Quiz 7

Metaphor Madness:
This is a learning activity that is meant to teach metaphors for the learning disabilities that we learned about. The purpose is to better understand them. This can be challenging because you need to think of 5 different metaphors to go with each topic but by doing so you do receive a better understanding of each. To be able to complete this activity, you need to know background information on the four different topics that you are looking for metaphors of. Without knowledge of these it will be difficult to come up with good metaphors and enough metaphors to use for each. I prefer this blackboard to the other one. First of all i don't really check either, but this seems to be less of a hassle just writing on a blackboard that i can see and touch and don't need a good internet signal to use. And second, i usually check the blackboard of the classroom i enter and notice if anything is written on there and the only reason why i ever check the internet blackboard is if someone tells me that something is due and i still sometimes don't get a good sufficient answer to that question.

I didnt really know how to edit this blog based on your comments but i saw that i needed to edit it so here are my responses to your questions:

I understand that the play is meant to be used as an example of what the play is going to be about. It is also supposed to encourage others to want to come and watch it. Im sure all of them will not to be doing this lol. Reading the play which i have now done has increased my knowledge of the play. I thought the usage of giving all the characters a specific song which fits their description is a great way to get to understand the background info on the characters and better know the play. Seeing the play in action would be the best way to fully interpret the play. Teachers should know the content. But knowing everything is sometimes not always be a option. I guess the best way for teachers is to know as much as they possibly can about the subject. They should explain it in a way in which the students can understand and hopefully will not ask questions to which they do not know the answer. That is the best they can do. Study what they need to know and everything it has to do with and hopefully they will be fine. It is impossible to know everything about a subject but they can do their best to understand as much as possible.
