As our last task, we dicided to use our video to teach Conditional Tense.
This video is a informal chat.
In some part of this video we used the condictional tense.
I think a good way to teach is showing to the student the using of the subject studed.

To to create sentence in the Condicional Tense you have five ways to use it. They are:

Simple

Subject + Would + Infinitive without 'to'

Ex: I would study.

Continuos

Subject + would + be + verb+ing

Ex: I would be studying.

Perfect

Subject + would + have + Past Participe

Ex: I would have studied.

The movie The Emperor’s Club shows a history teacher and his conflict against a rebel student. The teacher tries to help the student showing the way of the light. Mr. Hundert use all your skills to help Sedgewick Bell to be a better student.

Mr. Hundert teaches in a traditional school, but he shows to be a teacher ahead of his time, he used to follow the teacher roles.

He was a planner, used to organize the subject. It is showed in a scene that he talks with a student about the content, and he says that subject will not be studied for them.

He was an informer, of course he was. He knows a lot about the subject, and always explains clearly as he can about the content. He used to teach phrases in Latin, and he always explained what those phrases means in the context that they were said.

He was a manager, he used to organize the desks and he always had the class under control. He also had his way to punish the rebels, just showing that the student was in a wrong way.

He was a monitor; he used to walk around the class during the lessons. Another way to monitor the class was the Cezar race tests. With this he could check how the students were learning.

He was an involver, he always was asking the students about the subject. He tried to motivate Bell to learn.

He was a friend of his student, he played baseball with them, and gave his book to Bell.

He was a diagnostician. I thing he was, but in the Bell case he was wrong. He thought Bell’s problem was his relationship with his father.

He used resource to involve the class in the subject, wearing togas, with the statues the little plays in the class, and the best resource he used was the Cezar race.

In conclusion, I think Mr. Hundert was a good teacher, he just failed with Bell. But he knows he made a good work with the others student.

The message that movie show us is that a teacher never to give up. However we fail with a student we have to do the best with him. And if we change just one life, we have to rise your face and be sure that our mission was successful.
