Engaging Lessons for GED Test Prep: Start with StandardsMeagen Farrell
Workshop for adult educators to identify GED Assessment Targets as the basis for lesson plans. Facilitated in Washington DC via OSSE Adult & Family Education.
Using past papers of the Cambridge FCE, this presentation demonstrates ways to take tasks in exam format and use them creatively to produce interesting and motivating lessons. The lessons are useful both as specific ideas that can be adopted for re-use, and as general examples of an approach.
For reading, we firstly look at a series of activities designed to help the student engage with the topic of the exam task while pre-teaching some essential vocabulary. We then suggest ideas for promoting both top-down and bottom-up approaches to reading comprehension.
For writing tasks, we firstly demonstrate a topic-based approach, where the teacher begins with a discussion of the topic and introduces relevant vocabulary before linking this to the writing task. The other approach which we illustrate begins with an examination of the features of some of the genres which FCE candidates are required to produce, before drafting an outline for a text in one of these genres.
In a sample lesson preparing for the Use of English paper, the approach to the activity starts out by treating it as a reading lesson, although this is eventually an exercise in lexico-grammar.
Finally, we demonstrate an approach to listening tasks which includes pre-listening activities to make the topic more accessible, and video in place of audio recordings to make the task more realistic.

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.

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.

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.

Your Turn
Editor's Notes
No objective means you have no basis to select materials, content, or methods. If you don’t know where you are going, how do you know how to get there.
Tests and other assessments are far more effective when test items have been designed with objectives in mind.
Objectives provide a way for student to organize their own thoughts and efforts towards reaching the objective.
Writing objectives causes the teacher to think seriously and deeply about what is worth teaching.
Objectives are outcomes, NOT procedures or processes.
Objectives are the results, not how to achieve those results.
Many teachers should be able to teach from well written objectives using different ways of achieving them.
You want your objective to communicate what you want students to learn.
Objectives should be clear and not subject to many interpretations.
If another teacher reads your objectives and teaches students to perform in a way that is consistent with what you wanted, then your objective is clear and communicates what you want it to.
