MY SELF EVALUATION


             I was so thankful when my teacher assigned me to have my demonstration in second year Education students because I know that they are participative and competitive as well. For me, there will be no difficulty on managing the class for someday they will be having their demonstration and for me, they will cooperate with me as their teacher on that period.
           First, when ma’am informed me that she will not observing during my demonstration for she will be having an important matter to attend to I felt quite worried maybe because the students were the ones who will rate my demonstration based on their comments. That time, I thought that it will be unfair on my part maybe because maybe some students don’t like me and they will just rate me what they want or put some negative comments without basing it on how I really demonstrated.
            On the positive side, I was happy with my demonstration to them because even if I’m just a student teacher they have shown their respect to me. It was one the reasons why I don’t have any problem on managing the class. When I gave the activity to them my expectation was not failed because they are active eventhough the time is 1pm (siesta time). And the best part I love was when I discussed the topic to them which was all about the Parts of a Paragraph and also characteristics of a well-constructive Paragraph. I really appreciate them for they are listening attentively to my discussion; they are not also doing some unnecessary activities during the class. Even if the topic was just simple but still they participated well in a way that when I asked something to them, they didn’t refused to answer it especially when I asked them about their personal insights about the literature I gave to them.
         On the negative side, I didn’t able to manage the time well because I was not able to give them exercises after the discussion. Because of that, I decided to make it as their assignment. I do not know if they did it because I was not able to ask ma’am Caresusa.
 But generally speaking, I am satisfied with my demonstration because I know that I’ve delivered well the lesson, I know that I’m prepared before I entered the classroom and I know that students learned something from me for that span of time.
This another experience that I had will serve as my guide to do better and TO BE A GOOD AND MOST IMPORTANTLY PASSIONATE TEACHER SOMEDAY…..

MY NAME IS KHAN

                          MY NAME IS KHAN
My name in Khan is indeed a very good movie. The writer had produced a very good plot of the story based from real life situation. The actors and the actresses also have portrayed well their different roles. Most importantly the whole staff had a good idea in which they have contributed for the success of the movie.
The whole story really touched the audience’s heart and I’m sure this will made us realized the value of religion in our lives which has a great impact to our whole being. The concept of the story is very practical in which it is being observed in every society now. This made the story became beautiful and meaningful.
The whole story emphasizes of how a person having Asperger’s Syndrome, (a form of high-functioning autism that complicates socialization) changed the concept and perspective of the people around him who have negative thoughts about his religion as well as to himself. Rizvan Khan, the main character of the story walked to his journey holding the principles which his mother had taught to him, “There are two people in this world, good and bad. Good people are those who are doing good deeds and bad people are those who are doing bad deeds”. This principle was his armor as he faced bigger challenges that life offers him.
This story is an inspiring one because of how Khan had the courage and the faith to make a difference in the society where he belongs inspite of his syndrome. He never thinks that this will hinder him to prove to everyone even to the president of the United States the he’s not a terrorist and Muslims deserve to be respected to be loved also despite of having different culture and traditons.
About the issue of different religion, I can say that there was a great discrimination among the Muslims which is not reasonable. We have only one God and they are not worthy to be treated in that way for we are living in this world fairly, having the right to be happy and to be valued like other people feel. For me, this kind of condition must be change. Because of this, there will be a gap between the relationship of Christians and Muslims which is not good. This will affect our lives especially to the youth of today’s generation. This will poison their minds which can cause great chaotic situation.
I acknowledge Khan of what he did; his principles in life, his love to his family and to his religion were his inspiration to won the battle.
As a whole, I say that love is the foundation of everything. This will make things possible and it is one of the important sources of our strengths and faith.
