Each class will have its own 'class clown' with their own style and the different personalities within each class will create VERY different dynamics from one period to the next. Observing what the class already finds entertaining can give you clues on how to go about incorporating your own humor. Plus, then you know who to call on for a laugh when you need a different style in the room! Finding out how you can incorporate humor IS part of finding out who you are in the classroom. I don't think you can separate them. However, if the humorous part of your personality emerges as a natural part of you building rapport with your students, you'll discover a style of humor that works for them and you.ashanda210http://www.blogger.com/profile/06222087148614669139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732239905002548038.post-6426073648668313662012-02-04T14:49:02.696-05:002012-02-04T14:49:02.696-05:00I think it's really important to be comfortabl...I think it's really important to be comfortable in the classroom so that your students understand that you are human and have a sense of humor! The more you can relate your humor with the humor of your students then I think that the lines of communication will be opened up even more because they feel as though you can understand them in certain ways. Of course we can't completely let loose and be ourselves in the classroom but we should definitely take time to have a little bit of fun everyday.Alliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17900676234693093668noreply@blogger.com
