Unit 11
This unit is not that hard, the
Spring team understands the whole thing. We all really get this unit and know
this from our guts, and, in addition, we really know this very deeply. One of
our team member, Daphne, know about the French Revolution really well. Another
team member, Jennifer, really know about The Bastille. She knows the bastille
and all the details from her gut. She can explain to everyone in detail. The
other 2 members of the team are average at all of the topics.
We learnt that France was a country that was
not well governed. France was governed by a king, called Louis XVI. He got
married to a wife named Marie Antoinette. Marie Antoinette is rumored that she
had many lovers, both male and female, she wasted money also called extravagant
that she bought a necklace that costs 1.6 million livers (French money) and she
interfered in the running of the court.
The king was to be stated as the one who is
appointed by God, very rich and rules over everyone! On the other hand, the
first estates are the ones who are the clergy, they are rich and pray to God.
The second estates are the nobles, they are rich and they fight for the king.
The last one is the third estates, they are the “everyone else” they are poor
and farm the land.
According to the Spring team, this unit is
not, hard, but since we are not used to have lots of tests and projects all at
once, we are a little bit bad at this thing. We think that we will improve as
time goes by, because we will be a bit
more used to it.
Unit 12
This unit is okay. We
understand everything. We know this unit from the gut, and plus, we did a lot
of research on this unit, we also try to analyze everything in this unit, and
we get a lot better at this unit, because we understand it. The key to master
something, is just to understand and analyze it, and we did exactly that, we
also often meet together during study and reading time. We sometimes discuss
the topics about history, so we can understand it better. One member of the
Spring team, Jennifer, really understand about the escape of the royal family. She
can tell all about it. She usually helps the team to understand the topic. The
team usually ask her help understand stuff, and she will help her team
understand it.
On the last unit, we felt a bit uneasy, because
we are really new to the test and project environment but now, we feel a bit
better, we got a little more used it. We learnt a lot from this unit. We learnt
that Louis XVI and his family escapes from Paris, France so that they can live
a better life! He also wanted support from other countries. It is also to help
Louis restore Louis XVI to full power.
The story of that day was like this: The
king was disguised as a maid or something, and then he pretended to talk to his
people in the castle. Then, he used a coach provided by the queen’s Swedish
admirer, Count Fersen. Meanwhile is Paris, people noticed that the royal family
was not there and they needed a king, so they debate in the national assembly.
Then, is somme vessel bridge, Duc de Chiseul wait for Louis and his family, but
was too late. While, when the royal family was in Saint Menehould, someone notices
Lois XVI in a 50 liver note, but Louis XVI didn’t know that, so he just kept
quiet. Later, the royal family arrived in Clermont, Louis XVI wanted them to go
to Montmedy through Varennes, so they did exacly that, and someone heard it,
and wanted to go there and ambush them. In Varennes, they are caught and are
brought back.
According to the Spring team, this unit is a
bit harder than unit 11, because we try to understand and analyze everything.
We can also catch up the things that we need to type, so that we don’t miss any
word that Mr. Rick lectures to us, so, overall... this unit is fun and amazing.
Unit 13
This unit is very short. We
cover this unit for only 2 weeks. This unit is about Coup d’état. It is the
group that Napoleon made with his supporters, the Jacobins and the
Sans-Cullotes. This time, we don’t only do research on the Internet, but we
also research from books. One of our team members borrowed a book and writes
her research in her coursework file.
According to the Spring team, this is the
best unit that we have ever learnt, because it is very short and very easy to
understand. We even can analyze it very well. Our presentations will be quite
short too. But since the topic is so short, we did a research on it. And we dig
deeper on this topic. This unit is also very fun, we can know the Coup d’état
and many more.
Overall, this unit is the best and most fun
unit ever, and also, it is the shortest one, we also get lesser stuff to
understand and the concepts are quite easy, not that hard.
Unit 14
This unit is more to battles
and all that. We learnt about wars, battles and their tactics used during the
battle. We don’t really dig that deep during this unit, because it is super
long. It is a bit harder than the unit before. The 1st topic is
about “Did Napoleon Betray the Revolution?” and this topic is so long, that it
needs 2 days to finish just one topic and it means it covers 1 whole week for
History course. We analyze this quite well. This unit is also quite fun,
because we can get to know about the battle of Trafalgar, the peninsular war
and the Guerilla warfare, and the Spring team is so curious about the wars that
Napoleon fought, we already heard about the wars, but never learnt it. So, we
are quite curious about it.
According to the Spring team, this unit is
quite hard and challenging, but it is fun in the same time, so we are okay
about it. Even though this unit is so long and quite challenging, we still
enjoy this unit.
Overall, this unit is great and quite fun,
and somehow, it is cool. In this topic, we always see battles and wars every
time. Well... maybe not every time, but
most of the time.
These are the semester 2 units, and if you want the semester 1 units, here you go!
Unit 7
Images of an age 1500-1750 day
This unit is not that hard, the winter team
understands the whole thing. We all really get the this unit and know this from
our guts, and, in addition, we really know this very deeply. One of our team
member, Gaby, really know about the Bawdy Beggars, she knows the bawdy beggar
really well. Another team member, Jennifer, really know about the types of beggars.
She knows all of e types of beggars from her gut. She can explain to everyone
in detail. The other 2 members of the team are average at all of the topics.
We learnt that there are different types of
people in England, in the 1500s. There are the Yeomen, Gentlemen, Citizens and
the Laborers. There are also beggars in the 1500s. They are the Rogue, Upright
man, Abraham man, Clapper dungeon, Bawdy baskets, Counterfeit crank and the
Doxy. On the other hand, there are also the rich. Marriages aren’t that nice in
the 1500s. Couples aren’t affectionate to each other. They don’t want to have
children, they wish that their children would die, so, instead of killing the
baby, they send the baby to the wet nurses.
According to the winter team, this unit is
not, hard, but since this is the first time we take notes using laptops, it is
quite hard. Well, it is not necessarily hard, but it is challenging. We think
that we will improve as time goes by because we will get use to type notes in laptops.
Unit 8
The Reformation
This unit is okay. We understand everything.
We know this unit from the gut, and plus, we did a lot of research on this
unit, we also try to analyze everything in this unit, and we get a lot better
at this unit, because we understand it. The key to master something, is just to
understand and analyze it, and we did exactly that, we also often meet together
during study and reading time. We sometimes discuss the topics about history,
so we can understand it better. One member of the winter team, Jennifer, really
understand about Henry the 8th. She can tell all about him. She
usually help the team to understand the topic. The team usually ask her help to
understand stuff, and she will help her team understand it.
On the last unit, we felt a bit uneasy, because
we are really new to typing notes on computers, but now, we feel a bit better,
we got a little more used to typing notes on computers. We learnt a lot from
this unit. We learnt that Henry the 8th have so many wives. His
wives are Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves,
Kathryn Howard and Katherine Parr. Catherine of Aragon got divorced, because
she gave Henry a daughter (Mary), Anne Boleyn got beheaded, because she gave
Henry a daughter (Elizabeth), Jane Seymour gave Henry a son, but then, she
died, Anne of Cleves got divorced by Henry the 8th, because she is
so ugly, Kathryn Howard got beheaded because Henry found out that her love
wasn’t true and Katherine Parr survived and Henry the 8th died.
According to the winter team, this unit is a bit harder than unit 7,
because we try to understand and analyze everything and we are more used to
typing notes into the computers, so it is way easier and more fun. We can also
catch up the things that we need to type, so that we don’t miss any word that
Mr. Rick lectures to us, so, overall... this unit is fun and amazing.
Unit 9
Elizabeth the 1st
This unit is very short. We cover this unit
for only 2 days. This unit is about Elizabeth the 1st, the daughter
of Anne Boleyn and Henry the 8th. She is the queen of England on 15
September 1533. This time, we don’t only do research on the Internet, but we
also research from books. One of our team member borrowed a book and write her
research in her coursework file.
According to the winter team, this is the
best unit that we have ever learnt, because it is very short and very easy to
understand. We even can analyze it very well. This unit is extremely short and
it only have 2 pages of the textbook. So our presentations will be quite short
too. But since the topic is so short, we did a research on it. And we dig
deeper on this topic. This unit is also very fun, we can know Elizabeth’s life,
and she doesn’t marry anyone, so she is the last of the tudors. She is also a
better queen compared to Mary, Elizabeth’s sister.
Overall, this unit is the best and most fun
unit ever, and also, it is the shortest one, we also get lesser stuff to
understand and the concepts are quite easy, not that hard.
Unit 10
The English Civil wars
This unit is more to battles and all that.
We learnt about wars, battles and their tactics used during the battle. We
don’t really dig that deep during this unit, because it is super long. It
covers 8 days to discuss all this topic, and it is a bit harder than the unit
before. The 1st topic is about “why did the Civil war break out in
1642?” and this topic is so long, that it needs 2 days to finish just one topic
and it means it covers 1 whole week for History course. We analyze this quite
well. This unit is also quite fun, because we can get to know bout the Civil
war, and the winter team is so curious about the Civil war, we already heard
about the Civil war, but never learnt it. So, we are quite curious about
it.
According to the winter team, this unit is
quite hard and challenging, but it is fun in the same time, so we are okay
about it. Even though this unit is so long and quite challenging, we still
enjoy this unit.
Overall, this unit is great and quite fun,
and somehow, it is cool. In this topic, we always see battles and wars every
time. Well... maybe not every time, but
most of the time.
