My Favorite Teacher

Mrs. Key is my favorite middle school science teacher in ISQ whom I will never forget. Saying that she is my favorite teacher already defines how I value Mrs. Key as a teacher in my life, but here are some reasons why I considered Mrs. Key, a memorable science teacher: her personality and teaching skills. First of all, Mrs. Key is a highly esteemed and responsible teacher to me. Compared to other middle school teachers, she is strict on time and gives out tardy often to students who are even one or two minutes late to her class. Since I have had her for two years and knew very well about her, I also became strict on time; therefore, I have never received any tardy for entire school year. Through this experience, I was able to learn a good

Key utilizes teaching skills effectively with her students and help them to learn. She always uses visual aids such as PowerPoint, video and animation that relates to the lesson she is teaching, which supports me to understand topics easily. Also, she often requires students to write their own summaries after reading textbooks and take notes by ourselves. Since I am a visual learner, I already have a tendency to write summaries and organize information from books, but I like how Mrs. Key taught me writing notes. Mrs. Key emphasized me the importance of diagrams and analyzing graphs, especially in the field of science. Then I started to take notes based on how Mrs. Key has suggested. Surprisingly, I improved my skills of analyzing and interpreting data and graphs as well as comprehension skill; therefore, I earned a higher grade in science and even in some other subjects. For instance, I struggled to examin graph of acceleration and displacement. Back then I did not know how important analyzing graphs was in Physics. Because I was not able to understand what graphs express, I could not solve problems and do my homework – which really disappointed me. I asked Mrs. Key about methods of analyzing data, and she explained the problem I had and taught me with graphs on textbooks. After she emphasized this, I begun to organize data and graphs from textbooks to prepare for the unit test; as a result, I earned a successful grade on that Physics test. Additionally,

I will remember her forever and not forget her since she is the one who supported me to grow as a student as she taught me with love and
