1) I think that the most important lesson would be to think for yourself.
2)My fear would be speaking in fornt of the class and Mr.Keating helped Todd over come this so he could help me.
3)In the final scene I would stand on my desk cause I would feel bad that Mr.Keating is leaving and he didn't do anything to make him leave. Also I would want to show respect to him and tell him that I did learn what he wanted us to learn.

1) I think the most important lesson would be to look at things with a different perspective.
2) Mine would probably be the same as Todd's but I would still do the work even if I was afraid.
3) Yes he would because he is a very nice person who wants to be with kids and help people.
3) I would choose to stand on my desk in the finale scene because Mr. Keating did all those things to help the kids accomplish their fears and to think for themselves.

1) The most meaningful I would learn from Mr. Keating would be to look at everything from a different point of view, I think many of our society today forgets that.
2) My fear would be fear of rejection of approval from my parents because I would want to do good in school.
3) To get over that fear I think that I would have to just not think about what my parents approval but still concentrate on school.
4) I would choose to stand on top of the desk because Mr. Keating's teachings are much more fun than regular teachings from a textbook.

2. My fear would be sharks. Mr. Keating couldn't help me with that because i didn't see any sharks or an ocean in the movie.

monica o (1/2 B) said...

1) The most meaningful lesson I would learn fromm Mr.Keating would probably to follow your heart and do what you really love to do, regardless of what others might think of you.
2) My fear would probably be worrying about what others think of me. Mr. Keating would help me overcome that fear because he is a very outgoing person, and doesn't care about what people think about him. That attitude that he has would probably rub off on me.
3) In the final scene, I would choose to stand on my desk because I think that Keating didn't deserve to leave. By standing up, you're making a statement about how loyal you are to Mr. Keating...

I think the most important thing that i would've learned from Mr. Keating is that everyone has their own way of doing things and making their own choices. My fear would be losing what is important to me. i think that Mr. Keating would help me overcome that. I would've stood on my desk. I would've appreciated the type of teacher that Mr. Keating was.

1) To be yourself and to just block out what you THINK other people might be thinking about you and not even care about it because people who are confident and don't let other people to make you into something they're not always live a happier and better life.
2) My fear would be taking risks and I think Mr. Keatings would like give me a pep-talk and help me overcome this fear.
3) I would because I liked Mr. Keatings character and I think he meant a lot to his students.
