HOW IT IS TO BE EVALUATED BY OTHERS

As for me, I want people to evaluate me by looking on how my whole presentation is in the front of the students. I need my students to understand me and look on how I convey the idea to them. By doing the best presentation, the students will get more information easily because I can gain their attention through the lesson. Beside that, I also would like my supervisor to evaluate me based on how I communicated with the student. It is important to show our body language and eye contact to the students because this is one of the ways we know whether the students understand or not with our instruction.Then, I also believe that students and teacher have to work together. Meaning that, students have to ask teacher a question if they do not understand what the teachers try to tell them. In order to make sure that students will ask me a question, I will give them a chance to ask me a question and I will try my best to explain to them until they get my lesson or my instruction. Furthermore, as a good teacher, I will move around my class and go for my students that needed a help. It could be hard for them to ask me a question,

HOW YOU WANT TO EVALUATED OTHER STIMULATED

In my opinion, it is not an easy work to evaluate other people because I don’t think I am the right person to evaluate other people’s work but then I think I can still have my own point of view in other people stimulated. For example, how they are try to attract my attention with their teaching at their set induction stage. It is always important to attract your student in your set induction. Then, the usage of the voice is also important. Teacher has to make sure that they have gives an instruction with a clear voice. This is very important because this is the only way student will be able to understand what teacher is asking them to do.
Beside that, as a teacher, we have to be careful with our appearance. Teacher should be a role model to the student and that is one of the important elements that I will look for when I have a chance to evaluate my friends. Then, eye contact and body language is also important. Teacher need to communicate with their students. That is some of the element or aspect that I will use to evaluate other stimulated.

YOU THINK MACBETH IS A VIOLENT?

I have seen a movie entitle ‘MacBeth’ and I am truly believe that this is one of the violent movie that I ever watched. Sounds creepy right? But in today’s world of new movie, there is lot of other violent happened. But I still agreed that MacBeth is cruel even to his own people. For example, in this movie, MacBeth showed his violent through the King when he is willing to kill him with the help of his wife in order to replace him as a king. After that, both of them get haunted by their acts and Macbeth becomes a very cruel King to his people when he killed many of his citizens. Then, his wife becomes crazy and commits suicide by falling from her room. After that, the late King’s sons attacked Macbeth’s place and Macduff manage to kill him and the late King’s sons get back his throne.

WALLAH

We have been asked by our lecturer to watch a play written by Shakespeare. I was quite excited at first because I think this play would be as great as the previous Shakespeare’s play that I have watched before but then when I arrived at the play (I’m a bit late, the play was already on), I was quite shocked because the title of the story is ‘Wallah’ (I thought it’s a ‘war lord’-I know, my fault, Shakespeare won’t do a play like that hehehe…).
Actually, this story is about a family troupe of English actors travelling in India. Tony Buckingham and his wife Carla are the actor-managers of the troupe. They travel around the towns and villages giving performances of Shakespearean plays. They have acted his play in India and one day, the couple's daughter Lizzie Buckingham, falls in love with Sanju, a wealthy young Indian playboy who is also have a relationship with Manjula, the glamorous Bombay film star. We can see the changing face of India through their travels. For examples, Maharajas become hotel owners, the old is replaced by the new, sports become more important than culture and the theatre is replaced by Bollywood movies. Through this play, I manage to see the costumes during the Shakespeare’s time and can actually watch the stage performance in it.

TEIRESIAS

In Greek mythology, Teiresias was a blind prophet of Thebes. He is famous for being transformed into a woman for seven years. He was the son of the Shepard Everes and the nymph Chariclo; Tiresias participated in fully seven generations at Thebes. Teiresias is one of the important characters that bring out the prophecy of Oedipus wretched fate. Teiresias is being respected by the people in Thebes for his prophecy; a clear vision of his insight.
Teiresias is not blind by birth but it is believed that he is blinded by Athena because he accidentally came across her while she was bathing naked. His mother, Chariclo who is Athena’s nymph begged her to undo the curse but she was not able to undo it, instead she gave Teiresias the gift of prophecy.
Teiresias, who is the prophet in the country of Thebes; knew everything about Oedipus’s fate. He is the one who killed his own father, King Laios and the one who slept with his own mother, Iocaste; without knowing that they are his parent. He is intellectually blind as well as physically blind, but Teiresias is not. Although Teiresias is physically blind, he is mentally good and that is why he became the prophet of Thebes.
