2 nights ago, I made the gross mistake of not writing down the seeds of an idea that came to mind.

2 nights later, as I was look at this headline, I had no idea why it came to mind.

So, I had to keep it for a later date. Today.

It came about from yesterday's post on showing up differently depending on your audience.

And for one of my classes, I put on my actor's garb! Continuing with that thought, here are just 5 transferable skills any teacher can take elsewhere.

Even to the bank.

1) Acting:

Adorning multiple robes of attitudes, voice decibel and projection, movement around the room, facial expressions are surely things that any good actor must do throughout their career!

2) Detective:

John does something that rubs Jane the wrong way but although Jack was a witness, Jean vehemently denies that any wrongdoing ever happened.

Enter Mr or Mrs Smith to investigate and restore Law & Order.

3) Therapist:

Peter feels sad because Paul has decided not to be his friend any more because of tall tales from Patricia that broke his heart, causing Pam, his girlfriend even more distress.

Enter Mr or Mrs Johnson to mediate.

4) Referees:

Kasey feels like Kath and Kate broke the school rules when they refused to follow Mrs Kingston's instructions.

Mr Kingsley must decide whether to play on, or pull out a detention or isolation card.

5) Poker player:

Michael has just come to see Mrs Midas to talk about a sensitive event he witnessed between Mary and Martha.

No matter how shocking it is, the Mrs must keep a straight face.

There are many more. But that's all for tonight, folks! Which others would you add?
