What was the class/lesson about ?
During my school years, I always found it difficult to understand poetry, especially where the poet used archaic English or used metaphors that are not very obvious to the reader. I always needed help in such lessons or I had to look for reference material in order to understand the words and the thoughts of the poet.
What did you learn ?
I remember once we had a substitute teacher for three months when I was in my 10th standard. In each session, the teacher did not right away explain to us the meaning of the poems but first tried to understand how we perceived each stanza. He checked our understanding before pointing out where we need to focus. Over those three months he not only taught us how similes and metaphors are used to draw attention to things more profound, but also made us understand how rhyming works.

I think like myself, most students struggle with poetry. It is not easy for a student to understand the ideas or the thought process of a poet. However, it may be pointed out, a poem is equally enjoyable once you understand it. A teacher can be of great help in this regard, because interest among students is waning in this subject, as they find it difficult. In my case too, my teacher helped me to overcome the hurdles and now I enjoy reading poems.

What was the class/lesson about?
I think the only reason I liked going to school was my English teacher and the English lessons. While I enjoyed every single class in my entire 12 years of schooling, there was one lesson that I enjoyed so much that even today I wish I could get a chance to retake that lesson. It was a chapter on screenplay writing. I wanted to be a screenplay writer so that lesson hit home for me.
What did you learn?
There were two portions from two famous screenplays as part of our syllabus. One was from Charlie Chaplin’s The Kid, and the other was from Satyajit Ray’s Pather Panchali. We learnt how screenplay writing is different from general content writing. The writing style, the format, the cues that screenplays required – we learnt it all.
Explain why you enjoyed this class/lesson
I loved those two films a lot and getting to read the screenplay of those films and studying them was like a dream come true. I could see how the screenplay’s impact on the plot of the films. Plus, seeing the skills of such great filmmakers on paper was also something I cherished. I wish I could go back in time and sit in that class again.
