These worksheets, provided by Barbara Gilbert, review mathematics concepts that are necessary in physics, including linear equations, quadratic equations, unit conversion, significant figures, and trigonometry.

This  is a collection of links to free ESOL websites. These are the top ones, as reviewed and reported on by my students, from over a decade. Dozens of websites were reviewed and these made the final list.

Refresh your writing assignment by asking students to address a new audience, purpose, genre, or medium of communication as they explain their knowledge of content. This handout will explain what it means to create a new rhetorical situation for your assignment.

Purpose of this essay is to reinforce student's understanding of Rhetorical Strategies and how they are used in everyday works. 

This is an essay prompt that asks students to write a rhetorical analysis of Roco Belic's documentary, Happy.

This is the start of a lecture series about Rhinoceros modeling techniques (german).

With this tutorial, I want to make everyone confident and prepared into an interview room ( a virtual interview room, if necessary). I know you have the talent and skills necessary for the position you applied for; I know you will be the best fit for the position; the preparation you complete before and during your interview will ensure that the employer knows this.

Students are presented with a real-life problem of flooding and erosion in the town of Simonton. They must use historical dischage data to determine the future risk of flooding. They must also use historical map data to asses the risk of future losses due to erosion. Using these data, they must dertermine the feasibility of levee systems proposed by the Corp of Engineers. Lastly, they must discuss their assumption and possible sources of error.

Rockin Russian is designed to give students exposure to the Russian language and culture through the medium of Russian music videos. Students are able to perfect their grammar while rocking out to music videos from Russia's pop stars. Based on Russian music videos from MTV Russia, Rockin' Russian is supplemented with exercise materials focusing on pronunciation, vocabulary development, grammar and cultural features. Parts of the videos are embedded into exercises in each category that students can revisit, strengthening their language skills.

This activity helps learners see the elastic properties of rocks by actually bending marble. How rocks respond to stress is a fundamental concept, critical to forming explanatory models in the geosciences (e.g., elastic rebound theory). Whereas learners are likely to have lots of experience with rocks, few will have directly experienced them behaving elastically. As a result of this "missed experience", most learners conceptualize rocks as rigid solids; a concept which generally serves students well in everyday life but impedes learning about particular geologic concepts.

Students will understand the role agriculture plays in determining the wealth of a nation, document the role agriculture played in American history, and describe the impact environmental and agricultural systems will have on the future world population.

The transformation of massive rock to sediment (i.e., gravel) is a process of nature not confined to Earth. A qualitative introduction to the forces of weathering and erosion that control the development of fragment shape in gravel provides insight into fundamental processes spanning planetary bodies in our solar system. A few images and video snips provide visual evidence that students observe to learn about these sedimentary processes. In a short exercise that may be used in lecture or a laboratory session, students make observations, write descriptions, discuss issues with peers, and use hypotheses to extrapolate terrestrial sedimentary science to another planetary body. Questions are arranged in order of, and span, the hierarchy of cognitive skills. This design should make this exercise accessible to students across a variety of levels, from non-science to geoscience majors.

This is an interactive resource that describes the objects and artists of Rome. It includes a historical timeline, an interactive map, lists of artists, patrons, and a short bibliography. The only drawback is that the biographies of the artists are linked to Boston College library and not available to others. The list itself is useful for students as it includes names not usually part of lower level art history courses. This would be a resource that could be made available to students as part of a larger course on Early Renaissance art and culture.

The prime objective of rural sociology should be to make a scientific, systematic and comprehensive study of the rural social organisation of its structure, functions and objective tendencies of development and on the basis of such study, to discover the laws of its development.

Donner aux élèves un référentiel lors de la composition d'un récit fantastique. Pour permettre aux élèves de bien suivre le schéma narratif, il est recommandé de leur donner accès à un référentiel pour leur permettre de bien suivre et de ne pas oublier une étape lors de leur brouillon et de la rédaction de leur composition.
