The Making of a Teacher

[Roykagh]

Miartos says 'Okay, now give me the first part of your lesson, as with the rules you will set down.'

You say 'Hmmmm...'

Yuck, try to cover your mouth next time!

You stand up.

You say 'All sit down and pay attention.'

You say 'If you wish to speak, stand and raise your hand.'

You say 'I will make food and drink for you...'

You say 'Ummm...'

You say 'Remember, no touching or doing anything distracting.'

You say 'All pets must be quiet as well as you.'

Miartos shakes his head.

Miartos shakes his head.

Miartos says 'Stop'

Miartos sighs.

You sigh.

Miartos says 'Okay...'

Miartos says 'You must make it flow.'

You nod.

Miartos says 'You sound like you are a babbling baboon.'

Miartos winks suggestively.

You say 'I'm not good at that.'

Your cheeks are burning.

Mamira hides her face.

Miartos says 'First ask them if they know all of the rules.'

You nod.

Mamira scribbles down some notes.

Miartos says 'Then, go over the BASIC rules.'

Miartos says 'I will do a demonstration.'

Miartos says 'Do you all know the rules of the academy?'

You nod.

Miartos nods.

Miartos says 'Good.'

Miartos says 'Make sure you remain seated at all times unless asking a question, and if you have a question you MUST raise

your hand and wait to be called upon.'

You rest.

Miartos says 'I will not tolerate any of my students hiding in shadows of any kind or unnecessary movement.'

Miartos says 'Do we understand the rules now?'

Miartos says 'Good, you get one warning then you are expeled from my class, let me begin the class now.'

Miartos says 'Like that'

You say 'I see.'

You say 'I wrote this all down for future reference.'

Miartos nods.

You say 'I will emulate it in my own words, of course.'

Miartos says 'You try it now.'

You sigh.

You stand up.

You say 'Are you all familiar with the academy rules?'

Miartos nods.

You say 'I want all of you to stay seated at all times, unless you have a question.'

You say 'If you do, you MUST raise your hand and wait to be called on.'

Miartos drinks water from a magical spring.

You say 'I do not allow any hiding in shadows or unnecessary movement.'

You say 'Does everybody understand the rules?'

Miartos nods.

You say 'You will receive one warning for a breach and then you are expelled from my class.'

Miartos chuckles politely.

You say 'Let us begin.'

You say 'Is that better?'

Miartos says 'Better, but still not there.'

Miartos smiles happily.

You sigh.

Miartos sits down and thinks deeply.

You say 'What did I do wrong this time?'

Miartos says 'Well...'

Miartos says 'Nothing exactly, but it still doesn't flow.'

Miartos says 'But that comes with time.'

You nod.

You say 'I've always been more of a listener than a speaker.'

Miartos smirks.

Miartos says 'That is not a good thing to hear.'

You raise an eyebrow at the notion.

You say 'I'm just trying to explain why my speach is so choppy.'

Miartos nods.

Miartos says 'I am just stating you will have to overcome that.'

You nod.

You say 'I would not want to be known as the babboon teacher of Rheydin.'

Miartos grins evilly.

Miartos says 'That would be an interesting title...'

Miartos sits down and thinks deeply.

You gasp in astonishment.

Miartos chuckles politely.

Miartos says 'I jest.'

Miartos smiles happily.

Miartos says 'Develope a lesson plan, and inform me when you are done.'

You say 'I will.'

Miartos nods.

You say 'I have taken to writing and taking notes lately.'

You say 'I will get them together and organize them.'
