I was reading a comment by David Sceggel over break and noticed that in it he mentioned a job – a really cool one – that is not even listed in our list of 62 jobs on this site. It’s called the Class Photographer:
The teacher assigns a class photographer whose job is to quietly take a few pictures of scenes developed in class and then send them to the teacher, who then projects them the next day for discussion and review. For example, if Jim rode a bike to the moon in some scene the day before, and it was acted out in class, the photographer sends the photo to the teacher, who then has the option of not only sharing it with the class the next day but also of choosing to create and share a short reading of the scene as well. Thus the scene from the previous day serves as a trick to get more interesting repetitions on the target structures, as well as bring in the reading piece in a way that gets the kids focused on the message and not the words because of the high interest involved.
