Goethe's Faust Sculptural depiction of Mephistopheles bewitching the students in the scene Auerbachs Keller from Faust at the entrance of today's pub Auerbachs Keller in Leipzig Goethe completed a preliminary version of Part One in 1806. The 1808 publication was followed by the revised 1828–29 edition, which was the last to be edited by Goethe himself. The earliest forms of the work, known as the Urfaust, were developed between 1772 and 1775; however, the details of that development are no longer entirely clear[clarification needed]. Goethe finished writing Faust Part Two in 1831. The First Part of the Tragedy[edit] Faust I, first edition, 1808 The principal characters of Faust Part One include: Faust Part One takes place in multiple settings, the first of which is heaven. In Faust's study, the poodle transforms into the devil (Mephistopheles). When the devil tells Faust to sign the pact with blood, Faust complains that the devil does not trust Faust's word of honor. The Second Part of the Tragedy[edit]

Neurological Gateway drug Another gateway hypothesis covers that a gateway effect may be caused by the "common factors" involved in using any illegal drug.

The Ultimate Guide To Apple’s Presence In Education Added by Jeff Dunn on 2012-08-31 All eyes are on education right now. Whether it’s in the political theater or the venture capitalists, everyone has set their sights on the future leaders of tomorrow. Some companies, like Apple , have long realized the potential of this demographic and have specifically targeted them with iPads, iPod Touches, and other devices . In an effort to share exactly how Apple is targeting students, MDG Advertising whipped up a thought-provoking infographic. Smart devices are having a real impact on both literacy and learning levels.

The Sun Also Rises The first edition of The Sun Also Rises published in 1926 by Scribner's, with dust jacket illustrated by Cleonike Damianakes. The Hellenic jacket design "breathed sex yet also evoked classical Greece".[1] The Sun Also Rises is a 1926 novel written by American author Ernest Hemingway about a group of American and British expatriates who travel from Paris to the Festival of San Fermín in Pamplona to watch the running of the bulls and the bullfights. An early and enduring modernist novel, it received mixed reviews upon publication. Hemingway began writing the novel on his birthday (21 July) in 1925, finishing the draft manuscript barely two months later in September. The novel is a roman à clef; the characters are based on real people of Hemingway's circle, and the action is based on real events. Background[edit] A few months later, in December 1925, Hemingway and his wife spent the winter in Schruns, Austria, where he began revising the manuscript extensively. Publication history[edit]
Rigaudon The rigaudon (also spelled rigadon, rigadoon) is a French baroque dance with a lively duple metre. The music is similar to that of a bourrée, but the rigaudon is rhythmically simpler with regular phrases (eight measure phrases are most common). Also spelled Rigadoon, it is a sprightly 17th-century French folk dance for couples.

This is a remarkable figure and illustrates how many ‘decision makers’ have chosen the iPad as a tool for learning. As we integrate the iPad into schools it is worth reflecting how the initial setup and training can have a real impact on the success or failure of a 1:1 programme. The recommendations below are borne out of a desire to help teachers without overwhelming them and to model good practice to students. Early engagement can be facilitated by linking email accounts to the iPad and suggesting users sign up to apps like Zite and Flipboard. In my opinion it is crucial to model good practice particularly when the distraction element of the device is apparent. It has become clear that because of iPad introduction educators are having to consider pedagogy. It is very easy to wow an audience with what an iPad can do in the classroom but that leads to a ‘show’ with no follow up. Perhaps the most important. Like this:
A Farewell to Arms A Farewell to Arms is about a love affair between the expatriate American Henry and Catherine Barkley against the backdrop of the First World War, cynical soldiers, fighting and the displacement of populations. The publication of A Farewell to Arms cemented his stature as a modern American writer,[1] became his first best-seller, and is described by biographer Michael Reynolds as "the premier American war novel from that debacle World War I. Plot summary[edit] Censorship[edit] In early editions, the words "shit", "fuck", and "cocksucker" were replaced with dashes.[4] There are at least two copies of the first edition in which Hemingway re-inserted the censored text by hand, so as to provide a corrected text. Background and publication history[edit] Biographer Reynolds, however, writes that Hemingway was not involved in the battles described; because his previous novel, The Sun Also Rises, was written as a roman à clef, readers assumed A Farewell to Arms to be autobiographical.[2]
Rideau Canal The Rideau Canal, also known as the Rideau Waterway, connects the city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, on the Ottawa River to the city of Kingston, Ontario, on Lake Ontario. It is 202 kilometres in length.[1] The name Rideau, French for "curtain," is derived from the curtain-like appearance of the Rideau River's twin waterfalls where they join the Ottawa River.[2] The canal system uses sections of major rivers, including the Rideau and the Cataraqui, as well as some lakes. The Rideau Waterway is governed by Parks Canada under the Canadian Heritage Rivers System. History[edit] An engraving of the Rideau Canal locks at Bytown The initial purpose of the Rideau Canal was military, as it was intended to provide a secure supply and communications route between Montreal and the British naval base in Kingston. The canal also served a commercial purpose. The canal work started in 1826, and it took a total of 6 years to complete by 1832. Construction deaths[edit] Recognition[edit] Waterway[edit]
What can you do with an iPad in the classroom? It’s a tool, it’s a tool, it’s a tool. The iPad is not going to replace teachers or ‘fix’ education. There is a cost implication that must be taken into account and only an educator will know if it is right for their students. Indeed the cost-benefit analysis for an establishment must take into account a host of factors when considering iPad use in the classroom. However, if there are iPads in the classroom, there are a number of applications that can enhance learning and assist the educator in developing student skills. Assessment for Learning The most valuable weapon in an educators arsenal is feedback. Applications such as eclicker, Socrative and Nearpod have the ability to provide instant feedback for every child in the classroom. Collaboration Setting a collaborative task is a tried and tested technique to allow students to question each other in the pursuit of an answer. Practical Use These are a few of the applications that have been made a little easier by the use of an iPad
Divine Comedy Dante shown holding a copy of the Divine Comedy, next to the entrance to Hell, the seven terraces of Mount Purgatory and the city of Florence, with the spheres of Heaven above, in Michelino's fresco On the surface, the poem describes Dante's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven;[4] but at a deeper level, it represents, allegorically, the soul's journey towards God.[5] At this deeper level, Dante draws on medieval Christian theology and philosophy, especially Thomistic philosophy and the Summa Theologica of Thomas Aquinas.[6] Consequently, the Divine Comedy has been called "the Summa in verse".[7] The work was originally simply titled Commedìa and was later christened Divina by Giovanni Boccaccio. Structure and story[edit] Detail of a manuscript in Milan's Biblioteca Trivulziana (MS 1080), written in 1337 by Francesco di ser Nardo da Barberino, showing the beginning of Dante's Comedy. The last word in each of the three parts of the Divine Comedy is stelle ("stars"). Inferno[edit]
