Describe a memorable teacher you have had. How was he/she special for you?

In junior high school, I had this history teacher named Mr. Bishop. I really do not care for history but, somehow he made history seem interesting. We had to learn about all kinds of things like the Aztecs and the Inca's which was actually fascinating. Mr. Bishop just had this fun way of teaching that would interest the students. I have to say, that if a teacher can make something boring seem interesting, that is a good teacher. After the school year, some classmates went to Washington D.C. and New York. Mr. Bishop was one of the teachers that went and he was just comical. I like a teacher that has a sense of humor and isn't afraid to joke around with the class. That makes me want to be in the class and not wishing I was else where. Having a good teacher is a very important factor that helps people to learn and remember the information. For me, Mr. Bishop was a teacher that made me remember things.
