Analysis:

Regarding to the planning presented, we discover that by using new activities which students participate actively through the process they will get a better perception and understanding along with the teacher by implementing creative activities. Some of the activities will wake up skills and critical thinking enriching the student’s cognition.

REACTION PAPER

Teacher attitudes affect student’s performance in all areas, when a teacher come to the classroom with an angry or irritated mood; students automatically perceive it, in a manner the teacher talks, behaves, explains the subject and especially in how the professor is expressing to her/his students.
Sometimes the manner how to ask for home works, answers, questions, participation make students to feel fear to talk or express something useful and meaningful in their learning process, in order words any activity would be excellent if the students do not feel the connection with the teacher. It can create frustration or less attention for the subject.
On the other hand, some students believe that it does not matter what their teachers do. It won’t make them mad because they know that the teachers just want to help them.
Teachers and students should trust each other. Students have to realize that teachers are here because they love teaching. Just as well, teachers need to know that students love learning and that’s why they are here for. But if the teacher does not feel it, students will get down the performance, but the best way to avoid it is creating a good communication.

For creating exciting classes is important to innovate, but it doesn’t mean to use technology which is very useful by the way, but it is not the only tool to employ for having good classes. The authentic material gives students curiosity to learn and be interest for any topic; because students feel the necessity to participate in classes; with the fun activities teacher uses and the attractive material.

Biography of Socrates

There are many interesting aspects related with Socrates’ biography the first peculiarity of him was his affiliation of a special religious mission, of which he believed that he had received oracular intimation. He starts helping some political people giving some advices about the future things related with politic but those have not sense or reality at all. He tried the same experiment on other politicians, then on poets, and lastly on artists and artisans, and with the same result. Thereupon, he considered it as a duty imposed on him by the Delphian god, to cross-question men of all degrees, as to their knowledge, to make them conscious of their ignorance, and so put them in the way of becoming wise.
He had a difficult situation to face because of his religion which gave him the follow sentence "Socrates is guilty of crime; first, for not worshipping the gods whom the city worships, and for introducing new divinities of his own; next for corrupting the youth. The penalty due is death." Gratefully his defense was preserved by Plato, under the title Apology of Socrates. He dwelt on his mission to convict men of their ignorance for their ultimate benefit; therefore by a majority of five or six he was adjudged guilty and sentenced to death by poison. The last day of his life he passed in conversation with his friends on the Immortality of the soul. He then drank the hemlock, and passed away with the dignity and calmness becoming his past career.
Another interesting point related with Socrates life was his paradoxes. It is the most impress believes with distinguish Socrates to other philosopher; Socrates believes that there are not any desire evil, also that the virtue is Knowledge and it is enough for happiness, but his own phrase with gives him a special characteristic as philosopher and it was "I know that I know nothing” Therefore the conventional interpretation of this remark is that Socrates' wisdom was limited to an awareness of his own ignorance. However, this is not accepted by every scholar. One extremely minority view is that Socrates may have been making a bolder claim, that is, to know 'nothingness', a claim which some scholars have linked to Ancient Chinese philosophy and in particular Taoism.
With all these relevant situations faced and lived by Socrates, the most important is to rename he was deeply intelligent man more than he knew and believed. People did not understand the intelligence degree he had, for that reason most of the people mark as a foolish one or a no understandable person, with it he suffer incomprehension but his own told him he was right. In my personal opinion is difficult to survive satisfactory in a place where nobody believe or understand you, Nonetheless he did it well and try to convey people about his believes, specially the religious one which express he was sent with a special religious mission. Every single thinking he has was thought questions what made more difficult his understanding from the rest of the people.
