After viewing segments of the video Take 20, I found that the most compelling and insightful part of what I saw was the opening comments about the teacher’s first experiences when teaching their own class.  I thought it was interesting to hear about their experiences, and relate them to my own personal beliefs and expectations for English teachers.  I enjoyed how they told the truth, and did not simply state that they new exactly what they were doing from day one and were extremely comfortable within the classroom.  It was very informative to hear the teacher’s responses, and I felt somewhat relieved after hearing that a lot of the teachers had no idea what they were doing during their first year!  It makes myself, who is a future teacher, feel more at ease in knowing that all teachers do no start out as phenomenal.  I know that it takes years of experience to truly establish a successful and motivational style of teaching, and by watching this movie it only reinforced my beliefs.  Although this segment did not show the names of the teachers when they were speaking, it did not matter to me in the slightest bit.  The only thing I was focused on was hearing the teachers express their emotions, concerns, and the necessary actions they believe should be taken to have a successful classroom.  One teacher spoke about the clothes she wore on her first day, and how all she wanted to do was impress her students.  Another teacher actually stated that she had no idea what she was doing, and that she clung to the textbook because she did not know what to do if she didn’t.  It was also interesting to hear a teacher say he was an “idiot” and that he is too embarrassed of his actions as a beginning teacher to talk about them.  By hearing the responses to this question, I feel that I gained some more confidence and shed some of the apprehension I feel towards the first year I will begin teaching.
