with an appropriate topic sentence!

Write a summary of your teachers roles and

responsibilities during the day and what you did to
help her in the different activities. Use the table

My teacher have some important roles to improve the
students skills. She like to make her class active,
clean and comfortable. She let them be more
responsible, like in class room they have to put their
bags in the right place without anyone help. They can
use the toilet by their own. They open their bag and
put the food out without anyone help and if they
couldnt she only teach them how to open it.

Attend a meeting.

Which role or responsibility do you think you will do well

at? Why?
I think I will be good at help them learn by music,
because I like to teach in active ways.
Which roles will be difficult for you? Why?

Also think in terms of teachers roles and

responsibilities

What surprised you?

(For example-are there any roles your teacher has that you were
surprised to find out a teacher does?)
What shocked you?
(Did your MST have to do any jobs that you were shocked about?
Something that perhaps you did not think a teacher must do or should
do?)
What delighted you?
(What roles does your MST do that you are happy about because you
like doing those things?)
Any other things you thought about while you were completing this
task.
(Maybe you thought things like, Wow! A teacher sure has to do a lot of
things during the day. Or, I wonder how s/he manages to do so much
every day.)
Ask your MST about the roles s/he prefers the most. Find out why. Are
there any s/he does not like to do that much?
