All hail the Wave Leader, Mr. Ross! Teachers all have different ways of helping their students learn. As teachers, they’ll find the best way possible to get their students engaged in learning. Take for example The Mr. Ross in The Wave by Todd Strasser wanted to develop a new way to teach his students, so he came up with the wave. Which was a group in which every student was equal and more organized, nobody had judged those in the wave. But this could have been used to manipulate the students to do what Mr. Ross wanted. Another teaching method would be Ms. Gruwell Erin had been teaching students that had been considered unteachable by the school. She had them write how they wrote. It was a way in which they could share their emotions/feelings of the past, present, and future. If she learned more about their lives and how they felt she could have made a new system in which they could enjoy learning. One other good example is Ms. Johnson’s teaching style in which she had taught students that had driven a teacher and 3 substitutes crazy. She had started with a drill instructor attitude. When she manipulated her students it was through hugs and …show more content…
Ross had been asked a question to a lesson he had taught but couldn't answer, so he came up with the wave an experiment in which the students would know how it was to live in Nazi Germany. This experiment spread throughout the school till the point in which students skipped their classes to go to his. The students had done what he would expect. He told them if they are to answer a question to stand was manipulating them, they had lost their sense of what's right or wrong and their individuality. This method had later on collapsed because students hadn’t been acting like themselves. Mr. Ross's intentions had been good he underestimated the effect it would have on the students. Therefore, the principal had asked him to shut the Wave down. He had done all that in order to teach his students how rule under Nazi Germany
By reading The Wave by Todd Strasser, chapter 1 to 5 (pg.1-40), I really interested about (Chapter 2) what Amy asks Ben in the history class, why there’s no Germans didn’t stop the Nazis from killing Jewish? Ben says that after the war, many German people said that they don’t know what Hitler was doing. A lot of students (include me) don’t understand how German people said that they don’t know, it’s a very big event happen at that time period, how could they don’t know! (Chapter 4) Ben tries to help the students more understand about the Nazis and German people, so he thinks that why don’t let the students taste of what life in Nazi Germany.
Whenever she got to learning about human revolution, it disturbed her because she was a christian and she new it was a lie. When she was in the 12th grade, her class discussed trial marriages, people living together before marriage to see their compatibility, and she thought it was not right in her eyes. She had different awards in courses like bible lessons, leadership, and computer courses. She started playing the piano for her church and that was one thing she is always been grateful for.

A picture of the teacher as a passionate, dedicated advocate for students is the one that was painted by Gregory Michie in See You When We Get There: Teaching for Change in Urban Schools. Michie presented the teachers in his books as individuals who needed to work tirelessly to overcome obstacles that the students and the teachers confronted. The teachers strove to overcome these obstacles because doing so was what they thought was in the best interests of their students. See You When We Get There tells the story of five Chicago teachers and their students as presented by Michie. He works to illustrate what he believes to be the most honest view of the way these individuals succeed and fail in their daily lives in urban schools.
In her second year, Ruby was able to enjoy a diverse classroom environment with African American peers, which brought her a sense of
An important point I learned after reading Holler if You Can Hear Me by Gregory Michie is that teachers should care about their students because students will learn more if they know you care and then they will care to learn . Mr. Mitchie believes his students don’t care enough to learn about sexism, but the truth was that they were tired of spending 2 weeks on the same lesson. Mr. Mitchie will then get angry at his class and tell them that if they didn’t care to learn then he wouldn’t make them. In another instant a teacher named Miss. Reilly was tired of her class not listening to her that she threatened to quit, but a student named Samuel wrote her a letter and told her not quit.

Laurie thought Mr. ross was taking the experiment too long and she disagreed with what he was doing. The wave was a class experiment, the class showed what the Germans were like but, the students didn't know it was related to
The actions of Mr Ross throughout the book represents the key ideas of manipulation and control throughout the novel. This can be seen many times in the book, one key example is the formation of The Wave, Mr Ross teaches the principles of power through discipline to his student, this was meant to be a way of introducing them to how the Nazi’s were operated. However in the creation of the Wave Mr Ross manipulates his students trust in him, he uses this trust to begin an experiment. Mr Ross abuses his power to take control of the students, most of whom are not able to think rationally about the situation and simply follow his orders, this shows manipulation as he guides the students into believing that they are superior to non-members of The

Throughout The Wave we see how power can change an individual. This is evident through the power of the individuals in Mr. Ross’s classroom which is a setting that shows the hierarchy between the students.
