“Why Has She Stopped Reading?” The Case for Supporting Reading for Pleasure in Secondary Schools. Alexandra M-L Warsop Doctorate in Education School of Education and Lifelong Learning, University of East Anglia October 2014 ©“This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution.” 1 Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate why some children, who engage in reading for pleasure at primary school, stop reading once they have transitioned to secondary school. The study followed eight students from their last term of Year 6 primary education (10 to 11 year-olds) through to the end of their first term of Year 8 secondary education (12 to 13 year-olds). In this ethnographic interpretivist study I used a variety of methods including: observation, questionnaires and group conversations to discover the reasons why some students engage in less reading for pleasure once they begin their secondary school education. I employed thematic analysis to allow flexibility to my research and to provide a detailed and rich account. Some of the eight students involved in this study dramatically reduced the amount of reading which they engaged in and some continued to spend a similar amount of time engaging in reading for pleasure. Some students continued with familiar, safe, readerly texts and some students branched out to explore new genres and text types. This study provides insight into how the child as a reader changes once they move to secondary school and identifies what teachers need to know about the child to be able to facilitate reading for pleasure. New Year 7 students are concerned about perceived negative peer perceptions of readers and suggestions are made about the ways in which teachers and librarians can work with students to encourage reading for pleasure. A key finding of this study was that a precise understanding of Year 7 students as readers by secondary school English teachers is required for them to be able to facilitate students’ reading for pleasure. Suggestions are offered about how teachers can gain a greater understanding of their students as readers and suggestions are also offered about how to develop the child as a reader. 2 Acknowledgements There are many people to thank for their part in helping me complete this thesis. I should especially like to thank Jenifer Smith, for inspiring me to pursue this research and for helping me to climb over all of the barriers which were placed in my path. To the wonderfully communicative and interesting students who allowed me an insight into their reading lives, and without whom there would be no thesis, thank you, my life is richer for talking with you. Special thanks go to the schools for allowing me to explore reading in their educational establishments and to the parents of those great children. Thank you to Lily and Kirsty for comments on previous drafts and for helping me to find my voice. Finally, my thanks go to Simon, Rowan and Jasmine who helped me take this leap of faith. This writing is for you. 3 Contents 1 Introduction ....................................................................................................................... 8 2 The Importance of Reading

Manual transcription and summarization is a cumbersome process necessitating the development of an efficient automatic text summarization technique. In this study, a Chrome extension is used for making the process of transcription hassle- free. It uses the text summarization technique to generate concise and succinct matter. Also, the tool is accessorized using Google Translation, to convert the processed text into users' desired language. This paper illustrates, how captions can be traced from the online meetings, corresponding to which, meeting transcript is sent to the backend where it is summarized using an NLP model. It also walks through three different NLP models and presents a comparative study among them. The NLTK model utilizes the sentence ranking technique for extractive summarization. Word Embedding model uses pre-trained Glove Embeddings for extractive summarization. The T5 model performs abstractive summarization using transformer architecture.

    BBC Public Complaints Responses 2016.Pdf

    Archived BBC public responses to complaints 2016 BBC News, Coverage of the death of David Bowie, 12 January 2016 Complaint We received complaints from viewers and listeners who felt there was too much coverage of David Bowie’s death during BBC News programmes and bulletins. Response from BBC News David Bowie was by common consent one of our greatest pop stars who attracted a global following. He appealed across the ages and was one of the most influential musicians of his time. His death was both sudden and unexpected, his illness not revealed to anyone but a tight circle of friends. Our coverage tried to reflect his stature as a musician whose capacity for invention changed the shape of the industry, and the shock at his death around the world. Question Time, BBC One, 14 January 2016 Complaint We received complaints from viewers who felt the panel had a right wing bias. Response from Question Time Over the course of a series Question Time aims to achieve balance and hear from a range of voices. Each programme usually consists of one senior politician from both the Labour and Conservative party, as well as representatives from other political parties. The rest of the panel is made of political commentators, journalists, and other public figures that add a different perspective and represent a range of viewpoints across the series. We also aim to ensure that each episode has a divergent and broad range of views from the panel on the likely topics that our audience wish to raise. David Dimbleby moderates the debate to ensure panellists are given the opportunity to make their views known in a fair way.

  • Dear Secretary Salazar: I Strongly

    Dear Secretary Salazar: I Strongly

    Dear Secretary Salazar: I strongly oppose the Bush administration's illegal and illogical regulations under Section 4(d) and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, which reduce protections to polar bears and create an exemption for greenhouse gas emissions. I request that you revoke these regulations immediately, within the 60-day window provided by Congress for their removal. The Endangered Species Act has a proven track record of success at reducing all threats to species, and it makes absolutely no sense, scientifically or legally, to exempt greenhouse gas emissions -- the number-one threat to the polar bear -- from this successful system. I urge you to take this critically important step in restoring scientific integrity at the Department of Interior by rescinding both of Bush's illegal regulations reducing protections to polar bears.

    Integrating Deep Contextualized Word Embeddings Into Text Summarization Systems

    Alma Mater Studiorum · Universita` di Bologna SCUOLA DI SCIENZE Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Informatica INTEGRATING DEEP CONTEXTUALIZED WORD EMBEDDINGS INTO TEXT SUMMARIZATION SYSTEMS Relatore: Presentata da: Prof. Fabio Tamburini Claudio Mastronardo Sessione I Anno Accademico 2018/2019 "Considerate la vostra semenza: fatti non foste a viver come bruti ma per seguir virtute e canoscenza" Dante Alighieri, Inferno XXVI, 116-120 Summary In this thesis deep learning tools will be used to tackle one of the most difficult natural language processing (NLP) problems: text summarization. Given a text, the goal is to generate a summary distilling and compressing information from the whole source text. Early approaches tried to capture the meaning of text by using rules written by human. After this symbolic rule-based era, statistical approaches for NLP have taken over rule-based ones. In the last years Deep Learning (DL) has positively impacted ev- ery NLP area, including text summarization. In this work the power of pointer-generator models [See et al., 2017] is leveraged in combination with pre-trained deep contextualized word embeddings [Peters et al., 2018]. We evaluate this approach on the two largest text summarization datasets avail- able right now: the CNN/Daily Mail dataset and the Newsroom dataset. The CNN/Daily Mail has been generated from the Q&A dataset published by DeepMind [Hermann et al., 2015], by concatenating sentences highlights leading to multi-sentence summaries. The Newsroom dataset is the first dataset explicitly built for text summarization [Grusky et al., 2018]. It is comprised of ∼1 million article-summary pairs having more or less degrees of extractiveness/abstractiveness and several compression ratios.
  • Editorial Processes – How Bbc News Works

    Editorial Processes – How Bbc News Works

    EDITORIAL PROCESSES – HOW BBC NEWS WORKS This document sets out the way that editorial decisions are taken in BBC News. At one level, the process is straightforward; the final decision about what to broadcast is taken by the editor of each area of output – whether it be a programme, a strand on a continuous news network or an online section. As the Neil Review of BBC Journalism reaffirmed in 2004, the editors are the “gatekeepers”. But BBC editors take the decisions they do in the context of the core BBC values that should drive all our journalism – truth and accuracy; serving the public interest; impartiality and diversity of opinion; independence; and accountability. They operate within an overarching framework of direction, guidance, policy and strategy which is set by senior management and approved and monitored by the BBC Trust (and formerly the Governors). Decision-making is a process of delegated editorial responsibility, with considerable checks and balances. Helen Boaden Director, BBC News (22nd January, 2007) The scale of BBC News The sheer scale of BBC News has a decisive impact on the way we are organized. It is like a big newspaper conglomerate with numerous titles – but publishing in different formats (radio, television and online) and catering for a range of different audiences. As of September 2006, BBC News employed just under 3,500 journalists producing 619 hours of news and weather per week on domestic radio and television, and 400 new stories a day on the website, with thousands of updates. BBC News also produces programming for BBC World and BBC World Service Radio which is commissioned by the Global Division.

    In Critical Essays on EM Forster's Mauric

    Gemma Moss, ‘Women In and Out: Forster, Social Purity, and Florence Barger’ in Critical Essays on E. M. Forster’s Maurice, ed. Emma Sutton and Tsung-Han Tsai (Liverpool: Liverpool University Press: 2020).Women and contemporary women’s movements exerted a considerable influence on Maurice, even though admirable or developed female characters are conspicuously absent from the narrative. Maurice’s apparent disinterest in women has been read as evidence of Forster’s misogyny, which was one of the reasons the novel was roundly dismissed when it was posthumously published in 1971, as critics – self-identified feminists included – turned on Forster with highly gendered accusations of childishness and fantasy. 1 Admittedly, Maurice is significantly 1 For Christopher Reed, Phyllis Rose’s biography of Virginia Woolf cemented the view of Maurice – and male Bloomsbury more broadly – as ‘decidedly misogynist’. Rose, A Woman of Letters: A Life of Virginia Woolf (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1978), p. 77. See Christopher Reed, ‘The Mouse that Roared: Creating a Queer Forster’ in Queer Forster, ed. by Robert Martin and George Piggford (Chicago and London: Chicago University Press, 1997), pp. 75–88 (p. 84). Cynthia Ozick’s review of Maurice (originally in Commentary) called it ‘a disingenuous book, an infantile book, because, while pretending to be about societal injustice, it is really about make-believe, it is about wishing; so it fails even as a tract. Fairy tales, though, are plainly literature; but Maurice fails as literature too.’ Cynthia Ozick, ‘Morgan and Maurice: A Fairy Tale’ (1971) in Art and Ardor (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1983), p.
