What are your current roles on the server?:
I have two grade twelves and one grade eleven.
Why are Teachers so important to SchoolRP?:
Teachers are important to SchoolRP because they provide students with an environment to learn. Personally, I've learned a lot of things out of character about Karakura, and those classes have allowed me to practice my detailrp, by putting me in situations where I have to think about how my character would carry out assignments in the classroom. It also gives new players in SRP opportunities to make new friends and learn more about how to roleplay properly! The teachers are helping to shape our character's futures and behaviors.
Do you acknowledge that if you are inactive you may lose your role?: Yes
Do you agree to undergo teacher training if your application is successful?: Yes
In-Character Section
What's your character's full name?: Saylee Somsri
What is your character's nationality?: Thai
What is your preferred subject to teach?: English
Describe your character:
Saylee Somsri stood at a height of 5'5, with a slim, steady build and tawny beige skin that accentuated her features. Her long brown hair cascaded past her shoulders, though most people found themselves drawn to the subtle minty highlights in her hair. She had brown almond-shaped eyes that seemed to sparkle with joy, perfectly complementing the small smile on her face.
However, when she spoke, her monotone voice completely contrasted her expression. She carried herself with a poised posture when walking into a room; her hands clasped, and her gaze was straight ahead. Though her appearance may suggest a bubbly personality, the actual reality was quite the opposite. Saylee was polite and friendly, but she didn't feel the need to go out of her way to make friends. For her, teaching and writing were the most important things in her life. She had moved from Thailand specifically for the opportunity to become a teacher in Karakura.
What is your character's outlook on students and co-workers?:
For Saylee, the most important thing in a school environment is the students. If the students feel disconnected from the class, they'll struggle with assignments, which will lead to them falling behind, failing the class, and eventually withdrawing from the class as a whole. It's important for the student to have a reason to come to class, which is why she would treat every student with the same level of respect every class, regardless of their past behavior and does her best to help every student with the subject. With coworkers, she maintains polite and professional communication with them. She would treat them with the same level of respect she gives everyone, and help them in any situation if needed.
What is your character's motivation for teaching?:
From a young age, Saylee had always enjoyed school. She was very studious to say the least, in a way that made her feel disconnected from her peers. Her English classes shaped her growing interest in anything literature-related. Saylee wanted to become an English teacher because one, it reflected her interest in literature, and two, she wanted to change how most students viewed classes. She wanted to prove that not all classes were boring and that it was possible to make a lasting, positive impact on the students' lives through these classes in the same way her classes she took when she was younger had done for her when she was younger.
Roleplay Scenarios
A student in class is struggling to understand the content, what would your character do?:
If Saylee noticed a student struggling with the concept, or a student raised their hand expressing confusion, Saylee would first ask the student to explain the concept in their own words, to see what could be causing their confusion. She would then break down the concept, addressing any misconceptions the student may have had. She would also provide a visual of the concept so that it made sense to the student. If the student still had trouble understanding she would offer to help them after class. It would look something like this,
Saylee moved steadily through her lesson about identifying the central messages in literary works. As she spoke, she couldn't help but notice a student in the back seemed to wear a confused expression on their face. She made a mental note and continued the lesson. Afterwards, she gave the students time to work on the assignment, which included writing down the theme for Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken." She paid close attention to the student who had seemed to be struggling earlier, and as she walked through the rows of seats, she stopped beside the student.
"I noticed that you seemed to be having trouble understanding the concept earlier." She said, her voice even. "Could you tell me what the definition of a theme is in your words?" Once the student responded, she noted what the issue was; the student seemed to be confused about the definition of what a theme was and a summary, a frequent misconception. She would take their paper, lightly jotting down the definition of the two words, "A theme," She said, tapping the first line, "Is the message of the story." She tapped the second line, "While a summary is what happens in all of the story. Does that make sense?"
She questioned, and once the student nodded, she gave a small smile. "Alright, do see me after class if you find yourself confused about anything else."
A student is continuously being disruptive in class, talking out of turn, and making jokes with classmates. What would your character do?:
Saylee strategy on disruptive students works on a "Three strikes; you're out" basis, she doesn't enjoy removing a student from a learning environment, so she tries to give them as much chances as possible. If a student disrupted class the first time, Saylee would politely remind the student not to speak out of turn, and to save the jokes with friends until after class. The second time, she would take on a more stern tone, reminding the student that any more would result in the student getting kicked out of class, and the third time would result in them getting kicked out of the class.
Provide at least 2 interactive class ideas related to your preferred subject:
- Word Combination
With this activity, each student would be given a word; with that word, they would have to team up with other students to make a sentence. Whichever team makes the best sentence wins a sticker, and at the end of this activity, everyone in class will have to combine words to create a longer sentence. This encourages the students to communicate effectively with their peers. This activity, however, would be better in bigger classes.
- Speed debating
The students would break off into pairs of two, Saylee would give them a topic to debate and then they would have 1-2 minutes to debate it. After those minutes, they'll switch partners with someone else until eventually the game ends.
- Literary Hot Seat
The class would break off into teams. One student would be chosen, and they would sit facing the class. Saylee would write a character, a vocabulary word, or a topic, and the other classmates would have to give clues to the student without saying the word. If the student guesses correctly, they earn a point for their team.
- Poetry slam
The students will have time to write a poem down. When the time is up, the students must come to the front of the classroom and perform the poetry as dramatically as possible. The students get to vote who wins based on the categories: most emotional, most creative, and the funniest. The three people who win will receive a sticker.
