. The
used their boats for transporting cargo, trading and for
exploring. The Vikings even travelled to America, which they
called Vineland, because grapes grew there.
5. Archaeologists have
discovered many wrecks
of longboats at the bottom
of the ocean or buried in
the ground.
We now know enough to make new
longships that will sail exactly like
the Vikings did.
The evidence found can be
studied to reconstruct the
boats.
Vikings even used their
boats to bury great warriors
at sea. They used to set fire
to the longships.
6. Constantinople
was the main
city of the
Byzantine
empire. The
Vikings traded
there.
The Vikings
were the
first
Europeans
to reach
America.
The Vikings seemed to get everywhere...
Eric the
Red
founded a
new
settlement
in
Greenland.
The
Vikings had
settlements
in Iceland
in the ninth
century.
The French king
gave the province
of Normandy to a
Viking duke named
Rollo to stop him
attacking.
The Vikings
settled in an
area called
Rus. The name
Russia comes
from this word.
7. A few questions….
1.. Why did the Vikings invade?
2. What was a longship made of and how was it powered?
3. Where did the Vikings come from?
4. What does the word Viking mean?
5. Who settled in Greenland?
6. What is Rus called today?
7. Where else did the Vikings settle?
…..to check you’ve been listening!
8. Sagas and Runes
Sagas
Viking children did not go to school so instead, lessons came in
the form of Sagas or long stories. They described the adventures
of great Viking warriors or gods. The Sagas were an important
way to teach History, Geography and navigation. The Vikings
often decorated buildings with pictures from famous sagas.
Runes
The Viking alphabet was called the Futhark. The letters or runes
were carved into wood or stone. The runes are made of straight
lines so it is easier to carve them.
9. The Vikings believed
there were many different
gods that lived in a place
called Asgard.
Odin or Woden
was the god of war.
He rode an eight
legged horse.
Loki was half
god and half fire
spirit. He played
tricks to cause
trouble.
Thor was the god
of thunder. He had
a quick temper but
was good hearted.
10. Frey made the
sun shine, the
rain fall and the
crops grow. He
kept a magic
boat folded in
his pocket.
Fryja was Frey’s sister and the
goddess of love. She could turn into a
bird.
11. Vikings were skilled craftsmen making objects from stone, wood
and metal. The blacksmiths were very well respected. Some
jewellery was made especially to be buried with someone who
had died. Some was made for rich people as it was the safest way
to keep their wealth.Gold pendants were made to wear around the
neck, some were thought to be magical charms.
Brooches were used to fasten up tunics as they didn’t have any
buttons. Often they would have keys or combs hanging from them
as Vikings did not have pockets either!
12. Have you been listening!
1. What did the Vikings call long stories?
2. What were these stories supposed to teach?

A few questions….just to check!
15. helmet
spear

jewellery. The metal would
be heated up and then
banged into shape. To make
a weapon stronger, it would
be plunged into cold water.
shield
sword
