Since we were documenting the renovation of a classroom that was being turned into a computer lab the students who normally take class in that room were displaced during construction.  To make up for this, the school set up a makeshift classroom outside.  The desks had been taken outside and a chalkboard removed from the wall was placed leaning against a tree to set up this new place of study.  While not ideal for learning, the new setup was quite beautiful so Sean and Steve wanted to capture the scene.  The only problem is being outside was too distracting and class hadn’t started yet so the students weren’t facing the chalkboard which would replicate a classroom environment.  To remedy this, I went to the front of the class and decided to stand in for the teacher.  There were some sentences up on the board that served to both teach English and writing, while also helping drill in health and education related information.  For example “I brush my teeth every morning” or “I make sure I come to school every day”. However, what started as a way to simply get the students facing forward turned into my sitting there for 20 minutes going over these sentences, coming up with new sentences, and inviting the reluctant children up to the board to practice their writing of the phrases.  It was a wonderful opportunity to interact with young people in the community and helped reinforce something I already knew which was teaching is one of the most rewarding jobs in the world.
