A New Teacher (again)
Last term P4-7 wrote a description of what they would like as a teacher, one example of which was posted on this blog here.
As the new teacher, I read, marked the work and also took a tally of how many pupils used certain describing words. So for example, the word fair was mentioned by six different pupils.
Above is a Wordle. Wordle allows you to select a piece of writing and counts how often a word is used. It then makes words that are used more often bigger and displays them as a word cloud. In this case, I entered the describing words according to how many times they were used, and the Wordle above displays what P4-7 are looking for in a teacher.
Food for thought.
