3. A teacher should know everything. Check yourself and explain the following:

1) Who is Maurice Maeterlinck, Michaelangelo, George Eliot, Sherlock Holmes?

2) Who wrote "David Copperfield", or "Cinderella", or "Ivanhoe", or "Alice in Wonderland", or "Robinson Crusoe", or "Jane Eyre"?

Read a letter of one of the intending teachers, answer the questions below the letter.

 

October, 25th

Dear Daddy Long-Legs,

College gets nicer and nicer, I like the girls and the teachers and the classes and the campus and the things to eat. We have ice-cream twice a week and we never have corn-meal mush.

The trouble with college is that you are expected to know such a lot of things you've never learned. It's very embarrassing at times. I made an awful mistake the first day. Somebody mentioned Maurice Maeterlinck, and I asked if she was a freshman. The joke has gone all over college.

Did you ever hear of Michaelangelo? He was a famous artist who lived in Italy in the Middle Ages. Everybody in English Literature seemed to know about him, and the whole class laughed because I thought he was an archangel. He sounds like an archangel, doesn't he?

But now, when the girls talk about the things that I never heard of, I just keep still and look them up in the encyclopedia. And anyway, I'm just as bright in class as any of the others, and brighter than some of them!

And you know, Daddy, I have a new unbreakable rule: never to study at night, no matter how many written reviews are coming in the morning. Instead, I read just plain books — I have to, you know, because there are eighteen blank years behind me. You wouldn't believe what an abyss of ignorance my mind is; I am just realizing the depths myself.

I never read "David Copperfield", or "Cinderella", or "Ivanhoe", or "Alice in Wonderland", or "Robinson Crusoe", or "Jane Eyre". I didn't know that Henry the Eighth was married more than once or that Shelley was a poet. I didn't know that people used to be monkeys, or that George Eliot was a lady. I had never seen a picture of the "Mona Lisa" and (it's true but you won't believe it) I had never heard of Sherlock Holmes.

Now I know all of these things and a lot of others besides, but you can see how much I need to catch up.

 

1. What did Judy mean by classes and campus? 2. Why did Judy mention ice-cream and соrn-meal mush in her letter? 3. What did Judy think was the trouble with college? 4. What joke had gone all over college? 5. Why did Judy keep still when the girls spoke about things she didn't know? 6. Why didn't Judy study at night, no matter how many written reviews were coming in the morning? 7. In what way did Judy want to catch up with the group?

Discuss with a partner what the qualities of a good teacher are. Make up a dialogue presenting your point of view on characters and education a teacher needs.

6. Continue the text on the part of the teacher. You may find the following ideas useful:

A good teacher is one who learns all the time, from life, from colleagues, from children; a professional teacher integrates theory and practice; this sort of work demands great patience; there are many skills necessary for good teaching.

 

WHAT'S YOUR LINE?


This song is for those

Who heard the silent cries

Who stepped in to wipe the tears

From the children’s eyes

For those who gave us

A safe place to grow

A place for us to call our home

Forever we will know … that

 

You have made a difference

You have shaped our minds

You have changed the world

One child at a time

You have always been there

In everything you do

I hope that you’re as proud of me

As I am proud of you.


1. Guess what do these words mean, write them down under the pictures, and put them into the sentence below:

       

 

One hundred years from now … it will not matter what … I had, or what kind of … I drove, or how much … was in my bank account, but that I made the difference in the life of a ….


 

2. Read a quotation on a teacher’s role in our life. Suggest your own metaphors on teachers and their work. Explain your ideas.
