“A Beautiful Gift for a Future Teacher”

First of all, I enjoyed reading the article “11 Techniques for a Better Classroom Discipline” which seemed highly interesting to me. This article gives many useful techniques that, as a future teacher, it is important I am aware of them.

Moreover, while I was reading the article I went back on time and I remembered that when I was at school I could not realize what to be a teacher means. Nowadays, I can see how exhausting but rewarding the teacher’s profession could be if you love it and apply the right techniques in a class.

On the other hand, as an English Pedagogy student who is used to speaking soft I have always worried about how I would face, perhaps, more than 40 children in a classroom. Then, after reading the article I feel more relaxed because I have realized I can take advantage of my soft voice. Making children know my way of working and let them know me better I can get the attention and respect that I need from them without I speak louder and without they feel I want to compete with them. As a result, children and I could enjoy an effective class which developed in a comfortable atmosphere.

  1. This is a well thought-out response, but it looks like you forgot to use emphatic language and underline examples of it for me. Look back at the instructions on the class blog...

  2. I Agree with your thoughts Monica.
    I think the same as you, because being a teacher is very, very difficult. A teacher is parents, doctor, psychologist, etc. So we won't be only a teacher.
    On the other hand, reading your post, I can't see which techniques you agree or you don't and why. Also as teachers says yo have to underline those ones.
    Good Job!!
    Bye
