T: As a group, conduct the mock job interview in front of the class. Use the example in CP41 to help you.
A mock teacher interviewInterviewer 1: Hello, Mr. Wang, welcome to our teacher interview.Applicant: Thanks for the great opportunity. Interviewer 1: So why did you decide to become a teacher Applicant: From the time I was young, I have loved learning and appreciated the great teachers who opened new worlds for me. There’s no job more important than teaching the future leaders of our world the information they need to know, but more importantly, showing them their worth, their potential, and their ability to form their own opinions by thinking critically and observing the world around them.Interviewer 1: What makes you a good fit for this school Applicant: I am inspired by this school’s reputation for educational excellence and for encouraging creativity through its renowned arts program.Interviewer 1: What role does discipline play in teaching and what is your approach Applicant: I believe that a teacher can’t be effective without the right disciplinary approach. I prefer to explain what’s expected of my students, so they’re set up for success. Without discipline, there won’t be respect. I’ve found that a rewards system is the best method for avoiding bad behaviour. That is, using rewards enforces positive behaviour and gives children a goal to strive for.Interviewer 2: What continuing education classes, workshops, training, etc. have you attended Applicant: The district where I worked previously offered continuing education opportunities in the evenings throughout the year. I attended these sessions regularly.Interviewer 3: How have you used, or how will you use the technology Applicant: In my last classroom, the students used tablets to create and manage their own website, which proved to be a great tool for communicating with parents and allowing them to see the daily activities their kids participated in.Interviewer 3: Would you be interested in leading any after-school activities Applicant: During the summer, I am the director of a theater camp offered by the art center in town. I would love to take part in any drama clubs or performances the children participate in throughout the year. Or, if there isn’t a drama club, I’d certainly love to start one, if that’s something that the school would be interested in. While theater happens to be my personal passion, if there are any other activities that are especially in need of support and that I might be a good fit for, I’d be willing to help out however I can.Interviewer 4: How would you deal with a student who is habitually late Applicant: If a child is coming into school late on a regular basis, I would first talk with the child to see if there is anything going on in school or at home that is causing him or her to be late. After talking with the child, and depending on what they share, I would discuss with my supervisor the best possible approach to talk to the family about the repeated lateness.Interviewer 4: How would you engage a reluctant student Applicant: If a student seems reluctant to participate during a specific subject, I would use my experience working with different types of learners and adjust my teaching strategies to engage the student in a way that they would feel more comfortable to participate.Interviewer 5: What would you say to an angry parent about their child’s grade Applicant: If I have a parent who is upset about a grade their child received, I would then ask the parent(s) to help me brainstorm ways that their child might prepare for and perform better on assessments. For example, I once had a child who consistently struggled with his weekly spelling work. I asked the parent if we could think of some strategies the child could use both in the classroom and at home to improve the student’s spelling skills. Interviewer 5: What questions do you have for us Applicant: How would you describe the culture of the school What qualities do you look for in a candidate What are some of the school’s greatest achievements What extracurricular activities are offered to students

Guided reading
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) was a Scottish author who is best known for his adventure stories, especially Treasure Island (1883). Stevenson came from a well-to-do family and trained as a lawyer; however, he ultimately decided to pursue a career in writing.
In this adapted excerpt, Stevenson addresses a young man who wants to become an artist. It is likely that the author’s own experience was at the back of his mind as he wrote the text. Stevenson’s writing style is rich, which shows his passion for art and literature. In the second paragraph, he discusses the sharp emotional turns of youth through a series of opposites: “now in the airiest touch, now with a bitter hug; now with exquisite pleasure, now with cutting pain; but never with indifference, to which he is a total stranger”. This description is quite dramatic, and the reason for this can be found in the use of adjectives. For example, the young person described is not just a stranger to indifference, but a total stranger to it; likewise, Stevenson does not just mention pain, and he describes cutting pain. If he had used such a large number of adjectives throughout the passage, it would quickly get tiresome. Wisely, the author limits it to this key description.
In fact, this passage is a good example of how writers can use variation to maintain the readers’ interest. Stevenson varies the length and rhythm of the sentences, and he adjusts the focus from himself (in the first paragraph) to that of a generalized young person (in the second paragraph) to addressing the reader directly (in the third paragraph).
