I decided at ten that I was going to be a teacher because I wanted superpowers. When I was (1)  primary school, I could clearly see that some of my teachers had extraordinary powers. I was always the one student in class (2)  on what my teachers taught daily, paying attention to every detail.Our English teacher could magically transport us to different worlds every day, simply by (3)  us stories, creating that exciting adrenaline rush (4)  using actions and varying the pitch of his (5) to dramatise the book he was reading. Then there was the principal of the school (6) knew everything about every child. You could not avoid her laser-like eyes that could (7)  right into you. That was a scary superpower. Her hawk-eyed scrutiny often left us feeling like there was (8)  escape.Our art teacher could see the 'invisible'. I was (9)  of those who remained invisible, being rather quiet and shy as a child. (10) , my teacher would notice me. The unspoken message in her super-powered eyes affirmed me, "I see, know (11)  understand you." She knew when I felt lost and would (12)  an ear to hear me out. She would unconditionally offer sound (13) . Being a dreamer, I found school a bit trying (14)  times. After four decades, I could still vividly remember how she found ways to relate art to (15)  daily lives. This helped us to see how the subject could be applied in various situations.

Share your teaching style, methodology, results and what makes you a great teacher

What is the most impressive life ed lesson you had in this term? Why is that lesson so memorable?

In this paper the student will share about the best teacher that one ever had and why the teacher was so effective. The student will then share how the experiences that one had with this teacher will lead to the student becoming a really effective teacher.

I miss the old days where I’d make little stories (I kinda still do) in class and then ask the teacher if I can read it at the end of the class. I would literally do it all the time until 5th grade. Now, I cannot imagine myself creating a story in class and then asking my teacher if I can literally stand in front of the classroom and read a story that I MYSELF came up with and created, to the students. Like wow… I’m just realizing how confident I was when I was younger. And I’d add like little games in the story like I’d mention a number multiple times and then at the end of the story I will ask the class how many times did I mention that number in the story and whoever gets it right gets it right. I miss those days. I was a fun and more social person. I mean of course because I was child and didn’t care about what other people think but man..[12:21 PM]Now, I’m just wasting my teenage years rotting in bed, being anti social and insecure

One of my favorite games during my primary years was "Pretend School". In this game, my friends and I would take turns playing the roles of teachers and students. The 'teacher' would create lessons, while the 'students' would participate in the class, complete assignments, and even take tests. This game involved a variety of cognitive skills. For instance, when playing the role of the teacher, we had to plan and organize the lesson, which required problem-solving and decision-making skills. We also had to communicate effectively to explain the lesson to the 'students', which involved language and communication skills. When playing the role of the student, we had to listen attentively, understand the lesson, and apply the knowledge to complete the assignments, which required attention, comprehension, and application skills. I remember one time when I was the 'teacher', I decided to create a lesson on animals. I prepared flashcards with pictures of different animals and their names. During the 'class', I explained each animal, its characteristics, and its habitat. The 'students' had to listen carefully and then they were given a quiz where they had to match the animals with their characteristics and habitats. This game not only made us learn about animals but also helped us develop our listening, understanding, and application skillsAs you think about those play experiences in your primary years, recall the “tools” you used to set the rules of the game. Describe how those rules were established. Were they created by group consensus? Was there a “leader” who established the rules? How were disagreements managed?
