Greenberg and Mrs. Houts are both caring, they differ in their personalities. Mr. Greenberg is outgoing and goofy. He says things during class that make students laugh, like “woof,” (Greenberg 123). He also calls on students who are no longer in class, like Lauren Rivers. Mr. Greenberg also tells silly stories that help students remember his lessons. One time he told a story about his daughter, who went to the bathroom on the floor and said, “Look at my snakes!” (Greenberg123). Mrs. Houts is more reserved than Mr. Greenberg. She does not tell as many silly stories as Mr. Greenberg does. Sometimes, Mrs. Houts helps to redirect the class back to focus when Mr. Greenberg’s stories get too silly. The balance between Mr. Greenberg’s funny comments and stories, and Mrs. Houts’s attention to the lesson plan and calm nature when they co-teach demonstrates the differences between these two teachers’ personalities.
Although Mr. Greenberg and Mrs. Houts differ in their personalities and organization, they both care about their students in English. They work together to provide a great English 10 experience for their students. Their different personalities, combined with their caring nature, result them being the best co-teaching team at Southview High
