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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.
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.

1. KS3 Digital Studies Year 8: First World War Poetry
Curriculum Aims:
This SOW will enable students to explore First World War poetry in the context of changes in the public’s perception of the war
from 1914 onwards. Students will plan, develop and evaluate their own interactive timeline, utilising narrative, images, audio recordings
and videos. This should portray how the style, tone and content of selected war poetry reflected the changing national mood in Britain
during and after the Great War. As part of this process, students will utilise a range of techniques for analysing poetry using
technology, whilst also developing their ability to explore the historical, social and cultural context of poetry. Pupils will ultimately
write and perform their own poem of remembrance. This SOW explicitly complements the topic studied in English, in which pupils will
be analysing and interpreting First World War poetry.
Information:
This is a twelve week SOW with two opportunities for assessment; one in week six and one in week ten. Students will need time to
comprehend both the Digital Studies assessment criteria and the English APP.
Assessment Opportunities
Digital Studies: AF1 and AF3 English: Speaking and Listening: AF1
AF1 - Planning, developing and evaluating
AF3 - Finding, using and communicating
information
AF1: Talking to others
Talk in purposeful and imaginative ways to explore ideas and feelings, adapting and
varying structure and vocabulary according to purpose, listeners, and content
Skills Developed Summative Assessment
Digital Literacy MovieMaker Assessment 1 (DS: AF1 & 3): All students will plan, develop and evaluate a short
film on Moviemaker in which they use images, music and quotes from war poetry to
illustrate the mood, tone and content of a selected WW1 poem.
Assessment 2 (English S&L AF1): All students will present their completed poem
of remembrance to members of the class. Each performance will either be observed
or recorded to enable assessment and moderation.
