Week 13, Class 2 Describe Questions

Today was nearly the same like last class. We had to do something! Continue reading to see what happens next!

1. Mr. Rick starts the class with having all of the students to download 2 things, the video and the pdf of the female suffrage! It was epic, and everyone started to watch it and got amazed. Sooner or later, the whole class is super noisy. Then, after what seems like forever, Mr. Rick asked us to answer another describe question! This time, it's way harder! Not really that hard, but since it's a Grade 7 topic, we can't remember those things too vividly.

2. The question was "Describe the steps that led to the English Civil War". We answered it perfectly, but then, the paper was torn and got lost so, one of the team member of the Cosmos team remake the paper, and it got folded. Well... that's too bad, but this is what the paper look like:

So sorry if you can't see the words clearly...

3. Then, we need to continue the rest of the paper for homework. Noooooooooo! Well... at least we have something to do at home! :)

4. On what we can do better next time is to try and do everything as a group!

Hope you enjoyed this post! I'll see you soon. Byeeeeeeee! :)

Week 13, Class 1 Describe questions!

Today was an epic day for learning even if it's a MONDAY! Since we are thankful for every single day that God had given to us!

1. Today, Mr. Rick reminded us that exams are coming, and we have to practice hard for it, because if we don't, then we won't be able to ace it. He also said that there will be 2 types of exams, the LOTS (lower order thinking skills exam) which requires only memorization and HOTS (Higher order thinking skills exam) which requires lots of understanding, analysis and much more!

2. He also told us how to tell the time needed to solve a question! The formula is n(2)-2, n being the score given to a question. That was the mathematical equation, and it looks kinda confusing, so this is the english version of it, score multiplied with 2 then minus 2. 

We should identify the command word before answering the question! The command words can be "list", "describe", "explain" etc.

If we must describe something, we must have an opening, argument and a source to support the argument).

3. Then, he told us to answer a particular question: "Describe the motives that parliaments might have need o overthrow the king" Then, we did it on a piece of paper, and this is what it looks like:

4. On what we can do better next time is to do the tasks faster and try to study more! :)

Hope you enjoyed this blog post! Blessings! :)

Week 12, Class 2 Poster Planning

Today was a very frustrating and fun day! Wait... how does that come together? Check this out!

1. Hoorayyyyyyyyy! Mr. Rick is here for class!

2. At first, he told us to plan our posters, and we already did that yesterday, so we plan to minimize the words to make the poster, so that it would be more fun and epic to read. Then, in the middle of our planning and discussion time, Mr. Rick told us that we need to make the poster in 3D, and then all of us were shocked! We thought that we need to make the poster like a landscape (we did one earlier), then he told us that the poster just needs to be popped out, just like the one others did. Then, we were all relieved. 

3. On what we can do better next time is to take more documentation for the day so that the blog post would be more attractive and so that more people will view it.

Hope you enjoyed this blog post! Blessings! :)

Week 12, Class 1 Poster Planning

Today, Mr. Rick is absent because he has to do some kind of visa stuff, and he is supposed to be done for today, but he got sick afterwards! He got some kind of flu! Ouch! Hope you'll feel better and get well soon! God will Bless you always! He is here at school for homeroom session, but at the end, he went out of school and no one knows why.

1. Today, we planned our posters, and it was epic! We enjoyed doing all this! Yeah! :)

2. Since Mr. Rick doesn't come, Ms. Ruth substitutes him, and it was okay, but it would have been better with Mr. Rick since we could ask him some questions, and it would be much more noisy! 

(Hi Ms. Ruth!)

This is the picture when we are concentrating on our work, well... not really concentrating, because of the camera...

3. On what we can do better next time is to try and plan more and be more specific on stuff, also when we are asked to do things, we should do them directly.

Week 11, Class 2 Essay writting

Today, Mr . Rick came early for class, and it is epic! He borrowed someone's guitar (dunno who's) and played an epic song called Dance like David. The song was about praising the Lord in all circumstances. Well, anyways... let's get started!

1. Today, Mr. Rick taught us how to do the double-spacing, formatting the essay, writing a thesis statement and stuff like that! It was a great example, and yet, some of the 8C students don't get it, well, at least some understood what Mr. Rick is talking about and could lecture it to our friends! That's what teamwork is all about!

This is what it looks like when Mr. Rick is lecturing the lesson:

2. Mr. Rick lectured us about the essay writing. On the first page, we need to have a 1 and 1/2 inch tab indent. Then write the title of your essay. After that, click the enter key 1x and then click the "tab" button to create an indent then, start writing your essay. After you are done writing the essay, highlight the whole paragraph and then right click it. Then, click the "paragraph" button. After that, click the line spacing part and click double. After that, you have to save it and then, make your writings to the right! Never justify it. Then if you reach the next page, write your last name and page number. Then, click enter, and continue your essay. After you are done with your essay, write the works cited. It is the sources where you get your information. And after you are done, you are free to go! Yayyyyy! All you need to do is to submit the essay to Mr. Rick via Schoology, and maybe also submit the reflection, or not, but just in case we need to submit the reflection, I just submit it.

3. We try to work on our essay, and speed up a little bit since it takes a lot of time to write a 1500 words essay. I mean like seriously! It is hard! Well, all we need to do is to surrender to the Lord and He will help us, but we must also do our best! And if we do so, we are glorifying God's name! 

4. On what we can do better next time is try to get more pictures for the blog or else it would be kind of boring.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post and I'll see you next class! Byeeeeeeeeeee

Week 11, Class 1 Essay Title formatting!

Hello Everyone! We're back to school, the reason why we didn't post anything last week is because we didn't have school! Isn't it amazing? Finally, a break and we can relax and do everything that we need to. Well, basically, most of us stayed at home, do some research for the essay and the poster and stuff like that, so basically, last week was only 1/2 of a holiday, but at least we got some time to have a break right? Well... the reason that we have a break last week is for term break! *Duh*.

1. Today, Mr. Rick taught us how to make format the title for the essay, and it must be exactly like that, because without the format, he won't check our essay anymore, I think he would give us a big fat "0"? I dunno... but at least that's what I heard!

This is what it looks like when he starts the lecture:

He typed everything on the computer screen and it would be projected to the white board. 

2. Mr. Rick based everything he wrote on the screen to the MLA format thing! We can open the MLA format thing by clicking here. It is epic! But, most of the people in this class doesn't know how to do it, mainly because they don't pay a lot of attention, well... maybe they did, but they kinda forget? I dunno! Then, they ask Admin 1 of the class to re-explain the thing that Mr. rick told us, and it was a pain in the neck, because I explained it to 1 person, and the other will ask again, not asking from the person that I taught earlier... so yeah! I kinda have a "teaching" for today! 

3. That was about it for today's class! At first, we did the title and all of that, then Mr. Rick asks us to write the insides of the essay in class so that we won't have to rush our project at the end of the day! I mean like, it would help us a lot, but some of the members of the Cosmos Winter team didn't understand what to do, so they ask the Admin to help them, and at the end, the Admin didn't have enough time to do her work, and decided to do it at home, but it is a good thing to help others, because it kind of help ourselves too! 

4. On what we can do better next time is to try and pay more attention to the teacher or lecturer when they are lecturing, because i saves lots of time! :)

I hope you guys enjoyed this blogpost, see you on next class! Byeeeeeeee
