Response by Emeliea - Teiresias

Hi Waniey..I agree with you about the importance of Teiresias as one of the character in Oedipus Rex. It is true that he is the first man that reveals the truth about Thebes' king, Oedipus. However, I'm quite disagree when you say that "His talent was seen after all prophecies about Oedipus are happened." I'm focusing on the word 'talent' here. I don't think that being a prophet as talented. In my opinion, Teiresias is a really pure and holy prophet, not because of his talent but because it is a gift from God, which we as a normal human cannot have although we are talented enough in reading others' fate. In other word, Teiresias becomes a prophet because he is the chosen one, not because of his talent.

Yes, you are correct about Teiresias because I have the same thought as you are. To me whether we are blind or not, what is important is not things that can be seen with naked eyes, but our intuition. Another thing about Teiresias is that he is a prophet who can see the future and the past of anyone including the king himself. Besides, we also cannot escape from our fate and we must be prepared for it. As you said, do not mock others for his or her inability.

The story Shakespeare wallah is one of the most boring film. I went out halfway because it was too boring. I loved Macbeth though... But i think that reading the play is much much better than watching the movie.You should read the pkay...u'll find it much favorable compare to the movie.

Sophia Lina said...
You said that we have to be ourself. That is right. The most important thing we have to be greatful to be ourself. Macbeath was not proud to be himself that is why he is eager to manipulated the king and killed the king in order to get the king's position. At the rnd Macbeath was death because of his own fault.

Response by Hoe-Yi - Macbeth

Joyce a.k.a Hoe-Yi said...
In my opinion, I see that Macbeth is blinded by prophecies told by the three witches. He accepts and believes completely of what the witches have told him and he acts accordingly to achieve the prophecy of being a king.It is true that he has been hiding from others about the truth that he has murdered many people, but I also think that he is a blind man. Blind in the mind and not physically. It is because in the play, we can see that actually Macbeth does not show to others that he is a good man. He is only playing a role of a king. Sometimes he is fierce to his helpers and orders them to kill Macduff’s whole family. What kind of “good” king he is? Commanding people to kill other people’s wife and children. He is indeed a cruel, inhuman king and totally blind to the prophecies.

Response byHoe-Yi - How it is to be evaluated by others in simulated teaching..

Joyce a.k.a Hoe-Yi said...
Hello, Wani. First of all, I would like to comment on your blog. It is very beautiful! Through the blog, it reflects your personality. You have put in effort to decorate your blog.In being evaluated by others, I agree that it is a good learning ground for us in order to prepare us to become a better teacher in the future. If we are not evaluated, how are we going to know our weaknesses that need to be changed and improved?From your blog, you have given me a new thought that actually teacher’s attire is being evaluated as well. Although I knew it, I put it in my subconscious mind. It is true that our attire will be evaluated as well. Besides that, we learn to accept friends’ comments in evaluation. It is good that you know your voice volume now than being commented by students in the future. It is true that a teacher needs to have loud voice in order to attract students’ attention and show your confidence.In my opinion, an evaluator should not be afraid to tell the truth to their friends since this is a learning process for everyone. It is true that sometimes we do not like others’ comments. However, by telling the truth, we only can learn. It is better to put the name on the evaluation paper because the teacher candidate can refer to the person who has commented him or her to get further clarifications.

Response by Hoe-Yi - How To Evaluate Others In Simulated Teaching

Once again, you have alerted me that the attire of a teacher is very important. I have learned from you that we have to put attire as our consideration in order to reflect a good teacher’s image. Thanks Wani for your reminder. I will always remember the importance of the attire for a teacher.I agree with you that set induction is very important. Without an interesting set induction, it is hard to draw students’ attention to the teacher for the rest of the activities. For me, I have to also be more creative in my set induction during teaching because I love to put pictures only in set induction. In future, I will try to put more interesting set inductions to make my teaching effective.Besides that, it is also true that we can put students into consideration during evaluation because the effectiveness of a teacher’s teaching can be reflected by students. If the students pay attention and responds well in class, it can be said that the teacher is good and effective in his or her teaching.
