I think the article by Betty Ray immediately shows a great example regarding a teacher who teaches Shakespeare in an English class with energy/emotion. Shakespeare is associated with art, theater, fun, fear, love, language, drama, history, and creativity too say the least. Learning about creative authors should-be enjoyable for the students who like English. Since every language has writers who stand out. It is important to review modern writing but it is also important to continue to teach old writing. Since older writing is how the modern writing has developed today. That is very basic yet there are thousands of teacher who fail to understand the importance of old writing. Since most modern writing wouldn’t exist if the old writing didn’t come first. “Dana Dusbiber, a teacher at Luther Burbank High School in Sacramento, Calif., wrote in the Washington Post April 2015 that she dislikes teaching Shakespeare. Not only because of his challenging English. “There is a WORLD of really exciting literature out there that better speaks to the needs of my very ethnically diverse and wonderfully curious modern-day students," she argued. Dusbiber may signal a trend. The American Council of Trustees and Alumni reported in April that the majority of English majors at top U.S.A universities are not required to take a Shakespeare course.” (Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk). As an example of a teacher who hates Shakespeare, though his writing supports a lot of what the school system doesn't. Also an example of a teacher seeing that Shakespeare is lacking in Universities. The importance of historical writing/knowledge be failing to be honored by colleges. “Life-Changing Teachers Possess a Contagious Passion: A passion for education is in the blood of the best teachers—the word passion showed up 45 times in our audience responses—and the best teachers pass it on to students.Math teacher Dave Bock’s passion for his material was “contagious,” recalled Jennifer Reese. “He delivered engaging lessons that piqued our curiosities, and gave us time to puzzle through solutions in our own ways.” Far away from math class, Lisa Maree Wiles thanked David Sidwell, her music teacher who gave his students “a love for music, a respect for our craft, and the passion to always be the best we could be!” And at least one teacher’s passion was ahead of its time: Jessica Chiado Becirovic remembers her senior year English teacher, Anne Godin, who “staunchly advocated for introducing her classes to multicultural literature before it was seen by many as important and valuable. She was a pioneer with a rebellious spirit.” (Betty Ray). Ultimately people like Shakespeare from over 500 years ago reflects upon original writing that was often considered rebellious. Rebellion is what created America-U.S.A.. Yet many people fail to understand that, since many teaches fail at distinguishing how English come to be. That’s the basic foundation of English, and how society can keep evolving. That’s all there is too it. Get over it. I think understanding the basics of how most modern writing wouldn’t exist if the old writing didn’t come first. Is a start on how a teacher can organize themselves and become a little more professional. In every education class you get the repetitive information of a good teacher being someone who maintains a professional attitude, and can get along with students. Present information and understanding. That’s the basics of a good teacher. 7 questions that I think are good for building a relationship with students first starts with asking; rather or not, the student likes a particular subject. 2. Asking about the experience the student has had with the subject, since that student has a high probability of having a horrible teacher who failed at teaching the subject. 3. Asking/testing your students on what kinds of learning style works best for them. 4. Asking previous teachers what students have been taught already, and asking the students what is remembered. 5. Asking kids about their home life. 6. Talking to kids about their personal favorite things to do. 7. Giving students more power in a classroom/subject study. Sources:
