Thanks Julee. You're so right. Out of My Mind is another treasure of a book!Delete
Yay for RULES! 2007 is my all-time favorite Newbery Honor year.ReplyDeleteReplies
So, you made me go back to look for 2007, & of course, Hattie Big Sky is another favorite, too. So many good books out there! This group with Rules was wonderful, memorable!Delete
Otto looks like a great book. I have added it to my tbr pile. Rules is also a fave! Enjoy your week Linda!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Gigi. Otto was a good story, both endearing and serious. I hope you'll like it.Delete
You reminded me to order the Poetry Anthology with this post, Linda! Rules is suc a wonderful book for book clubs - especially at the beginning of the year.ReplyDeleteReplies
The anthology is terrific, Tara. I hope you like it! And yes, Rules is too!Delete

Rules is one of those books I never seem to get to. Thanks for the reminder. And the Tomi Ungerer looks intriguing. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Rules is middle grade, so pretty fast reading, but very filled with super writing & content. Hope you try it! Otto, as said earlier, is sweet, sad, good!Delete
I need to buy Otto. I hadn't heard of it before. It looks like a good book to have in our Judaic book collection for when Isabelle gets older. Thanks, Linda.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, Otto will be a good addition, Stacey, an introduction that will help begin the conversation for younger children. It's different from others of Ungerer's, even the illustrations, which are beautiful. I hope you like it.Delete
Love Rules! One of my favorite books to read in a book club setting- students have some great insight.ReplyDelete
Happy reading this week :)Replies
Thanks Kellee. It's a terrific book!Delete
Wow! Otto sounds like quite a story! May have to check that one out. Grandson's middle name is Otto.ReplyDeleteReplies
It's not for the little ones, but someday, he will enjoy it, because this Otto bear is very special! How neat, Donna!Delete
I think Otto looks so special. I would love to find and read it. I haven't read Rules but it is on my bookshelf downstairs. I must get to it - maybe summer reading. Now trying to keep up with all of the requested books that keep arriving at the library! Seem to happen all at once.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, they come quickly, don't they? I hope your library has Otto. It's good! Rules is realistic, but might be a good read aloud for your own children, Carrie.Delete
Hi there Linda, I am so glad to see that you found a copy of Otto! I enjoyed that greatly when I did my Tomi Ungerer special. I'm so happy that you enjoyed it. I have to get my hands on that Poetry Friday anthology. Sounds like a real winner! Wonderful to see Poetry Friday friends contributing to the collection as well, such a thrill!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Myra. Yes, Otto is wonderful, & I finally found a copy! I hope you can get the Anthology-very good!Delete
Wow, would love to read Otto, The Autobiography of a Teddy Bear-- sounds powerful. New book to anticipate, thank you!ReplyDelete

Osteoarthritis is a long-term chronic disease which occurs due to deterioration of cartilaginous muscles in joints and increases pain and stiffness in bone joint in the body. Usual symptoms of arthritis are redness and swelling on the affected part whereas obesity, overweight, infections and old age are the main causes for osteoarthritis.
The demand for osteoarthritis treatment market is estimated to expand in near future owing to rapid growth in aging population and increased personal disposable income in growing economies across the globe. Rapid growth in healthcare sectors supported by spiked investments in research and development aims to provide affordable and effective osteoarthritis treatments. These factors are estimated to swell the demand for osteoarthritis medications and other treatment in near future.
Market size and forecast
The global osteoarthritis treatment market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 7.6% over the forecast period i.e. 2016-2023. The market of medications is expected to garner exponentially in terms of demand on account of cost-effectiveness and ease of availability.
Regionally, Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing and revenue generating market across the globe in near future. The market is driven by rapid increase in aging population in Asia-pacific regions such as Japan, China, etc. and increasing investment in healthcare sector in order to reduce the burden of diseases from aged population. Factors such as government initiatives and rise in personal disposable income in growing economies of Asia-Pacific region are expected to augment the demand for osteoarthritis treatment in near future.

Likewise, North America accounted the highest market share in terms of revenue in overall market of osteoarthritis treatment across the globe. The market of North America region is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period i.e. 2016-2023 on the back of introduction of favorable re-imbursement policies in the region, rising obese population coupled with higher risk of osteoarthritis and rising awareness towards the treatment of osteoarthritis. Further, increase in healthcare expenditure across the globe in developing and under-developed nations are changing the scenario of healthcare sector in order to provide better and effective treatment. Emerging economies are adopting advanced therapies and healthcare treatments to minimize the burden of diseases which is further cutting down the figure of health expenditure. Rising awareness towards osteoarthritis in developing nations and introduction of favorable re-imbursement policies by the government organizations across the globe are likely to shift the consumer to adopt treatment for osteoarthritis in near future.
Market Segmentation
Our in-depth analysis segmented the global osteoarthritis treatment market in the following segments:
By Medications: Acetaminophen, Non-steroidal Anti-Inflammatory
By Therapies: Non-Pharmacological Therapy, Pharmacological Therapy, Surgical Treatment
By End-User: Hospitals, Clinics, Household
Growth Drivers and challenges
The market of osteoarthritis treatment is driven on the back of factors such as increase in aging population that is predicted to trigger the prevalence of chronic diseases such as osteoarthritis and leading to physical inactivity, stiffness and pain in joints, growing awareness towards osteoarthritis therapies for better treatment and early adoption of healthcare treatments to maintain fitness.
Furthermore, increase in personal disposable income, growing preference of consumers towards early treatments and preventions, availability of cost-effective & advanced osteoarthritis treatment drugs and rising awareness towards osteoarthritis and their treatment across the globe are some of the key elements prompting the demand for osteoarthritis treatment over the forecast period i.e. 2016-2023.
Request Free Table of Contents Here: https://www.researchnester.com/toc-request/1/rep-id-195
However, high cost of treatment, lack of awareness in under-developed nations, poor treatment of osteoarthritis, and lack of skilled healthcare physicians are some of the factors likely to hamper the market growth of osteoarthritis treatment market across the globe.

In 2012, the township of Sharpstown, Texas fired its police force and hired SEAL, a private security firm, to patrol the town. As you would expect, the town is now a hotbed of crony corruption, the private police are costing citizens an arm and a leg, and the crime rate has shot through the roof. Or not:
Not only has SEAL been more successful at preventing crime in Sharpstown than traditional law enforcement [crime has dropped 61% in Sharpstown], they are cheaper. Sharpstown is saving $200,000 per year over their previous contract with the constable, and they get more patrol officers for less money, guns.com reported.
This is a great idea for so many reasons. The main problems with police these days is that they have forgotten for whom they work. The police are not employees of the county, the state, and especially not the feds. The police work for the people. They are supposed to enforce laws for the benefit of the people. They have largely forgotten this. Now, they squeeze as much money out of a community as they can through citations, they allow themselves the exercise of apparently gratifying excessive force, and they are almost completely unaccountable to the people. Because it is safer and easier for them to prey on generally peaceful citizens, most of them don't even bother doing the "dangerous" jobs, which are the only real reason they exist.
A private firm solves all of these issues. If, in the minds of their employers—the community, they do not do a good job keeping the peace, they are fired. Since they are paid a fee to protect the innocent, they have little incentive (and no authority) to issue citations to otherwise law-abiding citizens. Hiring a private security firm solves almost all of the problems associated with the current system. And it disconnects the police force from the manipulations of federal agendas.
Given all of that, you can be sure private security firms will be made illegal soon. They are too cheap, too effective, and too accountable. If you are going to ensure the state of fear, panic, and distress necessary to convince the masses to do what Big Brother tells them, you need to put an end to private security firms immediately.

Realtor Representation and New Home Builders: What's the Deal?
September 9, 2009 by Justin Lombard · Leave a Comment
Walk into any model home center in Arizona and you'll see a the following phrase posted prominently on the door:

Real Estate Myth-Understanding #1 – "It's OK to visit an Open House without my Realtor present."
April 18, 2008 by Justin Lombard · Leave a Comment
After working with hundreds of homebuyers, I've come to recognize that there are several common misconceptions that are widely held to be true by experienced homebuyers and first-timers alike. I refer to them as "Myth-Understandings" and I've seen many prospective buyers harm their own cause as a result of their misled belief in them.
Keep in mind that real estate laws very from state to state. If you have any questions about how this topic applies outside the State of Arizona, consult a local attorney in the state in which you plan to do business.
MYTH #1: "It's OK to visit an Open House without my Realtor® present."
TRUTH: Only if you don't care to work with your Realtor® anymore! If you visit an open house, whether you're represented by a Realtor® or not, the Realtor® hosting the open house becomes your only legally-recognized agent for that specific property and the only agent entitled to compensation by the Seller.
The legal notion of procuring cause states that the broker who engages in an effort which brings about the sale is the one entitled to the commission. (The Language of Real Estate, John Reilly, Fifth Edition) In this case, the "Open House" signs that guided you to that property would constitute the procuring cause, if you eventually decided to purchase the home. The Realtor® who hosted the open house would be entitled to the full commission, effectively cutting your Realtor® out of the equation. You'd be stuck working with the Realtor® representing the seller, regardless of how professionally and fairly you believe they'll represent you.
Even worse, if you had signed a Buyer Broker Agreement with your Realtor®, which has no effect on procuring cause, you could be compelled to pay your Realtor's® full commission yourself!
Here are a few other situations that fall under the procuring cause umbrella, where you could lose the ability to work with anyone other than the Listing Agent:
-You drive by a house for the first time and see a "For Sale" sign in the yard. Not wanting to bother your Realtor®, but motivated to see the property, you call the Listing Agent and arrange for them to meet you for a private showing without your Realtor® present. The Listing Agent's "For Sale" sign is the procuring cause.
-You see a gorgeous property advertised in the newspaper, so you call the Listing Agent and meet him at the home for a private showing without your Realtor® present. The Listing Agent's advertisement is the procuring cause.
-Your Realtor® is out of town for a week when, while searching on the Internet, you see that the 'perfect' property has just hit the market. You call the Listing Agent and notify her that you are already "working" with a Realtor®, but that you'd like to meet at the property for a showing so you can tell your Realtor® about it when he gets back in town. Since the other agent showed you the property, they would be the procuring cause.
-You visit the Sales Office at a new home subdivision that you've never visited before, just to take a look at the models for decorating ideas. While you are there, you fall in love with one of the homes. The next day you meet your Realtor® at the community to put an offer in on the home. Because you visited the community for the first time without your Realtor® present, the builder's advertising is the procuring cause and the builder would not compensate your Realtor®.
Implications When Looking For Phoenix Real Estate or Scottsdale Real Estate
In a non-dual agent role, your Realtor® is your agent, your trusted advocate whose sole function is to help you find and acquire the perfect property for your needs at the most favorable terms and conditions to you. The safest thing to do is to notify your Realtor® of ANY properties that you would like to see, including "For Sale By Owner" homes, new construction, and traditional resale properties. Your agent can gather the facts for you and make arrangements for you to visit these homes, when applicable. Furthermore, an experienced agent will begin positioning you for the potential upcoming negotiations with the other Realtor® from the very first communication.

Stocks found their footing early Monday, but selling returned as traders fretted over emerging markets and awaited Apple's after-the-bell earnings
Caterpillar's early morning earnings beat was a boost to sentiment and lifted its shares ahead of the big report of the day: Apple.
Stocks were weaker Monday afternoon, after opening higher. But the selling was nothing like the two-day selling spree last week that was triggered mainly by worries that slowing growth in China.
Data showing contraction in Chinese manufacturing activity last week sparked fears that a slowdown would spread to the rest of the world, at a time when some emerging markets are already having problems.

Christian paranoia watch
Seeing the Forest has the best take I can find on this story that's going around about how a teacher was banned from teaching the Declaration of Independence because it has the word "God" in it. Basically, the story is bullshit. The teacher was banned from giving out "supplemental materials" on the use of the word "God" these documents. Dave Johnson is right--twenty bucks says that on Monday someone gets their hands on the supplemental materials and finds that they are lies and propaganda stating that this country was founded by Christians as a Christian nation, i.e. a theocracy.
He's also right that they timed this story to infiltrate Thanksgiving and all the tensions that arise in families that have differing political views. I would also point out that it's bound to come up because Thanksgiving is a secular holiday with religious connotations for a lot of families, who may not be all that comfortable with the fact that in its essence Thanksgiving is secular and belongs to all Americans, Christian or not.
These stories are not designed so much to rile up the fundamentalist Christians, the true believers who go to church twice a week. Those people are already riled up and their family members who don't believe as they do already have coping mechanisms in place. These stories work their magic on the compulsory Christians, because their relatives won't be expecting an ambush. Not many members of my family go to church on a regular basis, but I will bet you one million dollars that if this comes up over their dinner today (I'm not with them) then half of the family will be crawling over each other to denounce the liberals who are trying to take God out of kids' lives. Compulsory Christians are the worst in a way, because they feel guilty that they don't go to church so they welcome a little God-talk in the schools because it takes some of the burden off them to teach their kids respect for God and religion and all that jazz.

Boy, is it ever hot!! 108 today, and the temperature seems to be rising. I say, the only way to survive summer is with a few ice cold cocktails! Prosecco is probably my favorite (well, it comes in pretty darn close with a crisp glass of sauvignon blanc), but the only down fall with white wine is that it doesn't stay cold long enough, especially if you're hanging out by the pool in the summer heat.
What if there was a solution to this warm wine dilemma…. turns out, there is! Prosecco cubes (or any wine, really)! They'll keep your drink ice cold without watering it down. And how fun would it be to flavor it with lemons, limes, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, mint, or anything else you'd like! Go check out the full instructions over at Stella Rosa Wines. If you haven't tried their wine selections, you are missing out! They have a nice variety of seriously tasty summer wines.

States in the U.S. may seldom make the use of open source a requirement, but the same is not necessarily true in other countries -- especially developing markets. Case in point: Vietnam has mandated open source adoption within government agencies.
According to Ars Technica, the country's Ministry of Information and Communications hopes to have the migration to open source complete by the end of next year. Blogger Ryan Paul explains:
The first stage of the plan, which entails migrating all of the backend server infrastructure and training the IT personnel that manage it ... The next stage is the desktop rollout, which mandates adoption of OpenOffice.org, Firefox, and Thunderbird ... The government also called for hardware vendors to preinstall open source software instead of selling computers with cracked or pirated versions of Windows and other proprietary software.
Vietnam is not alone, as open source is growing in popularity in Asia. Several countries have migration plans in place, as well as procurement preferences for open source. However, Paul says, Vietnam's tight migration schedule may come back to haunt officials once implementation is under way. There's not much room in the schedule for the usual bumps and glitches users run into when making big technology changes.

Why Develop iOS Applications?
Why should you develop iOS apps? Because you can. Because they're fun. And because the time has come. iOS apps are busting out all over, and many developers have been very successful with them. Developing iOS apps can be the most fun you've had in your career in years, with very little investment of time and money (compared with developing for platforms like Windows). Here's why:
iOS apps are usually bite-sized, which means that they're small enough to get your head around. A single developer — or one with a partner and maybe some graphics support — can do them. You don't need a 20-person project team with endless procedures and processes and meetings to create something valuable.
The apps tend to be crisp and clean, focusing on what the user wants to do at a particular time and/or place. They're simple but not simplistic. This makes application design (and subsequent implementation) much easier and faster.
The apps use the most innovative platform available for mobile computing. iPhone and iPad have been game-changers. They're completely changing the Internet as a publishing medium, the software industry with regard to applications, and the mobile device industry with regard to the overall digital media experience.
The free iOS Software Development Kit (SDK) makes development as easy as possible. You can register as an iOS developer and download the SDK now, but (fair warning) jumping the gun leads to extra hassle. It's worth getting a handle on the ins and outs of iOS app development beforehand.
iOS has these three other advantages that are important to you as a developer:
You can distribute your app through the App Store. Apple will list your app in the App Store in the category you specify, and the store takes care of credit-card processing (if you charge for your app), hosting, downloading, notifying users of updates, and all those things that most developers hate doing. Developers name their own prices for their creations or distribute them for free; Apple gets 30 percent of the sales price of commercial apps, with the developer getting the rest. Keep in mind that Apple must approve your app before it appears in the App Store.
Apple has a robust yet inexpensive developer program. To place your app in the store and manage it, you have to pay $99 per year to join the Individual or Company version of the iOS Developer Program (which includes iPhone and iPad development support). (Apple also offers an Enterprise version for $299 per year to develop proprietary, in-house iOS applications that you can distribute to employees or members of your organization, and a free University version for educational institutions to include iOS development as part of a curriculum.) But that's it. You don't find any of the infamous hidden charges that you often encounter, especially when dealing with credit-card companies. Go to the iOS Apple Developer site and click the Enroll Now button to get started.
It's a business and productivity tool. Both the iPhone and iPad have become acceptable business and individual productivity tools, in part because they have tight security as well as support for Microsoft Exchange and Office, but even more for their designs as handheld mobile computers. Salespeople can close the deal faster. Automobile finance companies can begin the credit-application process while customers are standing near a vehicle. Doctors and nurses at hospitals are beginning to use iPads to view X-rays and CT scans and read medical records while standing next to the patient. This happy state of affairs expands the possible audience for your application.

Just read this very interesting article on 'Crossing the Atlantic by Cookbook' about Rose Levy Beranbaum's experience where the recipes in her US-published cookbooks didn't work at all when used in Britain!
Beranbaum's write-up on this and the many readers' comments discuss the differences between British and American flours as well as measuring methods. This goes way beyond what most people are aware of, that altitude and humidity can affect the results of baked goods.
I have been using recipes from all over – especially ones from the internet – together with Waitrose organic flour from England or Origins Healthcare flour (a Singapore brand and the packaging says 'Produce of USA'). Suddenly I feel as if I have been blessed with immense good luck that my baking usually turns out pretty well – to my own standards, at least (no sunken cakes so far). Rose Levy Beranbaum's write-up gives me the impression that without an amazingly specialised knowledge of baking ingredients, it will all be a disaster and makes me feel too scared to even try any baking at all!
Perhaps the moral of the story is to use tried-and-tested recipes from cookbooks and websites from the area where one is doing the baking.

1. I pre-ordered Fitness Commitment. When will I receive it?
The program is now available for download. Log into your online account here to gain access now.
2. Is #FitCommit available in hardcopy? Where can I get it?
#FitCommit is currently available in e-format only. It is available exclusively through my online shop.
3. Is there a limit to the number of people who can participate?
No way! The more the merrier!
4. When do we start?
January 12, 2015 will be Day 1 of #FitCommit for myself and many others, but similar to my Strike Sugar Challenge, Fitness Commitment will always be available in my online shop, so you can start any time! Plus, my tips and resources will forever live on Kitchen Table and my social media pages, so they will always be there for you to review, regardless of when you begin.
5. What's the deal with the weekly check-ins and live chats with Tosca?
Along with other live events on Twitter and uStream, I'll be hosting live chat sessions weekly over at the Kitchen Table at ToscaReno.com. The first live chat at Kitchen Table will take place on Monday, January 12 at 12 noon, EDT.
Make sure to sign up and create a log in for yourself ahead of time so when 12 noon on the 12th rolls around, so you can pull up a chair and join the fun!
6. Can I do the #StrikeSugarChallenge while following the Fitness Commitment Program?
Strike Sugar continues to be a popular choice for resetting our sugar drive. You can Strike Sugar along with the #FitCommit, and will likely have to follow the meal plan for Strike Sugar as opposed to the meal plan in the Fitness Commitment Challenge.
1. Is the training portion of the Fitness Commitment Program designed for beginner, intermediate, or advanced exercisers?
My Fitness Commitment Program is appropriate for all! People of all fitness levels and abilities will benefit from cleaning up their lifestyle with this holistic regimen that I've personally designed, followed and tested. You decide what your goal will be, but we will be doing this together all the way for four, life-changing, body-altering weeks and we are going to nail it.
The ultimate goal of #FitCommit is provide you with high-level nutrition and training resources, guidance and support so you can concentrate on Eating Clean and training, instead of worrying about what and when to eat, or when/how to exercise. After practicing healthy eating and fitness habits day in and day out for the 4 week duration of the program, you will be well-positioned to continue thriving! Regardless of whether you want to shed pounds, lose inches, or build muscle or pump up your curves, #FitCommit will help you get to where you want to be.
2. Can I follow the #FitCommit Program if I don't have a gym membership? What equipment will I need?
A gym membership is not required; however, you will need the following items:
– A good amount of space to comfortably and properly perform each exercise
– 1 stability ball
– 2 dumbbells (5-10 pounds, depending on your fitness level; weight should be challenging but something you can handle)
– 1 skipping rope – a cable rope or heavy rope is best
– Olympic bar
– Kettlebell or weight plate (5-10 pounds)
– Medicine ball (5-8 pounds)
– A method for doing cardio that you enjoy (e.g. treadmill, mini trampoline, stationary bike, etc.)
3. How many workouts per week will we do? How long is each work out?
During #FitCommit, we will work out 5 times per week, at 50-60 minutes per session. The time of day you work out will be up to you. A full breakdown of minutes for warm-up, cardio, weights, and so on, is provided within the program.
I offer two weekly training schedules for you to choose from, so you decide when your two rest days fall.
4. How do I integrate the #FitCommit training schedule into my current workout routine?
Anyone can incorporate the #FitCommit training program into their current workouts using it as a tool to switch up their current regimens. Sometimes we get stuck or plateau so placing this workout regimen in the mix will help offset that. You can simply select the entire routine of your choice, for example a Lower Body Workout or you can hand pick exercises of your choosing and mix them into your routine. As I do the exercises along with everyone else during the 4 week challenge, I will be posting what I am doing and how I have changed the exercise to accommodate my goals and fitness level. This will be a big learning experience for all.
1. Are vegan and vegetarian recipes included in #FitCommit?
Yes! I have added symbols to each recipe and each day of the weekly menu plans, indicating which meals and snacks are meat-free, dairy-free, gluten-free and grain-free. Throughout some recipes, substitutions are given on how to modify the recipe to suit your lifestyle.
As a bonus, I've also included a separate section of alternative recipes, keeping the above dietary restrictions in mind so you have even more options!
Since the core of this program is to ultimately turn 4 weeks of #FitCommit habits into an enduring approach and outlook on fitness and nutrition, there are also points throughout the weeks where you are encouraged to build your own meal and snacks, using Eat-Clean-approved ingredients. Fitness Commitment is very flexible in this respect.
2. Can I follow the weekly menu plans if I am sensitive to gluten and/or grain-free?
Check out my answer the above question – same applies to gluten and grain free diets!
3. What if I'm allergic to nuts?
Simply omit nuts where they are called for and/or substitute with seeds (if safe to consume).
4. How do will I know when to eat and what to eat, relative to my workouts?
Pre- and post-workout nutrition suggestions are included within #FitCommit. This includes both when to eat relative to your workouts, and snack suggestions.

RPT-FEATURE-Slum cooker protects environment, helps poor
03 Apr 2009 12:04:04 GMT
Source: Reuters
By Barry Moody
NAIROBI, April 3 (Reuters) - Kenya's huge and squalid slums don't have much of anything, except mountains of trash that fill rivers and muddy streets, breeding disease.
Now Kenyan designers have built a cooker that uses the trash as fuel to feed the poor, provide hot water and destroy toxic waste, as well as curbing the destruction of woodlands.
After nine years of development, the prototype "Community Cooker" is close to being rolled out in overcrowded refugee camps as well as slums around the country where the filth encourages diseases including cholera.
Invented by Nairobi architect Jim Archer, the cooker combines simplicity with the capacity to confront several environmental challenges simultaneously. The design was highly commended at the World Architecture Festival in Barcelona last year.
The prototype is working in Nairobi's Kibera slum, said to be the biggest in Africa, where around 800,000 people live.

The World Unseen
The World Unseen
The West met the wealthiness of the East after it took great steps towards developing industrialization. It is very clear to everyone how this process took place... The West gained more power by ignoring the values and cultures of the countries it exploited. As the West tried to make up for their exploitation they were faced with a society who lost their cultural values and was forced to speak another language. He began sarcastically explaining everyone and everything his camera captured toworld, with his microphone in his hand. It was obvious that his intentions weren't to understand and explain those cultures. His intentions were to entertain people on TV and to deliver the message that stated; "Their situation would have been a lot worse ifwe hadn't come here in the past," from time to time.

|Are there any pre requisites for this course?
|Australian Resident - No, International Student on a student Visa - Yes, you need to apply to a CRICOS approved provider, for more information go to the CRICOS website.
|What is Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)?
|Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is a way to use your existing skills and knowledge to get a formal qualification. Previously, the term was skills recognition.
It involves documenting and providing evidence of your current experience and having this and your knowledge assessed, taking into account other qualifications you may already have. It means you don't have to waste time learning things you already know how to do.
|Can anyone apply for RPL?
|Yes. Anyone can apply for RPL. What you need to pay will depend upon your circumstances.
|I have no qualifications from my industry but I have skills, knowledge and experience gained from working in that industry. What can I do to have these skills recognised?
|The RPL process takes into account all relevant skills, knowledge and experience that you have regardless of the way you got them. This includes experience and training you have gained through paid work, volunteer work or just life in general.
Through the RPL process, you may be able to gain the complete unit.
|Does RPL have the same requirements as other assessments?
|Yes. The RPL assessment process is as rigorous as any other assessment. However, the type of evidence that you need to provide may be different from normal class assessments.
Importantly though, the RPL process is flexible. You and your assessor will discuss and determine the evidence you can provide.
|What will RPL cost?
|What you need to pay will depend upon your circumstances. This will be advised at the time of application.
|How long will it take?
|This will depend on how much RPL you are applying for. Your assessor will be able to advise you on how much time it is likely to take you to complete your RPL process.
|How difficult is it for me to apply for RPL?
|After you discuss your skills, knowledge and work experience with your assessor to work out if RPL is right for you, applying the RPL and going through the assessment process should be straightforward.
We will
• provide you with information on the RPL process;
• help you with any forms that need to be completed;
• discuss the evidence required; and
• support you through the process.
|What is involved in the assessment process?
|Once you and your assessor agree that you are a suitable candidate for RPL you will be required to gather evidence which proves your competence. When you provide evidence you may be required to:
• answer questions about your work experience in an interview;
• demonstrate your skills and knowledge by completing practical tasks or showing your assessor how you would complete a task; and
• provide supporting evidence such as a resumé, job description, reports from employers/supervisors.
This evidence must confirm that you have shown competence over a period of time and can work under different conditions.
|If I need help at any time during the process, what can I do?
|Your training assessor is there to help you. Contact your assessor at any time, if you are not sure what to do or if you need help to gather evidence.
|What can I do if I am not happy with the result of my RPL application?
|If you are not happy with the outcome of your RPL application, we have a process to follow, ask your assessor for further information on this.
|If my application for RPL is unsuccessful, will I have to pay again if I enrol in the class?
|No. Your RPL application is the same as any enrolment and you should continue with completing your online course.
|I don't live in WA. Can I purchase and enrol in this course?
|Unfortunately, you cannot. You must be a resident of WA to purchase and enrol in this course.
|Why do I have to submit a Statutory Declaration for my White Card?
|Submitting a Statutory Declaration (Stat Dec) and valid Photo Identification (ID) is a regulatory requirement for the White Card Course. On completion of your White Card course you're required to submit a Stat Dec and valid ID, both signed by a Justice of the Peace or Commissioner of Declarations within Australia.
|Who can sign my Statutory Declaration and valid photo ID?
|Click here to see who can sign these documents.
|When will I receive my Statement of Attainment?
|As soon as you have been marked competent, you will receive an online Statement of Attainment in your etrainu account and via email. Many of our students provide this certification to their employers, while they are waiting for their White Card to arrive in the mail. Please note that we must receive your Stat Dec and valid ID via post or email before we can mark you as competent, as well as completing your validation phone call with one of our assessors.
|When will I get my White Card in the post?
|Due to the new delivery schedule of Australia Post, it may now take anywhere from 5-7 business days to receive your White Card for standard delivery. However, you may give us a call and we can provide you with your White Card number when you are marked off. Or, contact us when you send in your documentation and we can arrange for Express Post (next day delivery), at an additional cost of $10.00.
|Is the Western Australian White Card recognised in all states?
|All students who have successfully completed CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry will be issued with a nationally recognised Western Australian White Card.
|Can my employer reject the Western Australian White Card?
|Whilst the Western Australian White Card is recognised in all states, employers and work sites maintain the right to only allow employees with White Cards obtained in the same state as they are working in. We recommend checking with your employer before completing the course.
|Are international students permitted to complete our etrainu course?
|etrainu is not an approved CRICOS provider. In accordance with Education (international Student) ACT 2018 therefore if you are an international student on a student Visa, you are to apply for to a CRICOS approved provider. For more information refer to http://cricos.education.gov.au/
Students are provided with the following information during the course, to assist to build the breadth and depth of their knowledge in preparation for assessment:
The following assessment tools are used to determine a student's competence:
To be deemed competent in this unit, you are required to correctly answer 100% of all online questions in ALL assessment stages. When undertaking online assessments you will have three attempts to answer the assessment questions correctly before the course assessment is locked. Once you have been unlocked by one of our help desk staff, you will then have one further attempt before being locked out again and our help desk staff unlocking your assessment. On your third lockout, our assessor is notified and will contact you within 24-48 hours to discuss further. After your 6th lockout, the continuance of training is at the absolute discretion of the RTO Manager.

Concerns Over Possible Return of Vicarious Liability
Auto lessors and lenders have been protected from vicarious liability by law since 2005, but there are concerns that the law could be overturned. Vicarious liability allows a crash victim to collect damages from the owner of a vehicle that has been rented or leased. The American Financial Services Association is asking the U.S. House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure not to overturn the law protecting auto leasing companies.

I have just finished the third book of the Larsson's trilogy, and I'd love to have a discussion here with those of you who have read them. If you aren't interested in the books, sorry. This thread isn't for you. If you are planning to read them or are reading them now, please don't go on. Otherwise I will ruin them for you, which of course I don't want to do! So...beware before reading on.
The books were addictive for me, and I enjoyed every minute of each of them. I believe I preferred the second book, but they were all wonderful. Here are a few of my thoughts:
1) Did you want Salander and Blomkvist to get together? I so much did and was disappointed by the ending of the third book. While I liked Figuerola, I had pulled for Salander to get together with Blomkvist. I liked Berger, too, though.
2) Do you think Niedermann was schizophrenic? Teleborian wrongly diagnosed Salander with that, but I was sure Niedermann was.
3) Didn't you find it totally implausible that Salander would get away with stealing more than $1 billion? Perhaps the next books were going to go into that. I hated that part about the books, as I liked Salander and didn't want to think of her as a crook.
4) Did you predict that Harriet Vanger was alive? I did, but I was surprised when it came up in the book.
5) Did you think that Stiegg Larsson and his live-in girlfriend (partner?) were the Blomkvist and Berger in the book? I sure did. Having read a little about his background, I think some of what he had to say was a part of his life, not quite so dramatically of course!
That's it for now. I'd love some discussion with other Larsson aficionados.
I read the first and found Salander to be totally unbelievable. She was way over the top and as much a psychopath as the two killers.
Give a man a fish and he can eat for one day; give a man a fishing pole and he will find an excuse to never work again.
Nollidj is power.
Therein we disagree. I found her honest (well, most of the time!) and refreshing. Think about her horrible background.
I, too, was totally addicted to these books once I started them. I downloaded the first into my iPad on a Tuesday and had finished it by Thursday. Instead of turning the iPad off and going to bed (it was past midnight), I downloaded the second and third books on the spot and started right in. I had finished Fire by Saturday, and if I hadn't had to go into the hospital for a knee operation at 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday, I would have finished Hornet's Nest by 1 or 2 a.m. that day. As it was, I had to finish the last 40 pages of HN in the hospital, bit by bit, under the influence of drugs over three days.
BTW, I absolutely love reading on the iPad even better than I do on the Kindle. Proof--you will be interested in this, because not only can you increase the font size, but also, it is backlit, so you can read in the dark or dim lighting conditions, and also mess around with the brightness and contrast, type and background colors. I absolutely prefer reading on the iPad to reading the printed page or the Kindle page. Too bad that it's a waste of a Kindle. Perhaps I can resell the thing.
Back to the Larsson books, Kalleh, I thought Blomkvist's assessment of Salander as autistic was probably accurate. I was satisfied with the ending because I didn't think she was really right for Blomkvist. Salander was a wounded, damaged personality, probably incapable of a normal relationship, and both of them had such a casual attitude towards sex, one that seems more in tune with older adolescents than supposedly mature adults, that I don't think it boded well for anything more long-term or permanent. I saw Salandar as a sort of idiot savant who, though she probably shouldn't have been in such a restrictive guardianship situation through the three books, needed to find someone who would take better care of her than a Blomkvist, who probably over the long haul would have dropped her completely. I liked that they seem to have ended up as friends. That was OK with me.
Yes Niedermann was definitely whacko, whatever the technical definition you want to put on it. I actually loved it that Salander got away with grand theft on a huge scale, since the bad guy she stole from deserved it, though if it were real life, yes, she should go to jail for this and also make restitution. But since it is fiction, we don't need to worry that what she did was wrong! Possibly I should feel the same way about Blomkvist's casual attitude towards relationships, since it is fiction--but I don't.
No, I did not predict that Harriet Vanger was alive, so that was a nice surprise, nor did I predict the details of why she chose to disappear herself--all very grim. I understand the films are true to the books, and not sure I want to see those parts. Among my favorite grim parts of the total trilogy, though, was the very creative tattoo Salander inflicted upon her guardian's abdomen!
For me these books were not only a great escape but also a great tribute to strong women and their ability to prevail where others miss the boat, or the point. Not sure about whether these characters mirror Larsson and his live-in partner. I'm just very sad he's gone and that there are no more books, except for a possible 4th manuscript found among his things.
I finished the first book but hesitate to start on the next one. My wife asked about "Tattoo" and I told her it took a long time to get into the story. She began it but tossed it after fifty pages.
I understand the book is being filmed now in Hollywood, even though it has already been successfully made in Europe. I don't understand why they can't take the foreign version (f it's not in English)and dub it if necessary instead of trying to remake it for the American audience. That never works. You know it will all build to the chase and crash scene with "Fast and Furious" CGI effects totally out of scale with the rest of the movie.
Give a man a fish and he can eat for one day; give a man a fishing pole and he will find an excuse to never work again.
Nollidj is power.
Yes, autistic came up, but I think it is more probable that she had Asperger's. People with that can be quite functional, and I think she would have become so. After all, so much happened in her background. But whatever. I could also understand Blomkvist not going for her, I suppose. I thought it was pretty clear, though, that Salander wasn't a psychopath.
I, too, enjoyed the tattoo scene!
It drove my daughter crazy that they only talked about an iBook because she hates Apple.
Agreed that I, too, am sad about Larsson's untimely death. I heard he had outlined 10 books, and the fourth one, albeit not fleshed out completely, is in some "iBook." Let's have it!
Proof, I'd read all three were I you! WM, which of the three did you prefer? I think I liked the second one best.
BTW, I thought the way the court case was handled was interesting, and I wonder how true to life that is (for Sweden). It surely wouldn't happen here where the judge or lawyers would ask questions of each other or of people sitting in the audience, but maybe that's how they do things in Sweden.
Where did you hear about this? There are several different formats for electronic books. Currently there are no Stieg Larsson books in Apple's store. If the fourth book is going to be published electronically, Apple might have nothing to do with it.This message has been edited. Last edited by: goofy,
When would it have been "timely"?

Goofy, she's referring to the fact that in the trilogy, the two main characters, Blomkvist and Salander, both use Apple laptops--you know, the old, original, 10GB laptop, the iBook. Now iBooks is an app for iPhone and iPad. I have read books in both the iBook app and the Kindle app for iPad on my iPad. We used to have an iBook laptop around here someplace, but it's now a doorstop, or worse than that, missing shelf clutter...
One nice thing about buying a dead tree copy is it never crashes.

Oh wow, so I completely misunderstood
Yes, WM, that is what I meant.
I was surprised that proof didn't care much for the first book, but then neither did my youngest daughter. She isn't sure if she'll read the other two or not. Yet, my oldest daughter devoured them like I did.
Kalleh, I think Asperger's is a type of autism, and that is the kind of autism the Salander character seemed to have. She was high-functioning, but socially disconnected. As for my favorite of the three books, I would have to say that it was the second book for me also. But without "Tattoo," there would be no "Played With Fire." And "Hornet's Nest" was really just an extension of "Fire." So, I like to think of them all as one gigantic book.
There's no accounting for taste and preference, but I've heard very few people make anything but extremely positive comments about these novels. Of course, I haven't been looking for naysayers either. And now I'm on a "Swedish Thriller" email list from Amazon.com. Who knew there were so many Swedish thriller writers?
I'm a Swedish writer but no one seems particularly thrilled at what I have to say.
Give a man a fish and he can eat for one day; give a man a fishing pole and he will find an excuse to never work again.
Nollidj is power.
Yes, there is a relationship between autism and Asperger's, and, yes, Asperger's is more high functioning. While Rainman was a movie, it was quite realistic about what autism is like in adults. With Asperger's people can keep a job, but there are relationship problems, as was the case with Salander.
I, too, saw them as one gigantic book! I just hope the fourth one gets printed!
Chiming in late here--
had great fun with this trilogy. Tatoo had a bit of trouble getting the plot synched up with the character development or something; I tell people to give it 100 pp. to really pick up steam. I "read" the 2 remaaining books by ear, having ordered the [fabulous] audio books from the UK. The narrator a Swedish actor with fluent British English gave a fine rendition (understated, just as I imagine Larsson would have liked) & I enjoyed hearing all the Swedish names & place-names pronounced. These may have been abridged-- I was in a hurry, needed my Larsson fix! so I expect I'll read the actual books when I get hungry again...
Here is a review I find I for the most part agree with.
Esopecially "This is easily one of the worst books I've ever read. And bear in mind that I've read John Grisham."
Give a man a fish and he can eat for one day; give a man a fishing pole and he will find an excuse to never work again.

2018 Ford Mustang GT Coupe Specs and Price – Drawing close to the transitional period of our long-term Ford Mustang's 40,000-length review, the 2016 GT consistently mainly make certain you car proprietors with its rev-satisfied, 435-hp 5.-liter V-8 and menacing, blacked-out mien. It is Bridgestone Blizzak winter season car tires are taken out, and the recuperation of .94 g of lateral knowledge from the Pirelli P nothing summertime time rubber signifies we are to tearing up territory highways and freeway interchanges.
2018 Ford Mustang GT Coupe Redesign
In spite of it is a lot more advanced, the international design, the most present Mustang maintain and feel all-Us at cardiovascular system, which includes one particular of our personal qualities, the sloping fastback roofline that evokes that of the very first modern technology Mustang from the midsection of the-1960s. It is a perfect approach to obtain an unexpected select-me-up. The new expanded-range trip even delivers improved our regular energy economy to 20 mpg, which is one mile per gallon a whole lot better than the EPA's blended standing and adequate for 320 ml of range on the entire start highway.
A handful of motorists has noted about the new Mustang's characteristics, apart from not being able to appreciate the car a lot more simply because of winter season environment conditions and the great fitment of Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 winter season car tires. Although extremely encouraging, the Recaro seats have pulled the loudest gripes, possibly also mainly because of the environment in the distance to our HQ. The position lack home heating system components together with their enormous part bolsters might be constraint action, particularly when modifying the half a dozen-pace manual although utilizing a big jacket. Nevertheless, the thrones have outstanding lumbar help, as properly as our most popular front side travelers have respected their ease and comfort more than broadened hauls. Irrespective of our GT's average range sneaking as significantly as more than 300 miles on a tank, it continues to remarkably simple to vacant the Mustang's 16-gallon source in city traveling. Other minimum quibbles middle about cabin ergonomics, these kinds of as the engine ignition switch on the online video game playing system also obtaining simple to hit unintentionally (without a doubt, that happened).
The guide wallets expand grave into the door sectors, which is high proper until you decline to continue to keep a document from a particular point and can not view it hiding because of an area. As a result of its speed range and split rear seat, the vast bulk of our prolonged termer's journey stays restricted to schlepping near to metro Detroit as a Personal computer. It is for a for a longer time treks had taken it to Indiana, Chi-community, and Frankenmuth in vital Michigan, with the 2nd alternative two trips assessing the Mustang's winter time mettle as it capably maintained whiteout snowsqualls and icy roadways with small problems. As the weather will end up hotter, the Mustang is more than likely to quest further afield.
2018 Ford Mustang GT Coupe Engine
The most current Mustang is an entirely new day-day time factor than its forerunners, which is crucial because of the fact of its new around the world goal. The journey is much more comfortable and created with the multilink rear suspensions, which on its own established a new adjusting indicates for the front side part strut established-up. And the interior is a lot more insulated and transformed out, in spite of the fact that the electric rear windows simply back once again trainer passengers need to remove their heads before getting into. Additional digital assets, including adaptive high-end cruise, manage and blind-spot notify, are available today, as is a 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-pipe. The car's specifications are much softer plus much more transferring than simply right before, and the design adopts a whole lot of Ford's company appearance in spite of the proven fact that nevertheless recalling Mustangs formerly. Enhancements for 2016 are confined to the addition of Ford's substantially-improved Sync 3 infotainment specialized on Premium models, coupled with new and nearly secret-change indications integrated into the GT's hood air vents.
2018 Ford Mustang GT Coupe Price and Release Date
Provided on Higher high-quality variations is an increased Shaker music system, voice-activated the menu, and the car earlier mentioned user equipment. We handed down all of that but completed choose the $1595 black color leather-based-dependent-dependent Recaro sports seating, which is comfy prepared and scarcity the home heating system and air conditioner of the traditional room. Also, they provide the driver with the required assistance to create use of our car's other selection: the $2495 GT Performance package. That bundles larger size dimensions, 50 percent a dozens-piston Brembo front braking method, a 3.73:1 rear axle percent with a Torsen minimum-tumble differential, a more complicated revocation setup, a larger measured, calculated radiator, chassis and strut-tower braces.

I begin every class by asking the students "What are you going to learn today?" Students respond by referring to the Essential Question, "How can I demonstrate science and engineering literacy?". This EQ is included on their Unit Plan and on the front board. This may seem like a simple way to start a class, but there is a lot of power in it. Watch this video to learn more.
As the previous lessons in the unit have been designed to help students work towards mastery on the skills in the Unit Plan, I ask students to reevaluate their self assessments from the previous day. Students rank themselves on each of the skills included in the Unit Plan. Students rank themselves on a scale of 1 to 4 (4 being mastery). Students will continue to update these scores over the course of the unit. I emphasize to them that it is ok not to be at a "4". Learning is about growth! We will use this starting point to track the growth in their learning. This video not only includes insight into how to implement this in your classroom, but also provides reasoning for why it is such a powerful tool for student growth!
Notice in the student work below, that the student updates his scores over the course of the unit as he grows in his level of mastery.
Explain that over the next few days, the students are going to have to evaluate the effectiveness of a model to represent global ocean currents and global wind patterns. Students will look at the aspects of the model that accurately represent oceanic and atmospheric circulation in the real world and those aspects that are either missing or misrepresented. In order to do this, students will have to do research. They will watch videos, read articles, and perform lab stations to build and develop their understanding of global ocean currents and global winds. Then, students have to make a claim about whether the model is effective or ineffective and support that claim with evidence from multiple sources.
This seems overwhelming! However, I explain to the students that we are going to model this process and that with all of the work we have done in the school year, I know they have to tools to complete this task.
I begin by showing the class a demonstration that could serve as a model of global ocean currents. I place warm water in a plastic tote. In a separate cup, I place red food coloring in hot water. In one end of the tote, I pour the hot, red water, and in the other side of the tote I place several blue ice cubes (I simply add food coloring to an ice cube tray the night before). To watch me introduce this to my students, check out this video!
In this model, the blue water moves along the bottom of the tote towards the hot, red side while the hot, red water moves along the top towards the cold blue side. Then, a convection cycle begins as the blue begins to rise and the red begins to sink. (For more about how to complete this model, check out this video.) Ask students to share any observations they are making about the model and the causes of what is occurring.
Explain that this could be used as a model to represent global ocean currents and that we are going to evaluate the effectiveness of this as a model.
Provide students with the "Oceans density" article.
In my class, when we read text, we use something called The Ladder of Discourse. The Ladder of Discourse is a strategy I use in my class to help students think critically as they read. For middle school students, informational reading can just become words on a page. The Ladder of Discourse is a way to help students recognize what they should be thinking about as they read so that they can gain an understanding of the text. (For some greater insight into how to implement this strategy, watch this video!)
The levels of the Ladder of Discourse are "Tweets" (text to self connections), "Huh?'s" (questions or concepts they do not understand), "Found It" (finding answers to questions through context clues or finding science answers), and "Discourse" (combining ideas to think beyond the text). The resource Ladder of Discourse: Description of Rungs provides background about the "rungs" students use when reading.
Students in my class have used this strategy throughout the entire school year. In this lesson, I take the opportunity to review and revisit the meaning and application of the strategy. Before I have students read the article, I ask the class what each rung of the ladder means. Especially in this situation, I reinforce that they are reading for the purpose of evaluating the model we just witnessed. So, their "Found it!'s" are going to be similarities and differences they find between the text and the model itself. Then, I provide them with time to read the article and talk to the text.
I wanted to include the example above to show some things to do and not to do when climbing the ladder of discourse. First, you are going to notice that the student above spent a large amount of time underlining and circling almost everything on the paper. Watch out for this! Students can confuse highlighting and underlining as "talking to the text" when it is not. You will notice that this student included Tweets such as "I have heard of density before" and Huhs such as "How does the density of sea water play a role?". You will also notice that the student found the answer to this question later in the article and wrote "Found it!". However, this student is missing Found It!'s that show that she is identifying similarities and differences between the text and the model. This is a hard skill, and students need feedback in order to determine how to do this. In terms of Discourse, this student makes an interesting connection to the idea that a boat might float higher in an ocean than the same boat would float in freshwater.
When students are finished reading, I provide each table group with posters that have a Ladder of Discourse drawn on them. I ask that each student adds sticky notes to the appropriate rung of the ladder based on the notes they made as they talked to the text. Students share their ideas as they add their sticky notes.
Then, I ask students to create a Venn diagram that will help us organize our ideas as we research global ocean currents. I have them label one side of the Venn "Global Ocean Currents" and the other side "The Model". Next, I have each table focus on the "Found it!" rung. From the ideas generated here, I have the students add similarities and differences to their Venn.
Then, I play a short clip from an Ocean Circulation video by Study.com. I only play from 1:22 to 1:54. I explain that as I play the clip, they should add to their Venn any new information they pick up. Again, their purpose is to watch the video and look for similarities and differences between the model and actual global ocean currents. After I play the video the first time, most students do not write anything down. I explain that happens to me as well. Often when trying to view a video for information, I have to watch the video a second time to find what I need. Then, I say, "I am going to play it again. As you watch this time, add any new information you gain about global ocean currents that you can add to the Venn."
*Keep in mind that the example above is a completed student Venn. Later in this lesson, students watch more videos and read more articles to add evidence to their Venn. At this section of the lesson, your students will not have that many examples. However, I thought it was important to show you here where your students are headed.
Using videos, visual demonstrations, and articles to support a claim provide the students with a deep understanding of the model. In this video, I describe the importance of using multiple media for evidence.
After students have finished adding to their Venn diagrams, I call a group of students to a table to model the evaluation protocol they will follow later in the lesson. In my classroom, we call this a "Fishbowl". A group of students models a protocol while the remaining students stand around the group and observe the successes and needs of improvement of the group.
Evaluation Protocol:
1. Provide 20 seconds of wait time for students in the group to "evaluate the effectiveness of the water convection box as a model of how the unequal heating and rotation of the Earth cause patterns of oceanic circulation." At the end of the 20 seconds, each student will hold up a "thumbs up", "thumbs down", or a "thumbs neutral" as a representation of their evaluation.
2. One student with a "thumbs up" or "thumbs neutral" shares one piece of evidence that supports the idea that the convection box is an effective model.
3. Another student summarizes the evidence presented and asks any follow up questions if needed. (The student that summarizes does not have to have a "thumbs up"!)
4. Students add to their Venn Diagram any new evidence that arose during discussion that will help with their claim.
5. Repeat steps 2 – 4 until all students with a "thumbs up" or "thumbs neutral" have shared their evidence supporting the effectiveness of the model.
6. Repeat steps 2 – 5 for all students with a "thumbs down" or "thumbs neutral" to share evidence against the effectiveness of the model.
7. Once all evidence has been presented, provide 20 seconds of wait time and have the group consider the original question again ("Evaluate the effectiveness of the water convection box as a model of how the unequal heating and rotation of the Earth cause patterns of oceanic circulation.") At the end of the 20 seconds, each student will again hold up a "thumbs up", "thumbs down", or a "thumbs neutral" as a representation of their evaluation after hearing all of the evidence shared by the group.
Want to watch this protocol in action? Watch this video that includes not only my reasons for using this strategy, but also includes classroom footage!
After watching the protocol unfold, the students outside the fishbowl should reflect on the key aspects of the protocol, the things that worked well for the group, and the things that needed improvement.
I explain that once students have completed all research about global oceans, that they will be following this protocol as a way to share information and make a claim.
To close, I remind students that they will be writing an ABCDE paragraph in order to defend their claim about the effectiveness of the model. I ask students to describe what each letter of the acronym means and share an example of what a student might write in their final evaluation writing piece. The ABCDE Paragraph is something that my students have used many times throughout the year, so this closure is review. If this is your first ABCDE paragraph, it will take time to teach. The resources includes a Quick Guide to the ABCDE Paragraph.
A - Assertion: Make a claim. ("The model is/is not effective at representing global ocean currents.")
B - Background: Provide the reader with background they will need to understand the arguments you are going to present. ("In the model, the students placed water in a tote and then dropped how and cold water in each end.)
C - Citation: Cite text. (According to "Ocean Density", the currents in the ocean are driven by temperature and density.)
D - Discussion: Explain how your citations support your claim. ("In the model, temperature did drive the motion of the water as the cold water sank and the warm water rose in a convection current.")
***This paragraph will be a variation of the ABCDE paragraph. As students will cite multiple sources, this paragraph will end up being an ABCDCDCDE paragraph.
E - End: Conclusion sentence. ("In conclusion, the water convection box was/was not an effective model for representing global ocean currents.")
Remind students that in yesterday's lesson they began evaluating a model's effectiveness for representing global ocean currents. Explain that they will continue this work for the next two days.
Help students get to the Global Ocean Current and Global Wind Pattern Website. Show students how to navigate the pages on the site. There are two pages - one dedicated to global ocean currents and one dedicated to global wind patterns. Each of these pages provides the directions to research and complete the station. For each, students will read articles, watch videos, and perform a lab station.
First, I ask that students complete the Global Ocean Currents Page. I show them that the Global Oceans Article linked on the page is the article that they already read and that the first linked video clip is the link we watched together. I ask them to continue with the directions on this page. With each link, students should add to their Venn diagram. When they have finished all of the links, their group should complete the Evaluation Protocol that was modeled in the Fishbowl Activity. Following that discussion, students move right into the Global Winds Page and complete the same procedure
**You will notice that the website references an "ABCDE" paragraph. Details and explanation about this format of writing is included in both the "Closure" of this lesson and in the "A Look at Student Work" section.
Both the Global Ocean Currents and Global Winds Pages ask students to complete a lab station that will serve as the model they are evaluating. More information about these are included below.
Global Ocean Currents Model: Water Convection Box
Global Winds Model: Smoke Convection Box
Safety Precautions:
Students must wear goggles while performing this task.
If any item is on fire and a student is concerned, students should place that object in the sink.
As students move through the stations, be sure to check in with each group for understanding! Here is some classroom footage that might give you some insight into some topics you might check in with your students about.
After students complete the lab stations, graphic organizers, and evaluation protocol discussions, I assign students one of models to evaluate. Once I assign each student either the global oceans model or global winds model to evaluate, I provide them with a tips page that can aid in organizing their thoughts. Then, I provide students with time to write their responses!
Global Ocean Currents Model Student Work: In the video, I show some student work, break down the ABCDE paragraph format, and show different levels of writers' works. While the video only goes through some examples of responses to the global ocean currents model, I have also included example Venn diagrams and written responses of student works for the global wind responses in the resource section.
