The fact that geography is not that interesting subject for other students, it is the tasks of the teacher to make the students involved. Because they have differences, it is important that the teacher consider the students diversity every time. Second, must know how to tell stories. A teacher is considered to a good story teller when he is able to connect the different parts of the lesson, connecting it to different aspects, area or discipline. A good story teller teacher is someone who is knowledgeable about the subject. From that, the students will have a clear understanding of what has been taught. Third, he must be reflective. In teaching, reflective is required because as teachers, it is a way to improve oneself and in the teaching process. Reflecting means that you care about your students. You care in a way that you reflect for them. In the teaching learning process, it is a must to evaluate your instructions that you have given to your students. Over all, teaching will always be a challenge for teachers because of each students’ differences.
