I think Judy Willis does a great job explaining why teachers need to provide students with background knowledge when they introduce a new text.
I created this mini-poster using ComicLife software and a screen capture from a movie trailer.

Metaphors are sometimes used in the Bahá’í writings to convey intangible spiritual concepts. One metaphor that comes up in several places is the tree, such as in the Tablet of Ahmad, written by Bahá’u’lláh: “Verily He is the Tree of Life that bringeth forth the fruits of God, the Exalted, the Powerful, the Great.” In the quote below, knowledge is a fruit of the human tree.
“Strain every nerve to acquire both inner and outer perfections, for the fruit of the human tree hath ever been and will ever be perfections both within and without. It is not desirable that a man be left without knowledge or skills, for he is then but a barren tree. Then, so much as capacity and capability allow, ye needs must deck the tree of being with fruits such as knowledge, wisdom, spiritual perception and eloquent speech.”
—Bahá’u’lláh, The Compilation of Compilations vol. I, p. 247
Watch the video: youtu.be/zHtguGxR3iM Walk over to the Red Lion and you'll find flour milled according to the craft of generations. The miller, Willem Roose, does it for love - for the craft, for the sounds of the windmill and for the thrill of harvesting the wind. His windmill, the Red Lion, was built in 1727 and restored in the 1980s. Unlike other restored windmills, the Red Lion works just like it did when it was first built. There are no modern simplifications inside. It is a truly authentic, living mill.
Mr. Roose sells his flour in a little attached shop and doesn't earn much money for his work, but his knowledge for the craft is beautiful to watch in action.
In a day when most people compromise their passions and dreams in exchange for a steady but boring day job, Mr. Roose is the embodiment of passion for life.

Over 5000 years, the farmers of Andean agriculture have dynamically conserved indigenous agricultural knowledges such as landscape management such as terraces, ridges fields, water management including local irrigation systems, soil management and traditional agricultural tools, crops and livestock, which has adapted to the ecosystems of different altitudes ranging from 2,500 to 5,000 m. Social organizations have been the key factor to maintain their own norms and cultural practices for the harmonious and respectful management of their environment and contributes to their food security.
In 2011, the Andean Agriculture of Peru was designated as a GIAHS site for its unique agricultural system, and in 2021, it celebrates its 10th anniversary after designation. As the site continues to conserve its agrobiodiversity and manage landscape through the ancient traditional agriculture, they also face challenges of external influences which do not always consider the cultural and ecological values of their context.

"In order to fly, all one must do is simply miss the ground." - Douglas Adams
This is my image representation of the above quote by Douglas Adams. I interpreted the word "fly" as success and the word "ground" as fail. So to me, the phrase means that if you wish to succeed, you mustn't fail. In life, many associate success with careers. And the base of all careers require knowledge. Acquiring that knowledge means taking one step at a time, and just "missing the ground" with each try. Knowledge is power and with this power, the chances of failure are reduced significantly giving us the ability to "fly" in one way or another.
Campaigners from Avaaz protest outside Parliament against Rupert Murdoch. 19.07.2011
As Rupert Murdoch and his son James were inside Parliament giving 'evidence' in front of a Parliamentary sub-Committee to answer may serious questions about their knowledge and complicity in the notorious phone-hacking scandal which is rapidly unravelling the Murdoch Empire, a group of campaigners from online protest organisation www.avaaz.org mounted a small protest outside.
This from the Avaaz website on their long-running campaign to stop Murdoch getting his hands on satellite broasdcaster BSkyB, and to break up Murdoch's Empire:
Stopping Rupert Murdoch: The Story
It's an amazing time for our democracy, and our community. Together, we took on the world's most powerful media baron, opposing the biggest deal of his career, and won!
After seven months of campaigning, 1 million online actions, 250,000 messages to official consultations, 2 polls, 8 stunts, legal threats and thousands of phone calls to our leaders, Murdoch has been forced to abandon his bid for BskyB!
Even before the most recent hacking scandal revelations broke, Jeremy Hunt himself recognized it was our campaigning that repeatedly delayed the deal going through. People power stopped Murdoch for months, and when the most recent hacking scandals broke, we cut through the spin and helped get a real judicial inquiry and evaluation of the fitness of the Murdochs to own British broadcasters.
Now Murdoch’s political friends -- who used to hang on his every word -- have abandoned him, his CEO Rebekah Brooks faces criminal charges and London's most senior police officer, Sir Paul Stephenson has resigned. And the US and Australia are pushing for their own Murdoch investigations -- threatening the survival of the entire News Corp empire!
With over 9.5 million members worldwide across 193 countries, Avaaz is a an influential organisation without peers, bringing attention to a great range of vital issues around the globe. To date Avaaz has participated in over 171,000 actions since it was formed early in 2007.
The phone hacking revelations (known popularly now as Hackgate) have been covered extensively now around the globe, seeing several News International employees arrested with many more to follow as the uncovering of the Murdoch press' criminality stretching back thirty years is scrutinised and the pieces of the dark puzzle are put together, and we are now witnessing more and more examples of the depth of the Murdoch Empire's global treachery and corruption as more and more of Murdoch's past victims come forward with their own stories to tell.
