Texts can be written, spoken, visual or multimodal, and in print or digital/online forms. Multimodal texts combine language with other systems for communicating such as visual images, soundtracks and spoken word, as in film or computer presentation media. Texts include all forms of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), for example gesture, signing, real objects, photographs, pictographs and Braille. The forms and conventions of texts have developed to help us communicate effectively with a variety of audiences for a range of purposes, and so texts in different learning areas can and do use language and other features in different ways. http://www.australiancurriculum.edu.au/GeneralCapabilities/Literacy/Organising-elements/Organising-elements JAN 2013 Categories Social Stories means for communication. can be written, spoken, visual or multimodal, and in print or digital/online forms.

Background Reading

Transcript: Results & Conclusions The test building was a segmentation of an existing three-story frame structure built in 1983, in which the external walls of the first-story were built in 1955 and other walls were built in 1983. It can be observed that relative deformations of the damper are proportional to the energy dissipation of the control mechanism. Pin supported wall for enhancing the seismic performance of building structures. Seismic response & conclusions. Proposed model For structures with a timber upgrade the increase of total mass is about 20%, hence causing a lower increase of horizontal forces and displacements. Building A is a weak wall-strong frame structure, whereas building B is a strong wall-weak frame system. Results and discussion In all design parameters combinations the energy dissipation is more than 60%. Strengthening of frames structures with hinged walls is effective in reducing the maximum story drift demands and producing a more uniform distribution of story drifts over the height of the structure. Seismic response & conclusions. Adaptable dual control systems for earthquake resistance. Most important is that, in such cases, cracks are formed at very low values of acceleration (of the order of 0.04g, which corresponds to even smaller values of PGA, of the order of 0.01-0.02g, that means very frequent earthquakes. Proposed ADCS relies on the performance of braced frames with cables or tension only rods, following a closed circuit and hysteretic dampers. Methodology Before and after retrofitting was evaluated with ABAQUS 6.8. A strength degradation was introduced in the steel fiber, beyond ultimate deformation stress-strain drops with a negative stiffness. Results & Discussion The stiffness values of the test building were detected by the pulse method. A numerical study on response factors for steel wall-frame systems. Edge column foundation rocking depends mainly on the dynamic properties of the surface layer not on its depth. Rocking on the wall depends on both because an increase of foundation rotation is observed even increasing layer thickness. Inner column seems to be independent on the soil deposit. If flexible boundary is assumed,the box racking would be about half the shear strain of free-field soil. The box racking would be reduced by 50% further, if quiet boundary is assumed. Racking deformation of a station box does not conform to the shear deformation of free-field soil when distinct soil and structure regions are swayed apart under strong motions. According to these plots, it is evident that the ductility reduction factor decreases with an increase in the frame load share. Results & Conclusions The longitudinal reinforcing steel in A is lower than B. The reinforcement ratio of building A is much larger. Lateral capacity of the frames in building A is higher. Overall lateral capacities of the two are identical. SSI increases the lateral deformability of the whole structure. Progressive Collapse Resistance of Two Typical High-Rise RC Frame Shear Wall Structures. The numerical study consisted of 1600 time history analyses employing three-dimensional finite elements. All 40 structures were separately analyzed for elastic and inelastic response by subjecting them to the selected suite of earthquake records. Interstory drifts, top story drift, base shears resisted by the wall, and the frame were collected during each analysis. It is important to mention that the beams were not damaged at all, either on site or in the analyses. The severe column damage necessitating the complete demolition of the low-rise part of the building was due to three major design concepts that were not respected. Firstly, the columns were clearly weaker than the beams. Secondly, the transverse reinforcement was improperly detailed. Thirdly, column shear capacity was inadequate to develop any rotational plastic hinges, therefore leading to fragile failures Study's aim Racking deformation. When comparing different events, structural racking does not increase in proportion to input motion intensity. In particular, the increase in racking due to a 20% rise in Tcu-ew quake is more than double due to a 20% rise in kobe-ew-quake. The present paper proposes modern approaches, nonlinear static and dynamic analysis procedures based on the Applied Element Method, to assess a progressive collapse problem of a RC frame structure with infill walls. Developed of a simplified lumped-parameter analytical models that were created to run in the ZEUS-NL environment and that consisted in beam elements, rigid bars and non-linear springs. A flexible and quiet boundary conditions are separately applied to the side boundary of soil to allow comparison of effects between wave reflection and radiation damping on the maximum structural response during severe earthquakes. Single steel MRFs showed a seismic performance very closed to dual steel frames in terms of overall displacements. Structures designed for soft soil are characterized

Reading/Writing Resources

Transcript: Instructional approaches There's good learning progression, from introducing single letters, to the words they can form, to phonemes that require combinations of letters (e.g., "h-e-a-r") and the words they can form. All articles are Common Core-aligned and available in five Lexile levels, ranging (roughly) from third to 12th grade. Each leveled text features a quiz tailored to that particular article plus a writing prompt that asks kids to write and respond to what they've read. The lessons align with several Common Core States Standards within the primary grades. Light Sail Students are able to improve their critical thinking skills through reading the non fiction content at their own ability level. Students have access to material that meet their reading needs at their level through these interactive digital books which will ensure mastery of that particular level of literacy. Students progress is delivered in actionable insights on your students and lessons, so you can see what’s working and what’s not. Early Childhood Reading/Writing Teachers and students can monitor students' per-page progress through books in addition to students' performance on Common Core-aligned assessment tasks throughout the texts. Enhances Student Learning Teachers can give students detailed feedback about their answers for each question. Benefits to student learning Customized versions of the tool, which include additional instructions and more focused choices, are included with some lessons. Teachers can give students detailed feedback about their answers for each question. This program is an online website that offers variable amounts of text in several complexity levels that are tailored to individual reading levels. Students can study the same content and learn at their own pace Students can also make notes as they read, and their teachers can view students' annotations and then respond to notes, allowing students to engage in dialogue with their teachers as they read. Content is updated daily, with stories from a wide range of sources in both English and Spanish. Teachers and students can choose from several templates to publish class newspapers, informational brochures, and flyers announcing class events. Newsela is an online news-as-literacy platform (and Chrome app) Once students complete these assessments, they earn badges and also earn a Lexile measure, an evaluation of their current reading level based on their answers to the reading-comprehension questions and the difficulty of the particular book. Students will gaining exposure to real life events and have an interactive approach towards responding to relevant thought question using evidence from articles at their level. Instructional approaches Enhances Student Learning An individualized, if repetitive, way for kids to practice reading fluency, interpret texts, build vocabulary, and form arguments. Basic planning sheet are available for any learning to help students gather ideas before working on their interactive tool. This program promotes students creativity and critical thinking skills through several fun interactive formats. No internet connection is needed for the app once it's downloaded They also have a collection of resources and tips in Spanish that parents could use at home. These interactive can also be saved in case it takes a student more than one class period to finish Instructional approaches The professional development section is pretty helpful, too, with strategy guides and information on meetings, events, and online seminars for language arts and literacy teachers. This standards-aligned curriculum – which can be customized to align with classrooms reading program, scope and sequence, or pacing guides Newsela Students can check out texts from their schools' digital libraries and read the books directly on their devices. Every lesson plan has been aligned not only to the IRA/NCTE Standards for the English Language Arts but to individual state standards as well and, when applicable, to the Common Core State Standards. Teachers can get progress reports and information supporting phoneme-directed learning in-app and on the developer's website There is also a format that allows students to create their own fairy tail with several prompts to guide students along the process. Gives kids the extra practice with writing letters, exploring how letters form phonemes, and using phonemes to make words. This tool targets reading foundational skills such as: Phonological awareness, Phonics and Word recognition in a fun interactive format. Abc Pocket Phonics This app allows teachers and students monitor reading progress and achievement in real time Students can gauge their own progress by having access to their scores and collecting badges and viewing their Lexile measures. As students progress through a book, questions appear to gauge their comprehension, from simple multiple-choice to longer narrative responses. Students are able to use a search function to
