REFLECTION:

This assignment required us to find out a suitable software or website to assist our students in reading, writing or speaking.In order to come out with a good lesson plan, we have to know how to estimate and manage time for certain tasks. Besides, it is important to relate our learning outcome with the tasks that we assigned to our students. Later from the tasks we will know whether the students achieved the learning outcome or not.

Moreover, at the beginning, we found that it was really difficult to find out a suitable software to assist the students. We have to be aware whether the website was used friendly or difficult to be accessed by our students.In this task, it was really important to consult with our lecturer more often. We have to make sure that the website chosen was interactive and interesting which will encourage the students to be active and participative in class.

From this assignment, we found that, it will help us in future, in order to be a good teacher or lecturer. Besides, we also noticed the importance of technology in helping the development in learning and teaching.

REFLECTIONS:

This assignment is challenging. It is not as easy as it looks. It is our first time doing such exercise, when first our lecturer asked us to make a lesson plan, we thought it was an easy work, but when we start working on it, we find a lot of difficulties and face a lot of consequences, especially when it comes to looking for the write website or the software, we has a very hard time.

we never thought that being a teacher has other problems than teaching and marking. We search in different places just to find a suitable website to make it easy to the students. Well, thanks to Allah The Almighty and to our dear teacher who was tolerant with us and gave us a lot of instruction, so we reached to this lesson plan. We learnt a lot from doing this exercises. It taught us on how to be patient and things in life sometimes need more than time.

At the beginning, we thought my own problem is the time, to manage doing this assignment with my all other subjects requirement. I hope from my heart that it is a very beneficial lesson plan to all of us.

... gLaNcEs IN RnJ,m.N.d & oThELLo ...

....if a light glance were to be given to the three plays that is R & J, MND and Othello, we can find a 'bridge' which we can relate to the Islamic teaching.. They are :

1-To obey and respect our parents eventhough they are not in the religion with us...it is stated in the Hadith Muslim that :

From Asma' binti Abu Bakar r.a says : when the fight with the Quraisy was in a bit peace, my mother who at that time still a musyrik came to me. so i asked the permission from the Holy Prophet s.a.w by saying that,"ya Rasulullah,my mother has come because she miss me.can i see her?" Rasulullah said, "yes,go and see your mother" ..

The explaination of that Hadith are :

* husband or mother has a big power. husband has a power over his wife and mother has power over her children. Allah will be angry at those who hurt the feelings of any of the two which are "the husband and the mother".

* Parents deserve the respect and love from their children eventhough they are not Muslims and turn from Allah.

* Islam prohibits children from being rude to their parents and to say harsh words toward them not even the simplest reaction which is "uff" in Arabic which means, "aah" or "watever".

As stated in the Qur’an Surah Al-Isra’ : 23

"Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour.

"It is also stated in Al-isra' : 24

"And, out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say: "My Lord! bestow on them thy Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood."

2- Islam prohibit its followers from commiting suicide:

Rasulullah s.a.w said that: “ those who commit suicide with something sharp, he will hold the things to stab himself in the Hell. It will continuesly forever.those who drinks poison until he die,he will forever continuing drinking the poison in the Hell. Those who jump from the mountain to kill himself, he will fall himself into the Hell forever.”An-Nisa : 29

"O ye who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves in vanities: But let there be amongst you Traffic and trade by mutual good-will: Nor kill (or destroy) yourselves: for verily God hath been to you Most Merciful!"

3- avoid adultery:

From Anas r.a, the Holy Prophet Muhammad s.a.w had gave the Hadith which means,"among the signs of the coming of Qiamah are, 1-religious knowledge were taken back (away from the ulama') , 2- no knowledge over the religion, 3-drinking alcohol (common things), 4-adultary were kargely practice and opened.

explaination on the Hadith:

Ali bin Abi Talib said: there will come a time when Islam is just a name, religion is just its shape, al-Quran were just to be read, they build the mosque but the mosque were silence from zikr over the names of Allah. The very bad person at that time are the ulama’,from them will occur the fitnah and it will be back to them and all of that are the signs of the coming of Qiamah”.

"The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication,- flog each of them with a hundred stripes: Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by God, if ye believe in God and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment." (An-Nur : 24)

"Let no man guilty of adultery or fornication marry and but a woman similarly guilty, or an Unbeliever: nor let any but such a man or an Unbeliever marry such a woman: to the Believers such a thing is forbidden." (An-nur : 3)

4- In order to get marry, daughters need the blessings and the parents permission. for the daughter, she will need a 'wali' for her wedding.

* From Abi Musa r.a, Rasulullah s.a.w said that,"there is no marriage unless with the presence of 'wali' " (Al-Khamsah dan An-Nasai)

5- Do not believe the news easily for it might be just a slander.

"Those who brought forward the lie are a body among yourselves: think it not to be an evil to you; On the contrary it is good for you: to every man among them (will come the punishment) of the sin that he earned, and to him who took on himself the lead among them, will be a penalty grievous." (An-Nur : 11)

6- Killing in Islam:
It is stated in Al-Qur’an surah Al-Baqarah : 178

'O ye who believe! the law of equality is prescribed to you in cases of murder: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, the woman for the woman. But if any remission is made by the brother of the slain, then grant any reasonable demand, and compensate him with handsome gratitude, this is a concession and a Mercy from your Lord. After this whoever exceeds the limits shall be in grave penalty." (Al-baqarah : 178)
