This clip from The Sound of Music is an example of engaging teaching. Maria is able to connect with the Von Trap children through a creative improvised song, which teaches them a basic scale. Through this example of interactive learning, Maria is able to create a joyful learning environment for her students.
The next video clip is an example of atrocious, harmful teaching. This clip from the movie Matilda shows the principal, the Trunchbull, bullying students and speaking to them in a very harmful manner. This type of teaching does not inspire learning, but instead uses fear to control students.
