I am lucky to have had great teachers in my life. Since I started teaching this year, I have spent a lot of time thinking about what makes a good teacher even b 81 . I hope someday to have students feel about me the way I feel about Mrs. Mitchell (1st grade), Mrs. Porter (4th grade), Mrs. Morin (9th grade History), Mr. Turner (11th grade History), Mrs. Fields (12th grade Biology), and so many more through all these years.
I may not know what the magic is for a great teacher but I do know that there are a few c 82 characteristics( 特点) among those I have met.
● All my favourite teachers taught me both “the w 83 ” of the course or class and also “the why” — why it was important to learn to read, to count, to write an article, to understand the

different parts of health system.
● All my favourite teachers whose names I remember and whose lessons helped shape the person I am today respected me and expected respect f 84 me. Questions were expected and valued. There was always too much to d 85 , to challenge, to learn.
● All my favourite teachers’ classes stretched(延伸) outside the c 86 . When I was younger, I could ask a great teacher a question in the hallway or on the playground and know I would get a smile, an encouragement and an answer. As I got older, I could email questions to my teachers, come early to school or stay l 87 after a lecture to further study a point, or ask for advice.
Even today, when I think of one of my favorite teachers or two, I hope I am making them proud.
