question:You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer. Summarize this article in one sentence. Students can learn a lot from actively participating in class. One way that you can encourage participation is by having constructive class discussions. Ask open-ended questions so that students have to give more than a yes or no answer. Don't ask questions with a set answer in mind. Discussions should help students explore different ideas. Younger kids can start to learn critical thinking by answering questions. You could try, "What are some ways to show kindness?" You'll get lots of different answers! For example, you could ask, “Why is it so important that we take steps to protect the environment?” You could also try, “Do you think the U.S. should get involved in trying to solve problems in other countries? Why or why not?” In addition to discussion, you can try lots of other ways to help students get involved in class. Anything that gets the students doing something new for a few minutes is good. You can easily adjust activities according to the subject you teach. For almost any subject, you could try short in-class writing assignments. This will give students a break from listening to you talk and give them some time to learn more actively. Say, “Okay, everyone spend 5 minutes writing about what you think the key points of today's topic. When you're done, we'll share our thoughts as a large group.” Ask students to relate the topic to their own lives. For example, “Write a paragraph about what kinds of things your family does to help the environment.” Try Stand Up Sit Down. For example, if you are trying to teach the difference between proper nouns and common nouns, you can have students stand up if the word you say is a proper noun and sit down if it is a common noun. You can apply this to many subjects, including math. Try having students stand up if a number is prime and sit down if it is not. Working together can help students see material in a new way. It can also make things more fun! In addition to assigning group projects, you can find other creative ways to help students interact with one another. Try Think-Pair-Share. Give students a question, and give them a few minutes to think about their answer. Then, have them pair up and share their answers with each other. Finally, have each pair share their answers with the whole class. This works great with high school and college students. Play a matching game. Hand out a note card with a word or phrase on it and have students get up and find their match. You can do this with rhyming words, synonyms, problems/solutions, or anything that you want! Elementary school kids can have lots of fun with this one. Getting out of the classroom is a great way to help students connect to material! Field trips are a great way to bring some excitement to the topic you're teaching. Make sure that the field trip clearly relates to what you are teaching. For example, if you've been learning about environmental issues, take students to a self-sustaining farm. If you've been teaching about the solar system, take a trip to a planetarium. Make sure to follow all school policies when you're planning a field trip. For high school and college students, constructive debates are a great way for students to connect with the material. During discussions, encourage students to share opposing viewpoints. For example, if you are talking about whether or not peaceful protests are constructive, have students clearly explain their viewpoints. Make sure that students remain civil. No name calling, raised voices, or insults! If things start to get heated, wrap up the debate. Say, "We obviously have lots of strong feelings on this. To wrap up, take 5 minutes to write down what you feel are the key points on this issue."
answer:This article emphasizes the importance of active participation in class through various methods, such as constructive discussions, in-class writing assignments, relatable topics, interactive activities, group projects, field trips, and debates to enhance students' learning experience and critical thinking skills.
question:You should describe the task and explain your answer. While answering a multiple choice question, first output the correct answer(s). Then explain why other answers are wrong. Think like you are answering to a five year old. If "He prepares an offering of fruit.", does this mean that "A man is cutting up meat for a burger."? Choices: -yes -it is not possible to tell -no
answer:-no The sentence "He prepares an offering of fruit." means that someone is getting some fruit ready to give as a gift or for a special occasion. It has nothing to do with a man cutting up meat for a burger. That's a completely different action. So the correct answer is no because the two situations are not related at all.
question:You are an AI assistant that follows instruction extremely well. Help as much as you can. Information: - A municipality is usually a single urban administrative division having corporate status and powers of self-government or jurisdiction as granted by national and state laws, to which it is subordinate. It is to be distinguished from the county, which may encompass rural territory and/or numerous small communities such as towns, villages and hamlets. The term "municipality" may also mean the governing or ruling body of a given municipality. A municipality is a general-purpose administrative subdivision, as opposed to a special-purpose district. The term is derived from French "municipalité" and Latin "municipalis". - Harald Berntsen ( born 25 January 1945 in Eidanger ) is a national historian and is active in the radical left in Norway . - A parish is a church territorial unit constituting a division within a diocese. A parish is under the pastoral care and clerical jurisdiction of a parish priest, who might be assisted by one or more curates, and who operates from a parish church. Historically, a parish often covered the same geographical area as a manor (its association with the parish church remaining paramount). - Eidanger is a rural parish and former municipality of Porsgrunn, in Telemark County, Norway. - The municipality of Porsgrunn was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). The town of Brevik and the rural district of Eidanger were merged into the municipality of Porsgrunn on 1 January 1964. - Norway (; Norwegian: (Bokmål) or (Nynorsk); Sami: "Norgga"), officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a sovereign and unitary monarchy whose territory comprises the western portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula plus the island Jan Mayen and the archipelago of Svalbard. The Antarctic Peter I Island and the sub-Antarctic Bouvet Island are dependent territories and thus not considered part of the Kingdom. Norway also lays claim to a section of Antarctica known as Queen Maud Land. Until 1814, the Kingdom included the Faroe Islands (since 1035), Greenland (1261), and Iceland (1262). It also included Shetland and Orkney until 1468. It also included the following provinces, now in Sweden: Jämtland, Härjedalen and Bohuslän. - Telemark is a county in Norway, bordering Vestfold, Buskerud, Hordaland, Rogaland and Aust-Agder. The county administration is in Skien. Until 1919 the county was known as "Bratsberg amt". What object entity has the relation of 'place of birth' with the subject 'harald berntsen'? Choices: - bohuslän - iceland - island - manor - norway - of - parish - peninsula - porsgrunn - shetland - skien - telemark - vestfold
answer:Eidanger
question:Given a definition of a task and a sample input, break the definition into small parts. Each of those parts will have some instruction. Explain their meaning by showing an example that meets the criteria in the instruction. Use the following format: Part # : a key part of the definition. Usage: Sample response that meets the criteria from the key part. Explain why you think it meets the criteria. In this task, you will be shown a short story with a beginning, two potential middles, and an ending. Your job is to choose the middle statement that makes the story coherent / plausible by writing "1" or "2" in the output. If both sentences are plausible, pick the one that makes most sense. Q: Beginning: Lara bought a guitar. Middle 1: She played it often and really enjoy it. Middle 2: She seldom played it and didn't enjoy it. Ending: So she traded the guitar for a music CD! A:
answer:Part #1: Identifying the short story with a beginning, two potential middles, and an ending. Usage: Story: "Lara bought a guitar. She played it often and really enjoyed it. OR She seldom played it and didn't enjoy it. So she traded the guitar for a music CD!" Explanation: In this example, we are provided with a short story that contains a beginning, two potential middles, and an ending. Part #2: Choosing the middle statement that makes the story coherent/plausible. Usage: Middle 2: "She seldom played it and didn't enjoy it." Explanation: In this case, choosing the second middle statement makes the story more coherent, as the ending implies she didn't enjoy the guitar and therefore chose to trade it for a music CD. Part #3: Writing '1' or '2' in the output to indicate the chosen middle statement. Usage: Output: "2" Explanation: Here, 2 represents that the most coherent middle statement is the second one ("She seldom played it and didn't enjoy it"). This selection makes the complete story plausible. Part #4: Picking the most sensible sentence in case both are plausible. Usage: Not applicable in this example, as the second middle statement makes the most sense in this given story.
