The document provides a strategy for answering single short answer questions on standardized tests in three steps: A) Answer the question, C) Cite evidence from the text using quotations to support the answer, and E) Explain how the evidence supports the answer and the significance or importance of the evidence. An example question and response demonstrating this ACE strategy is also provided.
The document outlines the ACE technique for answering questions about a text in 3 steps:
1) Answer the question by restating it and providing a response,
2) Cite evidence from the text using a direct quote to support the answer,
3) Explain or expand on the answer in a simple concluding sentence without new information.
It then provides an example of using this technique to answer a question about how Jackie Robinson demonstrated perseverance by not quitting baseball despite facing discrimination, citing a quote as evidence and concluding he was able to break barriers. The document advises that connecting questions on tests will link two stories using this ACE approach.
I did not make this PowerPoint. Credit should go to the author listed on the last page.
This is a great presentation using the metaphor of a bicycle to explain the essentials of a complete sentence to students. I use it in my ninth grade English classes at the beginning of the year.
This document defines and provides examples of adjectives and adverbs. Adjectives describe or modify nouns and pronouns, and can be proper, comparative, or superlative. Adverbs describe or modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, and can indicate when, where, how, how often, how long, or degree something occurred.
A verb expresses an action or state of being. There are transitive verbs that require a direct object and intransitive verbs that do not. Verbs can also describe a state of being by linking the subject to a noun or adjective. Helping verbs are used to form tenses like past or perfect. Tenses like present, past and future indicate when an action occurs. The subject can perform or receive the action of the verb. Mood shows the tone or attitude of a statement. Some verbs can function as other parts of speech by adding suffixes like "-ing" or "-ed".
Pronouns are words used in place of nouns that have antecedents. Pronouns can function the same as nouns and include simple, compound, and phrasal pronouns. There are also reflexive, intensive, relative, interrogative, demonstrative, and possessive pronouns that have specific uses and functions.
Nouns name people, places, things, ideas, or qualities. Proper nouns are capitalized and name specific people or places. Common nouns are more general and not capitalized. Abstract nouns name ideas or feelings while concrete nouns name tangible things. Collective nouns name a group taken as a whole. Nouns can function as subjects, direct objects, indirect objects, objects of prepositions, or predicate nouns in a sentence.
The document defines and provides examples of different types of irony. It explains that irony is when what actually happens differs from what is expected, and identifies three main types: verbal irony involves saying one thing but meaning another, situational irony occurs when a situation turns out opposite of expectations, and dramatic irony exists when the audience knows something characters do not.
This document provides a rubric for scoring short answer responses that connect ideas between two given selections. It outlines four score points - 0 for no answer, 1 for a reasonable idea but lacking evidence, 2 for a reasonable idea supported by evidence from both selections, and 3 for a perceptive idea supported by specific, well-chosen evidence. The document also provides examples of sample questions and answers that demonstrate how to structure a response by explaining the idea for each selection and citing relevant evidence from both.
This document outlines the TP-CASTT method for analyzing poetry in 3 steps and 8 sections: T=Title, P=Paraphrase, C=Connotation, A=Attitude, S=Shift, and T=Theme. It instructs the reader to first make a prediction about the poem based on its title before reading. Then to paraphrase the literal meaning and examine for deeper connotations and the author's attitude. It notes to look for shifts in speakers and attitudes and re-examine the title and identify the overall theme of the poem.
This document provides a rubric for scoring student responses to reading comprehension questions on English exams. It defines the characteristics of responses that would receive scores of 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more accomplished reading ability. A score of 0 means the response did not answer the question or was too vague. A score of 1 means the response and evidence were partly sufficient. A score of 2 means the response went beyond a literal reading and had accurate evidence. A score of 3 means the response was perceptive and had specific, well-chosen evidence demonstrating a deep understanding.
This document uses the analogy of a bicycle to explain the basic structure and components of a sentence. It states that a sentence requires two essential parts: a subject and a predicate. These two parts form the two wheels of the bicycle, with the subject as one wheel telling who or what, and the predicate as the other wheel telling what about the subject. The document provides examples of basic sentences and how more details can be added to each wheel through modifiers like adjectives and adverbs. It also discusses dependent and independent clauses, as well as fragments that lack either a subject or predicate. Overall, the bicycle analogy aims to give a concise and concrete way to understand sentence structure.
The document defines various literary and narrative terms including: myth, legend, hero, epic, journey, allegory, fable, oral tradition, in medias res, deus ex machina, and muses. It explains that myths are traditional stories that may explain cultural practices, legends are stories passed down through tradition, and a hero is a brave character in an epic poem known for great achievements.
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

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
