Answer 1

Teaching is one of the crucial professions in nurturing students and developing a sustainable country. Once I become a teacher, I would ensure I offer the following teaching methods to my students; firstly, I would ensure I use stories and examples in my teaching. Stories and examples awaken and hold student's interest and show how gospel principles apply in daily life. For instance, when my lesson is about kindness, I would tell my students the story of Good Samaritan to understand what kindness is all about clearly. Secondly, I would ask questions that bring careful thoughts and create discussion among my students during my lessons. Asking the right questions will encourage learning and thoughtful debate in your lesson. It is because queries and discussions help students in remaining attentive throughout the class.

Thirdly, I would use technology during my lesson as a teaching method. Including technology in my teaching is a great way to actively engage my students, especially when digital media surrounds young people in the 21st century. Fourthly, visualization is another method I would during my lessons. It is because visualization brings dull academic ideas to life with visual and practical learning experiences, helping my students understand how their schooling applies in the real world. For example, I would include the use of an interactive whiteboard to display photos, audio clips, and videos and encourage my students to get out of their seats with classroom experiments and local field trips. Lastly, as a teacher, I would ensure that I use the differentiation teaching method whereby I would split my students into small groups based on their attainment.
