    Harmer (1991,56) that the wise teacher no longer invites students to enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads them to the threshold of their own mind. In this line, Harmer (1991) and Shulman and Hammerness (2002) clarified that teachers' responsibility is no longer providing students with knowledge, or controlling them in the classroom, but to facilitate learning, to employ inspiring pedagogy that instigates higher-order thinking, to be aware of students' prior knowledge, to organize it in a way engage students in activities, and to observe them and provide corrective feedback. In other words, a teachers' job is not just to stand at the front of the class and lecture. EFL teachers' performance is high on any policy agenda;…

    As I research more my topic of teachers’ part in moral and character development, I related to the statement on page 149, “like it or not, who we are and what we do impact our students. By virtue of being the teacher, our words, actions, nonverbal communication, and attitudes become part of every academic lesson we plan and implement, as well as every teacher-student encounter and interaction”. This is really the mic-drop statement for my project II paper, the crux of why I chose this topic. None of us is perfect as a person and students get to the point where they realize that, but they spend so much time with their teachers, nearly as much as with their own families, that teachers need to always be cognizant of what is being said and done, left unsaid and undone, leading by example, modeling appropriate behaviors in and out of instruction. I refer again to the teacher interviews I did as this was a question I covered with them as well: do you think how you live outside of school affects how you are as a teacher?…

    In society, nothing is perfect. There are always going to be kinks in the system and there are always going to be unhappy people. We can try our best to make everyone happy, but no human is perfect. There are some ways to create a better society for the common good and these examples were shown throughout the readings in class. We can form a more just society for the common good by celebrating our differences, fighting for what is right, and helping the poor as seen in the readings Nostra Aetate, Letter from Birmingham City Jail, and The Option for the Poor Arises from Faith in Christ.…

    This essay will cover the issue of scoffers and the Parousia. The theme of 2 Peter 3:3-10 is Christ’s second return, the problem of the scoffers who will come and bring lies into the church as well as the reason for the delayed Parousia. 2 Peter 3:3-4 encompasses the problem of the scoffers who are doubting Christs second return and what they will follow.
