In an English class, the teacher was teaching idioms. To illustrate 'let the cat out of the bag', he actually brought in a cat in a bag. He was about to open the bag slowly when the cat clawed its way out suddenly, scaring some students but also making everyone remember the idiom very well.
One funny LDS teaching story could be about a young boy in Sunday school. He was trying to explain a complex religious concept he had just learned, but got all the words mixed up. Instead of making everyone confused, it ended up making everyone laugh as he tried so earnestly to get it right.
Sure. Once I was teaching the word 'umbrella'. I brought in a huge, colorful umbrella. When I opened it in the classroom, the kids were so excited. One little boy even tried to hide under it like it was a tent. Another time, when teaching animals, I made animal sounds. The students joined in and it turned into a hilarious animal sound concert.
Sure. One time, a teacher went to a student's house for a visiting teaching session. The student's pet parrot kept repeating everything the teacher said in a really comical voice. It made the whole session filled with laughter instead of the usual seriousness.
Sure. Once I was teaching math and I used a really goofy example about a magical unicorn that loved to count its sparkles to explain addition. The kids were so amused and they remembered the concept really well.
Here's another one. I was teaching my sister English at home. I made her act out different animals while learning the animal names. She was pretending to be a kangaroo and hopped all around the living room. She made up her own little story about the kangaroo going shopping, which was not part of the lesson but made the whole teaching session very fun and memorable.
There was a teacher who taught English in a very unique way. Instead of using textbooks all the time, she made the students act out famous Shakespeare plays. At first, the students were a bit shy, but soon they got into it. They made their own costumes and props. This not only improved their English but also their confidence and creativity. It was a crazy but effective teaching method.
I know a supply teaching story where the supply teacher was given very little notice to teach a high - level math class. She quickly reviewed the materials on her way to school. When she entered the class, she found the students quite unresponsive at first. So she decided to relate the math concepts to real - life examples like building a skateboard ramp. This made the concepts easier to understand and the students became more involved as the class progressed.
There was a teacher in a poor area. He noticed that the students were interested in nature but had no proper resources. So, he started an outdoor learning project. They explored the local forests, studied plants and animals. The students became more engaged in learning and their grades in science went up. They also developed a love for the environment which was a great bonus.
Sure. Once there was a cat that tried to catch its own tail. It spun around in circles, looking so confused. It was hilarious.
Of course! Let me tell you about a time when I had a class that was really challenging to engage, but we found a way to make learning fun and interactive. It was a great turning point.
