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), 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_____ characteristics( 特点) among those I have met.

●All my favorite teachers taught me both “the w________” 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 favorite teachers’ classes stretched outside the c_______.
