What class has left an impression on you? Did you like math, reading, spelling, science, social studies, or writing? A few classes I know that have made an impression on me are my 3rd grade math class, on parentheses and order of operations, and my 4th grade spelling class (Unit “Chen 4”).
My 3rd grade math class was one that made an
impression on me because I, along with the rest of Mrs. Greer’s other 3rd
grade students, had to dance. Right in front of the 4th graders, we
had to sing and put on a show about how to use PEMDAS (an order of operations rule - "Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.") Mrs. Greer announced
each group and called them part of the “Order of Operations Ballet”, which made
it even worse! It was very embarrassing, although I will still remember PEMDAS for a long time.
One of my 4th grade spelling classes was also a class that
is very vivid in my mind because of a very funny event that happened. During the spelling Pre-test, Ms. Chen created a sentence for the fourth
word, “raspberry” – “In the middle of summer vacation, raspberry sorbet is a
great way to cool off.” Anyway, somebody suddenly
started licking his lips! I looked at Archit and Ms. Chen, and they were
laughing hysterically. I suddenly realized – it was Archit! I expect I will remember this incident for many years to come because it was so funny.
During these two school days, many interesting things happened; however, I have no doubt I will remember these specific events for a very long time. Even though events like these may seem like normal classroom events, some will ultimately impact your students for the rest of their lives.
I would say "embarrassing" rather than "humiliating"... and from what I can see, you actually enjoy it, and remember the rules. Also, please explain what is PEMDAS, not everyone knows that.

Hmm, the impression might be too small for a writing essay and more appropriate for daily journal entry. For example, your simulation class last year -- you all have to pull your home made wagon out and to the "expedition". Further you are not just learning from text books. Learning is also about being creative, capable of creation and making things.
ReplyDeleteYou can also talk about some games (tennis baseball) from PE that make you feel the importance of team work.
Lego classes, sailing classes (learn to be persistent?), chess classes (strategy? that can apply to your daily life?)
You need to show the breadth (by different classes in this case) and depth (by further thinking of what you learned) of your thought. And do not forget details!
I think those two example aren't actually that "impression-leaving".
