2. Describe a lesson in school from the POV of the marker the teacher uses.
[Again, you are the marker.]
Another day in school means more work for me as Miss Sarah stuffed me in her bag full of cosmetics and some 'post its' on pieces of notes. Is that all a typical teacher brings to school? I would not know, I am a marker afterall. I have been working with Miss Sarah for almost 2 years now. I know it might be a short span of time for you but it is very long for me as a marker because usually they use and throw, use and throw but she will always refill my ink. Since now things have been better, I do not have to work really hard to get the ink out of me, it just flows out so its much easier for me. Although sometimes I would be irritated when my ink finishes and someone would hit my head on the board and slide through it. It kinda hurts but I guess now I am used to it.
As Miss Sarah gripped me and took me out of her bag, she place me on her table with all her other neccesities. She always does that and that just shows the start of my job for her. She lifts me up and pull out my cover, I already felt much better. That cover was making my sweat. She starts the day by using me to write the date and day on the board. As she start her topics, she would hold on to me the whole day. I felt her sweat from her hands and the heat was outrageous. Luckily she would sometimes go to the staff room and I would get a chance to feel the air-conditioner.
Sometimes, her students would have to write using me when she asks them for answers. So I was not really used to little children holding my body, it tickles a lot as these kids would play around with me like they would spin me and place me on their head when they are thinking. It is very uncomfortable for me but I had no choice, I could not talk. If I even could, I think all of them would freak out and I will be hot news as "Talking Marker Exists." The childrens would also use up a lot of my inks as they would always not know what to write or they would write things wrongly and they would have to re-write again. It is really a heck of a day for me.
At the end of the day, it will usually be the duster's job to clean the whole board. I would just lay there while Miss Sarah finishes up to clean the classroom. Then she would stuff me again in her bag and I would usually move around to get a nice spot after this long and tiring day. I just hope she does not realise it. Well, she never does. I would then stay in her bag the whole night till morning and then the day starts again. It goes in a cycle with the same things going on but that is really my life. ;D
