Italian Grammar Introduction to Gender and Number

Italian Grammar Introduction to Gender and Number Suzy S. When it comes to building a solid Italian grammar foundation, gender and number are two very important concepts one must learn.  Unfortunately, they are also very troublesome for beginner students. Below Italian teacher, Nadia B. gives a quick and easy introduction to the two concepts Ready to explore Italian grammar? For students, gender and number are often the most challenging concepts to understand, since they are used very differently in Italian than in English. However, with a little explanation and practice, you will be using them with ease in no time. So, lets get started! Gender In Italian, nouns and adjectives can be either masculine or feminine. Usually the gender of the noun can be identified by the ending. For example,  if the noun ends in -o  its generally masculine, and if the noun ends in -a, it is generally feminine. In the plural, nouns ending in -i are generally masculine, and nouns ending in -e are feminine. See examples below. Masculine: il ragazzo (the boy) / i ragazzi (the boys) il libro (the book) / i libri (the books) lalbero (the tree) / gli alberi (the trees) Feminine: la ragazza (the girl) / le ragazze (the girls) la gonna (the skirt) / le gonne (the skirts) la penna (the pen) / le penne (the pens) There are exceptions to the above-mentioned Italian grammar rule. For example, nouns that denote inanimate objects  are randomly assigned a gender.  It is best to continually practice these words in order to memorize them and their gender.  See examples below. larte (the art) feminine il bicchiere (the glass) masculine Also, dont be fooled by nouns that are commonly shortened, as their long form reveals their  true gender. See examples below. la bici=la bicicletta (the bicycle) la foto=la fotografia (the photograph) la moto= la motocicletta (the motorcycle) Number (Singular and Plural) Once youve learned how to identify whether a noun is masculine or feminine, another important component to learning Italian  grammar is how number affects nouns. Feminine Nouns and Adjectives When we pluralize a noun, it generally follows the rule that the -a ending in feminine singular nouns changes to -e, and the -o ending in masculine singular nouns changes to -i.  The same applies to adjectives. See examples below. la donna (the woman) becomes le donne (the women) la  città (the city) becomes le  città (the cities) il letto  (the bed) becomes i letti (the beds) However, what happens when the ending is a little different to begin with?  If its a feminine singular noun or adjective that ends in -ca or -ga, we want to preserve the hard sound, therefore, the plural then ends in -che or -ghe. See examples below: la giacca (the jacket) becomes  le giacche (the jackets) la pianta larga (the wide sole) becomes le piante larghe (the wide soles) Feminine singular nouns that end in -cia or -gia drop the -i in the plural and thus the ending becomes -ce or -ge. This is to preserve the same sound and syllabication that occurs in the singular. See examples below. la faccia (the face)  becomes le facce (the faces) la spiaggia (the beach)  becomes le spiagge  (the beaches) The only exception to this rule is in the case of  la camicia  (the shirt) which retains its -i in the plural le camicie  (the shirts). If the stress lands on the -i in the -cia or -gia ending, though, then the noun retains the -i in the plural, with the ending -cie or -gie. See examples below. la pasticceria (the pastry shop) becomes le pasticcerie (the pastry shops) la bugia (the lie) becomes le bugie (the lies) Masculine Nouns and Adjectives For masculine nouns and adjectives, the ones that end in -co turn to -chi or -ci in the plural. The identifying factor is the accentuation if the stress is on the next-to-last syllable, the plural ending should be -chi. Nouns ending in -co that have the stress on the third-to-last syllable turn to -ci in the plural. See examples below. Il pacco (the package) becomes i pacchi (the packages) Il giocho (the game)  becomes i giochi (the games) Il medico (the doctor) becomes i medici (the doctors) il cucciolo stanco (the tired puppy)  becomes i cuccioli stanchi (the tired puppies) There are a few exceptions, though, like words originally from Greek and other ones that simply dont follow the rule. Here are some common words that are exceptions: lamico (the friend)  becomes gli amici (the friends) il greco (the Greek)  becomes i greci ( the Greeks) One last ending that changes from singular to plural is that of masculine nouns and adjectives ending in -go. These nouns change to -ghi in the plural. For example: Il dialogo (the dialogue)  becomes i dialoghi (the dialogues) Il capello lungo (the individual strand of long hair)  becomes i capelli lunghi ( the head of long hair) The only exception to this rule is nouns that end in -go that stem from a longer ending of -ologo. This ending creates a plural ending of -ologi. For example: Lo psicologo (the psychologist)  becomes gli psicologi (the psychologists) Il radiologo (the radiologist)  becomes i radiologi (the radiologists) While there are many different Italian grammar rules to remember, they are not as difficult to learn as they may seem. In fact, after seeing gender and number usage in context and using them yourself, you will soon be able to distinguish between all the possibilities. Work closely with your Italian tutor to come up with some fun exercises for you to better learn these complex Italian grammar rules. Nadia B. teaches Italian in New York, NY.

GCSE Poem Analysis The Yellow Palm by Robert Minhinnick

GCSE Poem Analysis The Yellow Palm by Robert Minhinnick English Literature GCSE Poem Analysis: The Yellow Palm by Robert Minhinnick What is it about? The poem is a colourful but sensitive account of various sights in Baghdad, each affecting to the poet, who travelled there in the late 1990s.   It describes the results of violence and implies a dreadful explosion without directly showing the reader. The Yellow Palm by Robert Minhinick As I made my way down Palestine Street I watched a funeral pass - all the women waving lilac stems around a coffin made of glass and the face of the man who lay within who had breathed a poison gas. As I made my way down Palestine Street I heard the call to prayer and I stopped at the door of the golden mosque to watch the faithful there but there was blood on the walls and the muezzin’s eyes were wild with his despair. As I made my way down Palestine Street I met two blind beggars And into their hands I pressed my hands with a hundred black dinars; and their salutes were those of the Imperial Guard in the Mother of all Wars. As I made my way down Palestine Street I smelled the wide Tigris, the river smell that lifts the air in a city such as this; but down on my head fell the barbarian sun that knows no armistice. As I made my way down Palestine Street I saw a Cruise missile, a slow and silver caravan on its slow and silver mile, and a beggar child turned up his face and blessed it with a smile. As I made my way down Palestine Street under the yellow palms I saw their branches hung with yellow dates all sweeter than salaams, and when that same child reached up to touch, the fruit fell in his arms. Overview Although the poet says he travels down the street, really we see a parade of characters come past us: a funeral, the faithful responding to the muezzin’s call, ex-soldiers begging for money, the river, a missile and a beggar child.   The missile must explode, but we only know because of the verb ‘fell’ as the dates collapse into the outstretched arms of the beggar.   The poet hides the violence with the picturesque scene â€" but not entirely. Form and Structure The poem is written in six stanzas of six lines, in ballad metre.   The rhyme pattern (which can be notated xaxaxa) is an extended version of simple four-line ballad, which was originally a folk-poem form, but Minhinnick is following in the footsteps of poets like Wordsworth and Auden and many others who have chosen to use the strongly rhythmical pattern to tackle serious subjects.   By doing so in six-line stanzas he has a little more time to develop each image, while still staying true to form and changing the focus regularly. There is a very strong rhythm to the form, with four stressed beats in the first of each two lines and three in the second, leaving a pause that readers or listeners associated with ballad form.   This means that although when read aloud the poem might go faster or slower, it won’t substantially change the emphasis a reader places on the words.   Sometimes there are conflicts with the natural stresses in words, when the rhythmic scheme (the metre) wants us to stress them one way and their normal pronunciation prefers another, such as ‘dinars’ and ‘beggars’.   However, this uncertainty challenges each reading to be thoughtful and considerate of the meaning of the words when perfectly regular verse would not. Rhyme is very important in ballad verse and it’s worth looking at the patterns the poet creates.   In order, the rhyming words of each stanza are ‘pass, glass, gas’; ‘prayer, there, despair’; ‘beggars, dinars, wars’; ‘Tigris, this, armistice’; ‘missile, mile, smile’; ‘palms, salaams, arms’.   The strongest rhyming of the three is arguably the last, meaning that the poem ends with a strangely warm and comforting group of words, quite at odds with the violence unleashed by the explosion of the missile. [If you are a northerner and pronounce ‘pass’ and ‘glass’ with the same short ‘a’ as ‘gas’, then the first trio really rhyme very strongly indeed, which would work to establish the regularity of the verse form.] ‘Tigris, this, armistice’ are a diverse group of words, including one of the very few proper nouns in the poem and coupling it with an abstract noun of particular intangibility.   No-one can touch an ‘armistice’ and it is even hard for troops to maintain one.   In contrast, the wide Tigris has been written of and spoken of for centuries: its existence cannot be in question. Language We’ve already begun to consider the words Minhinnick chooses, so now we might focus on the strongest of his word pictures.   The dates, ‘sweeter than salaams’, mix a literal sweetness of the fruit with the metaphorical sweetness of the welcome the poet has found in Baghdad.   The smile of the beggar child with which he ‘blesses’ the passing cruise missile shows how innocent he is, and how undeserving of suffering. The ‘cruise missile, / a slow and silver caravan / on its slow and silver mile’ has a really sinister air when described like this.   ‘Slow’ is of course impossible for a flying weapon, even though the poet repeats it.   Perhaps he is thinking about the way time seems to slow when we see something awful like a bomb about to hit...   Giving the missile possession of the mile by the little word ‘its’ also gives the weapon a life of its own.   We have to ask why ‘silver’?   The missile might be silver, but the mile it has travelled...   Unless that route has been marked with a streak of fast-moving metal, or perhaps if that silver has again been transferred in our mind.   It might be tempting to say that this is ‘just poetry’, but the power of this poetry is that it sparks a hundred other ideas and thoughts in our head.   And to call the missile a ‘silver caravan’ is a dreadful joke: it doesn’t bring prosperity, but pain and grief.   It might have been expensiv e and valuable, but nobody wants it to arrive at the market on Palestine Street.   The people there have already seen enough suffering.

Rod Blagojevich Not Leaving Jail Early

Rod Blagojevich Not Leaving Jail Early Photo Via: http://chicagotonight.wttw.com Blagojevich’s defense was an apology, as well as a claim to being a “changed man” and a “model prisoner” during his sentence to date. Still, Judge Zagel imposed the same sentence originally given back in 2011. He claims, “I do not doubt that he is a loving father and that his children miss him deeply in his absence, but as I said four years ago, the fault lies in the governor.” Blagojevich, now 59 years old, will now be forced to finish out his sentence through May 2024. After the court adjourned, Amy gestured towards Zagel’s bench and claimed, “He stole my childhood!” Patti spoke with anger to reporters as well, claiming “Quite frankly, I’m dumbfounded and flabbergasted. This was unusually cruel and heartless and unfair … Somehow, we will get through this. We love Rod. And we’ll be here for him as we continue to fight.” So what is this long sentence being served for? Back in 2011 Blagojevich was convicted of misusing his powers for multiple different reasons. The most notable was his attempt to sell a U.S. Senate seat Barack Obama’s in 2008 when he was elected president. During the initial trial, the jury was deadlocked on all but one count. The conviction came less than a year later. An appeals court threw out five counts against Blagojevich last year on technicalities, though they still referred to the evidence against him as “overwhelming” and stated his sentence was completely within reason. Though it was predicted Zagel would shave a year or two off of this sentence, on Tuesday, he completely put these ideas to rest. According to Jeffery Cramer, a former federal prosecutor, “In the end, Judge Zagel remained steadfast in his view of the crimes and this defendant.” This is frustrating for Blagojevich, especially since he’s waited nearly four and a half years for this day in court. Blagojevich’s lawyer, Leonard Goodman, told the judge that the remaining charges against Blagojevich were “significantly different” and that he never profited, despite his attempts. According to Goodman, “we believe he is ready to come home.” Goodman asked for the sentence to be lessened to five years. His daughters also made their pleas, appealing to an emotional side. According to Annie, “I almost don’t want to grow up because I want to wait for him to come home.” Amy, however, is already in college, which she alluded to in her plea. She said it “kills” her father that he can’t meet the new people in her life. She says, “the longer my father is gone, the more and more estranged my sister and I become from him.” Blagojevich was given 15 minutes for remarks, during which he apologized, but didn’t state the crimes for which he was convicted. He said, “I recognize it was my actions and my words that led me here. This can be a beginning to make amends for the past.” Prosecutors, however, claimed the ex-governor hadn’t changed at all. They claim he never took responsibility, and his actions prove nothing has changed. According to Attorney Debra Bonamici, “As long as the defendant is unable or unwilling to accept responsibility for what he actually did and what he actually meant when he did it, there can be no rehabilitation.” According to Zagel, “He sees himself as less morally culpable, but I don’t draw such a clear moral distinction. As in many cases, political and personal gains were very much intermingled here.” After the hearing, Blagojevich conveyed his disappointment at the verdict to reporters. Despite a large show of familial support and the reading of letters written by prisoners that befriended Blagojevich during his sentence, the ex-governor ultimately failed to show any tangible change especially in his inability to address his charges head-on and accept his responsibility. However, this technically isn’t the end. According to Goodman, he could still appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court at this point; however, they have already declined to hear the case in March so it’s unlikely they’re going to change their minds now. Ultimately, saying that you’re reformed apologizing with meaninglessness isn’t going to get you out of jail. So if, by some miracle, the Supreme Court picks up his case, Blagojevich is going to need a serious change of heart, or he’s likely going to serve out the entirety of his 14-year sentence.

Teach Away Telegram - September 2011

Teach Away Telegram - September 2011 In the September issue of the Teach Away Telegram, we celebrate the upcoming World Teachers' Day! We also examine the professional development options available to teachers overseas, and consider whether or not it's wise to bring a pet with you when teaching abroad.We hope you're having a great month, and we hope to hear from you soon!Happy reading! - The Teach Away TeamIn this issue:World Teachers' DayTeaching Overseas and Professional DevelopmentTaking Your Pets OverseasWorld Teachers' DayOctober 5, 2011 marks the 18th year of World Teachers’ Day. This day, organized by Education International (EI) and recognized by UNESCO, aims to support both teachers and students to ensure future generations benefit from the best education possible. Every year, EI promotes public awareness campaigns that stress valuable contributions made by teachers, while also encouraging international standards for the teaching profession. This year, their focus is on gender equality for teachers.Inequality is an issue that needs to be acknowledged by both female and male teachers. Some teachers in Western countries may not be fully aware of equality in the workplace in non-Western countries. Countries, like the UAE, have gender-segregated schools, where teachers are also segregated into the appropriate school. As well, some countries in Asia hold male teachers in higher regard than female educators. Of course, much of this is culturally fuelled, and imposing change has to be done delicately and respectfully.Teach Away prepares and informs its teachers as much as possible about such cultural differences prior to teachers' departure to work overseas. Whether it is how gender roles are viewed within the workplace in a particular country, or how students are segregated, Teach Away recognizes that not all of its departing teachers are familiar with these differences. For more information on such differences in a particular country, it’s best to conduct some research using resources such as Teach Away’s staff, or the Teach Away Facebook page.The World Teachers' Day website is another valuable resource. Although connected with numerous international teacher organizations, the day is yet to be officially recognized and celebrated around the world. Currently, over 100 countries observe World Teachers’ Day, and we would like to wish you a happy World Teachers' Day, no matter where you teach.Teaching Overseas and Professional DevelopmentProfessional development is an important part of a career in education. Having the opportunity to learn about the latest educational research findings, reflect on one’s practice, and broaden one’s repertoire of teaching techniques is imperative for successful educators.When taking on an international teaching position, teachers still have plenty of options for keeping up their PD:1. Resources and Events Offered by the EmployerWhether you are teaching in a public school setting, a private international school, or in a private lang uage school, many employers are offering professional development options to their staff in order to encourage effective teaching practice. Some schools offer PD days, similar to PD programs delivered by many school boards and districts in Western countries. Other schools will offer the opportunity to enrol in ongoing teacher training sessions or periodic seminars, offered outside of classroom hours.2. Online ResourcesFor licensed/certified teachers, there are options for taking more teacher training courses online in order to obtain more qualifications or upgrade existing certifications. Other great online resources include signing up for educational newsletters, joining online communities geared towards sharing resources and ideas, and subscribing to professional development mailing lists.3. Reflective PracticeReflecting on one’s teaching is a crucial part of improving and growing as an educator. Not only is it important to make time for reflection, but teachers working in a new location, unfamiliar school setting, or in a new role should document their time abroad for future reflection. Teaching abroad gives teachers first-hand experience with other cultures and traditions, allowing teachers professional and personal growth that will enrich their teaching abilities.  Taking Your Pets OverseasA common question for teachers going overseas is whether or not they are able to bring pets with them. Since pets are often considered a part of the family, many teachers are eager to bring Barkley or Mr. Whiskers along with them to the country where they will be living and teaching for the next 1-2 years. But is it wise to bring your animal companions with you?Teach Away encourages teachers going overseas to carefully consider a few factors when thinking about bringing a pet overseas. The first factor is cost â€" transporting a pet overseas and meeting all of the customs regulations (which can include updating shots, multiple vet visits, and quarantining your pet) ca n be quite expensive, depending on each country’s specific requirements for bringing a pet with you.The second factor is time, and your pet’s health â€" since many countries require that your pet be quarantined, and since long-distance travel can be anxiety-inducing for animals, putting a pet through the process of traveling and subsequently being separated from you can be very difficult.Finally, an important factor to consider is the availability of pet services where you will be living. While vets and pet supply stores might be common in North America, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, finding dog food or cat litter can be a challenge all its own for teachers in China or Malaysia. Finding the proper supplies and care for your pet might be very difficult, and if you are transporting a dog to an extremely hot climate (i.e. the Middle East), you will want to be sure you have the resources necessary to keep your pet healthy.Teach Away strongly advises that teachers find a trusted friend or family member to watch over their pets while they are teaching overseas, for the health of the animal, and for the well-being of everyone involved.

Mistakes are the portals of discovery - ALOHA Mind Math

Mistakes are the portals of discovery All parents have different ways of dealing with children’s mistakes. One of the common approaches nowadays it to make light of them, so as not to affect the child’s psyche by pointing them out too much. It is debatable whether this is the best way to prepare a child to face the future and bigger challenges in life. Experts in child development suggest that it is better to let children understand mistakes and figure out a way to resolve the issue themselves. We as parents would probably be surprised by the inventive problem solving skills that this leads to. It is also a great natural method of improving the intelligence and IQ of a child, since it helps the child figure what the problem is all about, rather than just learning from rote. Once such an outlook is fostered in the child, give him a math problem, and he will strive at arriving at the solution despite making mistakes. Such a practice enables children to be more independent with their homework. Along with encouraging a child to be independent and learn from their mistakes, it is also equally important to praise their efforts. Developmental theories show that children may have different learning styles, and each one may take their own time to handle such an approach.By enabling your child’s self-efficacy, you will be preparing and encouraging him/her to be his/her own person and handle even high-stress situations with confidence. When faced with a situation such applying for as a scholarship, such a child will not back away or be worried about failure, but will think of applying multiple times to succeed. To put all that in a nutshell, we need to Give children the space to learn from their own mistakes and not jump in to do everything for them. Not harp on earlier mistakes, but discuss the one at hand and what might have gone wrong, so that the child gets a hint of what went wrong and to correct themselves. Encourage and praise children when they solve problems on their own. Support their independence by letting them treat their mistakes as stepping stones. Abacus is a great way to improve your child’s confidence and to improve his mental math abilities which in turn will have a positive impact on his attitude to learning too.
