Is this True or Fiction
A 16-year-old Ella Birchenough found herself stuck in a storm drain in Dover, England while trying to fetch her cell phone. She got herself so stuck that firefighters had to respond and lift her out.
Tim Richards, 22, was driving home when he saw Birchenough up to her waist on the drain on Wednesday, The Telegraph reports.
"It's not the type of thing you see every day," Richards said. "It was pretty weird. She was more concerned about getting her phone back rather than getting herself out of the drain."
Birchenough said she dropped her iPhone into the drain while talking to someone. She tried to pull herself out, "but it wasn't happening," she told Metro. Her mom, who was nearby at the time, panicked and called emergency responders, but Birchenough said they both found the humor in the situation.
I am going to start a new discussion thread called the Furkan Files. Each week I will write about a new story so strange that you will not know if it is truth or complete fiction.
The rules are simple, you cannot look up the answer on the Internet and must try to determine if the story is true or not. This will help with your comprehension skills.
In Canada's House of Commons, there was a debate about creating an international zombie strategy "so that a zombie invasion does not turn into a zombie apocalypse." Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs John Baird told everyone that there was nothing to worry about because even though Canada is a friendly bunch, it will "never become a safe haven for zombies EVER.
PMBOK Fourth Edition was released in 2008. It had five process groups, with nine knowledge areas and 42 processes. The fifth edition was released last year, and while it includes the same five proess groups, there are now 10 knowledge areas and 47 processes.
In the fourth edition, stakeholder management was part of communications management. In the fifth edition, stakeholder management is now its own knowledge area.
One added process is 5.1 Plan Scope Management
This is the process of creating a scope management plan that documents how the project scope will be defined, validated, and controlled. The key benefit of this process is that it provides guidance and direction on how scope will be managed throughout the project.
Let me know if you want to learn about other differences between these two project management guides.
I love science fiction movies, but my favourite movie of all time is, "Meet Joe Black."
What's yours?
I started teaching a few years back. I did it because it was fun. I enjoyed talking with people in different countries and from different cultures. I was unlike other teachers. My classes were not structured with ridgid lesson plans. I adapted to my students and started classes based on real world skills.
I found that students were more interested when the English class was taught skills like generating small talk, facilitating meetings, creating debate, managing project (as per PMP), and improving your memory.
If you are a teacher, what do you find works best in your classes?
Else, if you are a student, what are characteristics of your favourite teacher?
