*2. TEAMMATE TRIVIA PHOTO (10 POINTS)*

Answer:

*3. HIGHLIGHT FROM CLASS (10 POINTS)*

Write 6 or more sentences about what you learned from the discussions in Breakout Room 1 and Breakout Room 2. Organize your answer into two sections (one for each breakout room).


Answer:


In Breakout Room 1, we discussed effective ways to keep students focused and engaged during lessons. We agreed that using gestures, eye contact, facial expressions, and voice variation helps maintain students' attention. We also emphasized giving students more opportunities to participate instead of letting the teacher do all the talking. I learned that interactive lessons keep students interested and improve their learning. 


In Breakout Room 2, we compared Bible translations with religions that add to or change the Bible.I understood  that a translation keeps the original message while making it easier to understand in another language, but adding or changing Scripture changes its meaning. 

We also discussed how addiction affects parenting, and I realized how deeply it can impact a child's emotional well-being and sense of security. Listening to everyone's examples made the discussion more practical and relatable. I left the session with a clearer understanding of both topics and a better appreciation of how they affect people's lives.




*4. ESL VIDEO (10 POINTS)*

Film a 1 minute video and talk about what you would do as a teacher to identify students' engagement through their eyes in different situations: Teacher talking time, group work and individual work. Post your one minute video link.





*5. ESL RESEARCH (10 POINTS)*

Do some research online and find an article that talks about students' eyes during the class. Post a link to the article and share 5 things you learned about it.


Answer:

Eye Contact Holds a Key Role in Classroom Interaction – University of Helsinki

https://www.helsinki.fi/en/news/society-and-learning/eye-contact-holds-key-role-classroom-interaction-remote-instruction-poses-challenges-engaging-students-teaching?utm_source=chatgpt.com


5 things I learned from the article

1. Eye contact helps students stay engaged.

When teachers make eye contact with students, they create a stronger connection and encourage students to pay closer attention during lessons.


2. Teachers can understand students without words.

By looking at students' faces and eyes, teachers can tell if they are confused, interested, or need extra help, even if they don't say anything. 


3. Eye contact improves learning interactions.

The research found that eye contact often happens when teachers are giving emotional encouragement or helping students think through a difficult task. 


4. Eye contact builds positive teacher–student relationships.

Students feel more supported and connected when teachers look at them while teaching instead of focusing only on the board or teaching materials. 


5. Remote learning makes eye contact more difficult.

During online lessons, teachers can easily lose many of the visual cues they normally use to judge students' understanding, making it harder to keep students engaged. 



*6. BIBLE READING (10 POINTS)*



Acts 9:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%209&version=NLT


Acts 10:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%2010&version=NLT

Yes I have read the above chapters 



*7. BIBLE QUESTIONS (10 POINTS)*


In Acts we see the Good News proclaimed, people repent of their sin, and turn to follow Jesus with their life. After becoming a Christian, we see in Acts that people gathered together in churches. Why do you think that God wants people to gather in a church?


Answer:

God wants Christians to gather in church so we can worship, learn God's Word, encourage and support one another, grow in their faith, and work together to share his Good News.


*8. TRAUMA INFORMED TEACHING (10 POINTS)*


There are many ways that parents create trauma while parenting. Remind yourself of the ways that parents can wound their children. Now, let’s talk more about the ANGRY Parent.


The angry parent has no control over their temper. The child is always in trouble, and can’t do anything right (according to the reactions from the parent). Tiny things can set off the parent’s anger and the anger is often completely unfounded. Anger at other situations can often be taken out on the child.


A. PRIVATE JOURNAL: Have you been in a situation where someone in authority over you took their frustration out on you? Have you taken out your anger on someone else? Don’t post your answer to this question. Leave a comment confirming that you have completed this assignment. 

Answer:

I have done the above assignment 

B. Reflect: Spend some time researching the Angry Parent. Answer the following two questions: (Be sure and choose reliable sources to get your information from. Please cite 2 of the sources that you got information from.


Answer:


1. What are some ways that an angry mother and an angry father would have a different effect on the child?


Answer:

As I read about this topic, I realized there isn't a simple answer because every family is different. Still, I noticed that many experts explain that children often experience a mother's and a father's anger differently. An angry mother may affect a child's sense of comfort and emotional safety because children often turn to their mothers for reassurance. When that source of comfort becomes unpredictable, a child may become anxious or find it difficult to express emotions.

An angry father, on the other hand, may have a stronger impact if the child sees him as physically intimidating or fears his reactions. Some children may become quiet, avoid making mistakes, or withdraw because they are trying to avoid another angry outburst. 


2. What are some ways that the effect would be the same, whichever parent was the angry one?


Answer:

One thing that stood out to me is that the long-term effects are often very similar, regardless of whether it is the mother or the father who is angry. Living with constant anger can make a child feel like they are always walking on eggshells. Over time, this can affect their confidence, make it harder for them to trust others, and leave them struggling to manage their own emotions. I also learned that children sometimes copy what they see, so they may grow up believing that shouting or losing control is a normal way to deal with problems.

C. Reflect: Draw a Venn diagram showing the impact of an angry parent on a family. One side should show the impact of an angry mother, while the other side should show the impact of an angry father. In the middle section, include some effects that are the same, whichever parent is the angry one. Share your Venn diagram with the group. 


Answer: 







D. The Father and Mother roles in a family are different. Answer the following questions: 


How might having an angry father impact a daughter? 


Answer:

An angry father may make a daughter feel fearful and insecure. She may struggle with self-esteem, find it difficult to trust men.


How might having an angry father impact a son? 


Answer:

A son may feel that he can never meet his father's expectations. He may also copy his father's angry behaviour, believing that anger is a normal way to solve problems.


How might having an angry mother impact a daughter? 


Answer:

An angry mother may affect a daughter's emotional security and confidence. She may become overly critical of herself, or struggle to express her emotions .


How might having an angry mother impact a son? 


Answer:

A son may feel emotionally insecure and have difficulty expressing his feelings. He may become withdrawn, anxious, or struggle to trust and communicate with women later in life. Some sons may also learn unhealthy ways of handling conflict if they grow up around frequent anger.



*9. THE CHOSEN (10 POINTS)*


Watch this episode of the Chosen. 

Season 4 Episode 1

EPISODE LINK: https://watch.thechosen.tv/video/184683596182?language=en


After watching the episode of The Chosen, answer the following questions:

A. Which scene or conversation with Jesus impacted you the most? Describe what happened.


Answer:

The scene that impacted me the most was the beheading of John the Baptist. Even though John knew the dangers of speaking the truth, he remained faithful to God and boldly confronted sin. He refused to compromise his beliefs, even when it cost him his life.


B. What did this scene teach you about Jesus and His character?


Answer:

Jesus was heartbroken at the death of John the Baptist,he grieved deeply.This shows that Jesus is love and every time we sin or do something contrary to his will,we grieve him .


C. Which Bible passage is this scene based on? (If you know it.)


Answer:

Mathew 14:1-12


D. How can you apply this truth to your daily walk with Christ?

Write at least 8–10 sentences.


Answer:

This scene reminded me that following God sometimes requires great courage and sacrifice. John the Baptist chose to obey God rather than seek the approval of people. His unwavering commitment to the truth inspired me to stand firm in my faith, even when it is difficult or unpopular. It also reminded me that God honors those who remain faithful to Him, regardless of the outcome.
