My Favourite Teacher
My favourite teacher would be my English teacher, Mr. Jono. I was lucky enough to have him in the first
period last year, and have him follow me into eight grade this year. Last year he read a poem of the week every
week, and would accept poems written by other students to read to each of his classes. He had help inspire a
spark into my head, and got me hooked on using a pencil and paper to get my emotions out and opened up.
He really understands the students, and he is always with us in a way that is beyond words. He loves to
describe the differences between his travels in other countries to our own. Mr. Fishback Jono will let us do our
own thing, and then teach our lesson using complex English in simple things, like writing down vocabulary
definitions, and using them in the proper sentence. He likes to write on his own, too! He even wrote a poem about
his fourt period class last year!
Mr. Jono is outstanding, wonderful, amazing, fun, cool, great, spectacular, special, and one of my heroes.
Heroes are there to help kids when they need it, take them to new heights, let them experience the power of their
words, and make them remarkable. Mr Jono goes above and beyond that. And that is why Mr. Jono is my favourite
teacher.
