Redemption 2: Heathcliff and Catherine in Wuthering Heights

Hello my long distance people,

It has been a month since you sat for your final. I know you don't want to think anymore about EDU 3215. It's done and over with. But my people, i'm offering you an opportunity to make changes to your fate. But alas it is your choice.

The relationship between Heathcliff and Cathy has always fascinated me. My fascination is also based on how each of you people looks at this relationship differently.How would you categorize their relationship and are you as enchanted/enthralled as me with their twist of fate or are you repulsed by the ugliness shown by excessive emotions?

Reminder: Micro teaching and Reflections

Hi Everyone from Near and Far,

There are still a number of you who haven't send in their recordings of the micro teaching. Please do so pronto! Those who have forgotten to include their reflections in the assignment 2, please reflect now and email the soft copy to me at juridah.rashid@gmail.com. You want to do good right? Do not Delay!

Redemption 1: Edna and her narrative in The Awakening

Edna has never failed to invoke heated discussions in any of my novel classes. She is a character that you love to love and love to hate. She has always been an example of a strong female character. Is it wrong to be happy? Isn't that what every individual in this world seeks for? But in pursuit of her happiness death overtakes her. So my question to you people, does she choose death or death chooses her?

Micro of a micro of a Micro

Hi again,

I guess I am on a roll. Since I am here I might as well pacify those hearts that are still patty-patter over the micro teaching. Micro teaching is to be done during the second face to face meeting. But if you are willing to come to campus on other dates I would welcome that as on the same weekend I have another round of evaluation. I have to evaluate students performance for EDU 3202 Theatre in TESL. Those who cannot come to Serdang for evaluation please let me know as I have to make arrangements with your tutor for the rubric of the evaluation.

I will try to post topics for micro teaching by tonight. All the best for your mid-semester examination.

Expectations of Great Expectations

Hi,
I have received numerous emails asking me where are those entries I promised previously. Sorry people. Somehow or rather things got caught up in my way. I wasn't sure what it was but here I am. Are you ready?

I have read Great Expectations more than 10 times. Yeah..I know many of you must have thought how morbid I am. I think you must have questioned my sanity when I said I love reading the novel. But each time I read Great Expectations I find something new. I think it is because each time I read the narrative, my focus would be different.

In your readings of Great Expectations, I am sure you would have focused on the elements of LOVE (yeah..love), education, moral, economy, culture and social status. But for your first time sharing here in this space, I would like you to look at the elements of abuse.Remember, abuse can be in the form or physical, emotional, intellectual etc. What are the forms of abuse you have stumbled upon in your readings and what are the effects of those abuse on the individuals you have chosen to focus on.

p.s. the extra vitamin c from the oranges abundance during Chinese New Year would definitely help you out here...
