> Doing anything half assed will leave your students confused &
> disrespectful or at least bored & unimpressed. None of these
> states is likely to get them motivated.
> Presenting a single, simple, clear personality is what you need to

> make them think you are a schizo.
> I suggest that you get together with your fellow teachers &
> choose a stereotype for each of you to play.
> Just put slips of paper in a bowl & whatever you grab is what you
> play for the whole semester.
> Here are ALL the selections:
> Bozo (the REAL Bob Bell version)
> Disiplinarian (Standard issue British, like in The Wall)
> Seductress (Van Halen-Hot For Teacher or Elizabeth Hurley in
> Bedazzled)
> Super nerd (Thick glasses, tweed jacket with leather elbows, out of
> style tie)
> Nanny (Like Mary Poppins or Sherry Bobbins, turn everything into a
> song)
> Kool Guy (Hep to all the new bands, casual clothing, bring a guitar)
> Genius Professor (Loud talking, Einstien hair, wild gesticulations
> when making an important point)
