movie review

....continuation...
Years have passed, and Mr. Brad Cohen already mature and starts looking for a job to teach, yes, he loves to teach despite of his illness. Many times he was discouraged but he did not lose hope. Eventhough after every interview they will say "no" to him. By the encouragements from his mom, girlfriend and the people knows him, he applied to a school and this time the principla really appreciate his determination to teach. So, he was accepted. On his first day to teach, some of his students laugh at him and even tease him. But beacause of determination to teach he never give up and surrender. Until his pupils accepted him and loved him. He was awarded as the teacher of the year because of his love and determination to teach evevthough he has a tourette syndrome.

-Scene that struck me most-

The scene that struck me most is when the principal where Brad Cohen trasnfeered called him in front of his teachers, friends and schoolmates and asked him he is always making such funny noise. Then the principal asked of what must they do to help him. Then he answered, that he only wants to treat him like a normal person. After he have said that, all the people stand up and clap their hands for him.
I like this scene because, it really moved me that eventhough he has an illness, he also is a person created by God and that we should treat and accept this kind of people because that is all they want from us. Not to act as if they are aliens.

- Strategies used-

The teaching strategies used by Mr. Cohen is that you can see in his eyes the way he handles his class, that he love what he is doing, he really feel it and that very important if you are teaching. H eputs his self in the situation based on his topic. He acts like he is still a child to get the attention of his students. He talks like a child while teaching and give jokes to make his class fun and not boring. Asking questions is also his strategy while teaching. What Mr. Brad Cohen's strategies used while teaching is very important and effective. I like the way how he teaches his students.
