Oblation and Rizal

Sa pakikidigma at pamimiyapis ang alay ng iba'y ang buhay na kipkip, walang agam-agam, maluag sa dibdib, matamis sa puso at di ikahapis. Saan man mautas ay dikailangan, cipres o laurel, lirio ma'y patungan pakikipaghamok, at ang bibitayan, yaon ay gayon din kung hiling ng Bayan. (salin ni Andres Bonifacio)

Rizal vs. Bonifacio

Rizal is middle classRizal is limited by his

social classRizal is humanRizal, like all Filipino

heroes, is a product of his time

Teaching student’s affinity to Rizal

Rizal is elite?

At 7 a.m., he was confronted with his judge, and formally notified that he was to be shot twenty-four hours later... He was ordered by the judge to sign the notification of sentence as required by law. He declined, saying that since he was innocent he could not do so. He was told that he must sign. When the document was shown to him, he drew attention to the fact that he was incorrectly described as a Chinese mestizo, saying that he was an indio puro.

-- Austin Coates, Rizal: Filipino Nationalist and Martyr (1968)

Ilang paalala sa mga kapuwa gurong nagtuturo ng kursong Rizal

Pagtatapos

1. Hikayatin ang mga estudyante na basahin ang mga nobela

“…maybe we could have expanded more our methods of analyzing like how we in class do it now—we relate it to the present time, and actually be critical about it ”

-- Ms. Arianna Zapanta (BS BE)

2. Balansehin ang obhektibo at analitikal na pagsusulit.

3. Ituro ang buhay ni Rizal at ikawing sa buhay ng mga estudyante.

4. Magtiwala sa kakayahan ng mga estudyante na magsuri.

“Laging sinasabi sa amin noon(g hayskul) na maaaring marami siyang (Rizal) nagawang mga bagay na kamangha-mangha; ngunit kung ating uunawain ang kaniyang buhay, hindi naman talaga siya naiiba sa atin. Siya ay nagkakaroon din ng mga pagkakamali at siya ay gumagalaw at nag-iisip rin tulad ng ibang tao. Dahil sa natutunan ko ito noong High School, mas nasiyahan at naganahan ako sa mga diskusyon tungkol sa pagkatao ni Rizal noong ginagawa natin ito sa PI 100.”

-- Elizha Corpus (BA Psych)

5. Tao si Rizal

6. Mahalaga ang pambansang wika.

7. Masaya ang role-playing pero hindi ito pedagohikal.

8. Ituro si Rizal bilang makabayan.
