Great Idea for Your Class

Written by Lisa Burnett Thursday, 02 June 2011 07:51

Did a super simple, super cheap, super fun activity with the year 6/7 class today. Each student wrote down an interview question on something they wanted to know about their teacher. Then we randomly drew the questions out for their teachers to answer. Some of the questions were really deep -

What is your biggest fear and why?

Why did you become a teacher?

What do you do on the weekend in terms of being a dad and husband? For example, how do you look after your kids?

And of course, there were lots about hobbies, favourite foods and family life –

What is your favourite kind of ice cream?

How did you meet your wife?

When and why did you start to surf?

It was a really great way to help the kids see the person behind the teacher. The principal is next!
