(1) Discussion of the movie, The Ron Clark story
In the class on Monday, students can give a short oral review of the movie in small groups (with some random feedback to the class), but for your comments here, I want you to concentrate on a few questions:
1. What lesson(s) did you learn from the movie?
2. How would you describe Mr Clark (what kind of teacher is he)?
3. What impressed you the most of this movie (or what was the most interesting or exciting to you)?
(2) Identity: Picture association in small groups for discussion.

We all know that one's habits or minds are quite difficult to change. Although Mr.Clark also feels depressed, things get to be better after his perseverance.
The most impressive scene to me is that Mr.Clark found Tayshawn who had been fought by his father.How many talents have been obliterated by this question? Fortunately，the boy became more confident because of Mr.Clark's encouragement.I believe he will be an artist one day.And Shameika,and every student of his class all do well in their exam.
Wish more and more people can find their children‘s talent.
Yes Sun Huanmeng, this one teacher's love and care for his students changed many lives - not only his students', but it appears that the parents and some of his colleagues' lives were also touched by his selflessness. We need more such teachers in today's world. But where are they ..?
Feng Dongli, I absolutely agree with you that love has no borders. But I get the impression that not many people believe that as I don't often witness that around me. If the people of this world would just acknowledge that and apply it, the world would become a better place to live in. But I unfortunately can't agree with you about teaching being the most selfless job ... Because there are too many teachers (most) who are just doing it as a job and they don't care about the students (some pretend to, but they don't really mean it). I haven't seen too many selfless teachers so far. Those teachers are very rare. I hope you would meet one one day!
I think we all admire Mr Clark after seeing what he'd achieved with his students, Men Yaqiong. But of course, what touched one most, was his humanity (kindheartedness, compassion, mercy, sympathy). Teachers need to be like that to get the best out of there students. Maybe we are not trying hard enough; not giving enough of ourselves (as selflessly as Mr Clark) ..
Yeah, I agree Wu Ting, Mr Clark was a true model teacher. If there were more teachers like him, the world would have been a better place (and more happier students!). And yes, it was impressive that he was even prepared to help them with their homework and gave extra lessons after hours. What an example to us teachers ..!
What do you mean about every student being an 'angle', Xi Rui? Do you perhaps mean, 'angel'? Haha, I'm not so sure about that; I've seen really bad students too! But I think Mr Clark was a 'born' teacher as he applied effective teaching methods, and his initiative and total approach to teaching were proof of that.
I agree, Zheng Chunyu, he set an example which all teachers should follow. But of course, that is not so easy! Mr Clark was one of a kind, I think; a very special teacher. To copy him would be a huge task for many other teachers (including myself - I have too many shortcomings as a person!). But it would remain a great challenge and those of us who know about such great teachers, should really strive to at least come closer to that!
From the movie,i learn a lot of things.It let me think the relation between teachers and students can become the friendship(we can play a joke,help to each other and so on).We don't give up anything if we really want to achieve it.We must try to do it.As the sayings that:Where there is a will,there is a way.Only we believe us,we can have more power to do it.
Yes Helen, I also think the relationships between teachers and their students can improve so that they can rather be regarded as friends than the usual authoritative figure (teacher) and lower beings (students!). Teachers would be nothing without students! We should appreciate our students more!
