1) The teacher taught lessons on The Hunger Games to Year 7 focusing on describing Katniss Everdeen's personality and the reaping scene. A formal observation noted that students should not always read aloud and alternative forms of writing like newspaper articles could be used.
2) Lessons with Year 8 on Romeo and Juliet focused on script writing for the balcony scene and performing scripts, but the teacher feels more scaffolding was needed. A scene analysis could have been improved by showing a video clip first.
3) Two effective lessons with Year 9 evaluated character changes in Romeo and Juliet and provided assessment feedback with embedded quotes.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
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.

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.

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.

Reflective Practice: how successful were the lessons?
Year 7
I taught two lessons with my year 7 class, focusing on Chapter One of The
Hunger Games. The first lesson focused on the personality of Katniss, using
adjectives to describe Katniss and quotes from the book to back up what they
described her. This was done using collaborative group work, and all groups
stuck up their work on the wall as a ‘gallery’ to take down quotes that they
thought were beneficial. I felt this worked extremely well, as students would
be able to think about which quotes were important, and write them down in
their books. The second lesson was a formal lesson observation by my
mentor, Huw. I was extremely flustered as I had just arrived back from Senior
Sports day, so I was in a rush to get to the lesson on time. I had to field
questions about my choice of attire, but the lesson seemed to run smoothly.
The lesson focused on reading to the end of Chapter One, focusing on the
description of the reaping. This part is important as this is where two people
from the district are chosen to fight in The Hunger Games, and I asked the
class to write a diary entry using descriptive techniques. We went through the
descriptive techniques, and using collaborative group work to come up with
examples of these techniques. Huw picked out two important points which I
could possibly defend:
Do not allow students to read – he said that this ‘kills’ the book as they
are not reading enthusiastically. I retorted by explaining that reading
out loud is a skill that is important because they will have to give
presentations in life. Huw said it would depend on department policy
but he feels that it does not promote ‘a love of reading’
Form of writing – a diary entry that I set for the students does not have
any sense of readership. It is for themselves to read, so there is no
underlying audience. I agree with him, and came up with alternatives
like a newspaper article, where students write a newspaper article
reporting that Primrose Everdeen and Peeta have been chosen to
represent District 12.
I understand that I have things to improve, but I do feel like our differing
pedagogies do clash.
Year 8
I taught three lessons with my year 8 class, focusing on Act Two Scene Two
and Act Three Scene One. The first two lessons prepared students to write a
script for the balcony scene. I felt that this could have been prepared much
better, possibly with script starters and better scaffolding. I feel that I could
have got students to explore ‘modern day’ conversations of characters
confessing their love for one another. For the second lesson, they performed
their scripts in South Hall. I felt that the students enjoyed this, but they are an
extremely shy class. To do this effectively, I could have explained the
importance of performance, and that they have to do this in GCSE. For the
final lesson, we looked at the fight scene in Act Three Scene One. This is
2. where Romeo kills Tybalt to avenge for Mercutio’s death. I feel that I could
have delivered this effectively by showing the clip first, rather than taking on
the whole scene and deciphering it as a class.
Year 9
I taught two lessons with my year 9 class, where I focused on the start of Act
Two, which will be part of their assessment. For the first lesson, we evaluated
the characters from the end of Act One to page 37, 10 pages into Act Two. I
wanted to get them to see how they changed, and pick out quotes in pairs. I
found this to be quite effective as this built up their skills in selecting quotes
which can be discussed further. I also found this ‘timeline’ to be effective as it
was more animated. The second lesson focused on assessment feedback for
the first question about Mr. Birling. I found the lesson to run smoothly, with
clear feedback points and homework focusing on embedding quotes.
Year 10
As I was at Senior Sports Day and eleven were absent on Thursday, I did not
take any Year 10 lessons this week. I have continued to annotate the
anthology.
Action Points:
Consider carefully the form of writing you are asking the students
to write
Use different ways of reading to promote ‘a love of reading’
