It starts with the student who should be prepared, interested, and eager to learn. Students would have no idea what to do if it weren't for a teacher who is, passionate, compassionate, relatable, and can really connect with his/her students. Together these make a class that is a mixture of all these great qualities shown by the people making up a class.

The biggest thing for me that makes a teacher enjoyable, is not having multiple HW assignments that we have to complete at once. Good english teachers don't spend class period after class period lecturing, they let us talk and share our ideas with our peers in small groups.

Teachers should also understand the students point of view and work with this and not against it. A good teacher is passionate about the subject they are teaching and creative in the ways that they go about teaching it. A good student is a person who actively listens and wants to learn how the taught material can help them in the world. A good class is that of which everyone can feel accepted and ideas can freely be presented without judgement. <br /><br />This year I expect to write a stellar college essay in the hope that I will get into the Leeds School of Business, and I expect to learn about different pieces of literature and to fine tune my writing skills.

A good teacher is someone who is understanding and is always willing to help their student's grow through different aspects. A good class is always prepared to learn and not afraid to take on challenges and goals set for them. A good class respects their teacher's time, words, and ideas. A good student is one who is willing to help and work with others and respects their peers' time, words, and ideas. Over the course of this year I hope to grow in terms of being able to analyze novels and books and understand them from a bigger perspective.

The teacher is never afraid to step in when needed and is never afraid to try new ideas that might better learning. A good class is always composed of students and teacher that are ready to take on the days assignments. A good student is always on time for class with the needed material that is needed for the day. A good student is also someone who participates with the class and helps those around if they are struggling.

A class that is engaged and paying attention will have success in this classroom. Good students embody focus and stay on task. Also they will be responsible and complete all the homework on time with there best effort. They will respect the other students in the class and the teacher. The teacher needs to make sure to be diligent, thoughtful and helpful to the students in their class.

Good students are those who pay attention and cooperate with the teacher's demands by tending to their every whim whilst simultaneously being able to think on their own. A good class is made by the combination of said good teacher and student, together, anything is possible. As for myself, I expect that I will try my hardest to acquire the almighty "A." English, I admit, is my weakest subject and I sincerely despise it. However, I will demonstrate my will power, by forcing myself to dredge through another year of my nemesis in order to achieve my goal of a good GPA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436129507350283113.post-20918138504046543972015-08-17T05:32:55.054-07:002015-08-17T05:32:55.054-07:00The basic qualities of a good teacher are empathy ...The basic qualities of a good teacher are empathy and a desire to share knowledge - these two qualities alone allow for a good student or a good class to shine. A good student is one who is usually engaged in class, appreciates the value of the material being taught, and does not disrespect the teacher (i.e. tardies, late work). A good class is one with good teachers and good students who feel comfortable in their learning environment and can effectively cover material.<br /><br />I expect myself to do my best this semester through contributions to the class and giving all of my work 110% of my effort.

For a student and class, I think patience and respect is also an important quality for them to have as well, not just a teacher because everyone struggles with trying to get out of their comfort zone and being more open-minded in the class, so I think patience with one another goes a long way with everyone and helps people feel more confident in what they are learning in a classroom. Also respect shows people being comfortable with one another and being able to be themselves in the classroom and able to talk and share their opinions on things.<br /><br /> I expect for myself to try hard in class by asking questions and being able to share my opinions if I agree or disagree on a discussion that the class is having. I expect from Smith to prepare me for college and I expect the class to help me be open-minded on all of our opinions and recognize that people have different outlooks on what we are discussing about in class.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436129507350283113.post-7824239729113039272015-08-16T22:03:40.708-07:002015-08-16T22:03:40.708-07:00I feel that the best quality a teacher, a student,...I feel that the best quality a teacher, a student, and a class share is comprehension. If a teacher isn't on board with what the kids are doing and thinking then nobody will benefit from the situation and vice versa. Another quality a teacher, a student, and a class need to share is patience. A student won't be able to learn if the teacher is not patient with the student and a teacher won't be able to teach anything if the students aren't patient with the teacher. We all need to be cooperative to benefit from each other. I expect Mrs Smith to be a fun, creative, and hardworking teacher. I expect her to come up with creative ideas to help us better understand English Literature. For her to do this though, the class and myself need to be understanding, quiet, hardworking, and participating in class.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436129507350283113.post-70000291983139752412015-08-16T21:04:45.753-07:002015-08-16T21:04:45.753-07:00I love the fact how you used communication in your...I love the fact how you used communication in your response! I didn't even think of that and looking back on my best classes so far at Arapahoe, communication has been key. There are always things that maybe your teacher or classmates don't see or recognize and its important to communicate with them. I love when people share out and it makes the whole class go into a creative flow and, like you said, it keeps the students engaged and active when there are new ideas thrown out.

Teachers tend to be wonderful human beings who are interested in others and I believe that if a teacher does not have an open mind about each student and how they learn and stay engaged, then the class won’t be enjoyable. Not only is it important for a teacher to be ok with differences, but also students. Students should respect the way others learn and also respect the teacher and appreciate how they tend to teach. If you go into a class telling yourself that there is only one teacher right for you or only certain things you like about certain classes, then the year won’t be a good one. Everyone needs to embody an open mind and a positive attitude. <br /><br />My expectations of myself are very high because I enjoy writing and reading. I want to prove to myself that I am talented and have the ability to work hard for my future and for the now. For Smith and the rest of the class, I am having the expectation of becoming close as a whole. I feel that literature classes always have that extra bond because of the conversations held in class. I am so excited to see what the year holds!
