Educação Física
A Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) é o
documento normativo que define as aprendizagens
essenciais para a Educação Básica. Para a Educação
Física no Ensino Fundamental, a BNCC estabeleceu
uma estrutura baseada em Unidades Temáticas que
agrupam as diferentes práticas da cultura corporal de
movimento. Analise as afirmativas a seguir sobre as
Unidades Temáticas da BNCC:
I.As seis Unidades Temáticas são: Brincadeiras e jogos, Esportes, Ginásticas, Danças, Lutas e Práticas Corporais de Aventura.
II.A Unidade Temática "Práticas Corporais de Aventura" foi incluída para contemplar práticas como o parkour (urbana) e o trekking (na natureza).
III.A BNCC determina que as Unidades Temáticas Lutas e Danças só podem ser ensinadas no Ensino Médio, por serem complexas demais para o Ensino Fundamental.

Educação Física
O modelo de desenvolvimento motor de Gallahue
descreve a progressão das habilidades motoras em
fases. Após a Fase Motora Reflexa (involuntária), a
criança entra na fase dos primeiros movimentos
voluntários, que são a base para habilidades mais
complexas. Esta fase é crucial para o desenvolvimento
da estabilidade (controle da cabeça, sentar) e da
locomoção (engatinhar, andar). Qual o nome desta fase?

Autonomous learning refers to students' ability to take
charge of their own learning process, setting goals,
selecting strategies, and self-evaluating progress. Digital
technologies offer unprecedented opportunities for
autonomous English learning through apps, online
platforms, podcasts, and authentic materials. However,
effective autonomy requires explicit instruction in learning
strategies, digital literacy skills, and critical evaluation of
online resources. Teachers play a crucial role in
scaffolding learner autonomy rather than simply
assigning independent work. Responsible technology use
involves understanding privacy concerns, identifying
credible sources, managing screen time, and recognizing
AI limitations. How can English teachers effectively
promote genuine learner autonomy while ensuring
responsible technology use?

J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) was not only a renowned
author but also a distinguished philologist and professor
of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford University. His deep knowledge
of Old English, Middle English, Old Norse, Finnish, and
Welsh profoundly influenced his creative work. Unlike
most fantasy authors who create fictional worlds first and
add languages as decoration, Tolkien's approach was
inverted: he created complex, fully-functional languages
with consistent grammar, phonology, and etymology,
then built narratives and worlds where these languages
could exist naturally. His most developed constructed
languages (conlangs) include Quenya (inspired by
Finnish) and Sindarin (inspired by Welsh), both Elvish
languages with distinct characteristics. Tolkien invented
these languages before writing "The Hobbit" or "The Lord
of the Rings," and his fiction essentially served as a
mythology to house his linguistic creations. Which
statement accurately reflects Tolkien's unique
contribution to fantasy literature and the relationship
between his philological expertise and creative writing?

English language teachers must explicitly teach reading
strategies to help students process texts efficiently.
Different reading purposes require different approaches.
When students need to find specific information quickly,
such as a date, name, price, or particular fact, without
reading the entire text, they should employ a particular
technique. This strategy involves moving eyes rapidly
over the text to locate specific keywords or information,
similar to searching for a contact in a phone list. It differs
from other strategies like skimming (getting general idea),
intensive reading (detailed comprehension), or extensive reading (reading for pleasure). What is this reading
strategy called when students search for specific
information without reading every word?

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is recognized not only for
his memorable characters and engaging narratives but
also for his incisive social criticism of Victorian England.
His novels exposed injustices including child labor,
workhouse conditions, legal system corruption,
educational inadequacies, and class inequalities. Dickens
drew from personal experience: his father's imprisonment
for debt forced twelve-year-old Charles to work in a
blacking factory, a traumatic experience that profoundly
influenced his writing. Novels like "Oliver Twist"
(1837-1839) criticized the Poor Law Amendment Act of
1834, while "Hard Times" (1854) attacked utilitarian
philosophy and industrial capitalism's dehumanizing
effects. "Bleak House" (1852-1853) satirized the Court of
Chancery's endless legal proceedings. Dickens
combined social critique with entertainment, making
serious issues accessible to wide audiences through
serialization in periodicals. How did Dickens' personal

American English diverged from British English following
colonial settlement in the 17th century, developing
distinctive features through various influences. Noah
Webster's "American Dictionary of the English Language"
(1828) standardized American spelling (color vs colour,
theater vs theatre). Regional dialects emerged from
different settlement patterns: Southern American English,
New England dialects, Midwestern English, and African
American Vernacular English (AAVE). Immigration waves
introduced vocabulary from Spanish, German, Italian,
and other languages. The Great Vowel Shift had largely
concluded before American colonization, meaning some
features preserved older English pronunciations. What
factors primarily contributed to American English
developing as a distinct variety from British English?

Tax rises and benefit cuts are on the horizon as
Reeves prepares the UK for a bad-news budget
The UK chancellor, Rachel Reeves, has made it clear
that taxes will go up, and more cuts to welfare spending
are on the horizon. The moves will be deeply unpopular
and controversial − but in an extraordinary press
conference ahead of the UK budget on November 26,
Reeves made it clear that she believes both will be
necessary.
In a highly unusual move, the chancellor used the press
conference to set out her priorities for balancing the
books while growing the economy. Notably, she did not
mention the pledge in Labour's manifesto not to raise
taxes on working people or increase national insurance,
VAT or income tax.
Instead, she said her focus was on lowering the burden
of excessive government borrowing and debt, improving
public services and tackling the cost of living.
Reeves gave particular importance to sticking with her
"iron-clad" fiscal rules. These, she argued, were essential
for showing she is being responsible with the nation's
finances and preventing a further rise in the cost of
borrowing (the interest the government pays on its debt).
At more than £100 billion per year, this already makes up
10% of all government spending. The government's
spending watchdog, the Office for Budget Responsibility
(OBR), projects the total to rise to £111 billion by the next
financial year.
She also emphasised the importance of measures to
boost UK productivity. Productivity forecasts are
expected to be downgraded by the OBR, heaping yet
more pressure on the chancellor's budget choices.
Reeves questioned whether the forecast would
accurately predict the future − but has accepted that she
will have to work within the OBR's constraints in this
year's budget.
The chancellor is right that there is a pressing need to
boost productivity. But it is by no means certain that
planned investment in things like housing, nuclear power
and a third runway at Heathrow will yield big gains, at
least in the near term.
At the same time, she made it clear that to meet her
budget target there will need to be cuts to public
spending. Some cuts will come from more "efficiency"
savings by government departments (that perennial
option that all chancellors reach for).
But they will also come from tackling the UK's rapidly
rising welfare budget, focusing on the large number of
young people who are not in education, employment or
training but depend on state benefits (so-called "Neets").
Any cuts to the welfare budget, as well as a failure to abolish the two-child benefit limit (although she is under
pressure from colleagues to bite the bullet and axe it), will
cause dismay within the parliamentary Labour party as
well as many party activists.
As ever, the budget choices will be political as well as
economic. Both the Conservatives and Reform UK will
accuse Labour of breaking its manifesto promises. They
will also claim Labour is undermining any chance of
growth by raising taxes by a larger amount than any UK
government has done in the last 50 years.
At the same time, it will become even more difficult for
Labour to manage its large but fractious parliamentary
majority. Earlier this year, backbenchers forced the
government to restore the winter fuel payment for some
pensioners and abandon plans to cut personal
independence payments for disabled claimants.
Local government elections, as well as elections to the
Scottish and Welsh parliaments, are looming next May.
Reeves risks further alienating Labour's grassroot
supporters and pushing them towards smaller left-wing
parties such as the Greens. They already seem to be
pulling ahead of Labour among younger voters.
The stakes could not be higher. A bad result could even
lead to questions about the future of both the chancellor
and the prime minister Keir Starmer.
Finally, the chancellor's goal to cut the cost of living for
working people does not seem particularly ambitious. Her
suggested approach involves cutting energy costs by
investing more in electricity generation, and reducing the
cost of food by changing the business rates system to
help small businesses.
Even if effective, these changes will take some time to
work through and may not be enough to convince voters
that Labour is on their side − particularly if inflation is not
brought under control.
Reeves' appeal to the public to back her long-term
approach to sorting out the British economy may be
admirable. But the political risks to her personally − and
Labour more broadly − remain considerable.

The article presents an argumentative structure where
the author analyzes Reeves' budget strategy, provides
evidence, and evaluates potential consequences. The
text employs cohesive devices such as "At the same
time," "As ever," "Finally," and contrastive structures like
"But" to connect ideas logically. In teaching
argumentative writing in English, particularly for students
preparing to write opinion essays or analytical texts about
current events, it is essential to focus on thesis
statements, supporting evidence, counterarguments, and
appropriate linking words. Consider a teacher who wants
students to write a 250-word argumentative essay
responding to the question: "Should governments
prioritize reducing debt over increasing welfare
spending?" Which instructional sequence would prepare
students for this task?

In authentic spoken English, native speakers use
features of connected speech including linking
(connecting final consonant sounds to initial vowel
sounds), elision (dropping sounds), assimilation (sounds
changing when they meet), and weak forms. In the

likely link sounds between words, use weak forms for
function words, and potentially reduce certain sounds.
Understanding these features is crucial for both listening
comprehension and pronunciation teaching. A teacher

address these phenomena. Which approach effectively
develops students' ability to understand and produce
natural connected speech?
