Week 18, Class 2

Time for an epic exam! Aaaaaa! Now is the time for us to freak out! It is an IT based exam! We have the History test earlier than any other subjects, all of our exams are starting from Thursday (next week), but History exam already start, so it is quite good that we don't have to study twice for just 1 exam. 

1. The exam that we did earlier today was the IT based exam, and it is the LOTS exam, which means lower order thinking exam! We just have to memorize stuff for this test, it is simply multiple choice and matching! Lots of us improved on this test! The highest score on last exam was on the 60s. And now, the highest score on the exam is in the 70s! *Yeah!* 



2. Mr. Rick doesn't allow us to discuss anything for today, because it is an exam day, and if anyone dares to speak during the test, his/her score would be a "0" and there is no way to turn it into "heroes". One of the member of the Delta team was accused of cheating during the test, but actually she didn't cheat at all. She just look to her side maybe because she is tired to look at our screen. But, Mr. Rick is being so kind today and he just believe what she said, and she is allowed to get her score, but she needs to sit at the back of the room. *sniff* 

3. On what we are assessed on, you guys know it right... it is the exam for surely. The highest score in this class is in the 70s and one of the member of this team got it, but we all should be ashamed of our scores, because we don't get an "A" just because we are lazy to study our stuff. But, at least that person got the highest score in the class. *Yipee!* (Not gonna tell who that person is, because it is a secret!) JK!

4. On what we can do better next time is to study the revision notes that we get from Mr. Rick! They will help us a lot, and if you notice, everything in the revision notes is in the exam, so it is basically a bad thing if you get bad scores on this, because the HOTS (higher order thinking skills) exam is way harder than this, but luckily History isn't a core subject. *phew* Even though we get bad grades in this exam, we could try to do better next time! It is also one of our favorite subject.

This will be our last post and it is ready to be submitted to Mr. Rick, so there won't be anymore posts after this one, so bye bye forever. *boo hoo* (crying there...) :( 

But I still hope that you will enjoy this last blog post...


*Sniff*

Week 18, Class 1

Today, Rick came late to class, and he got another IOU from the treasurer. IOU is a note that was given to a person for infracting something, but haven't payed yet, so let's get started!

1. Today, Mr. Rick came late to class, so he got an infraction and this is what it looks like:


Hello! (How friendly...)

Mr. Rick told us that this blog is to be due on Friday... we all freaked out. Wait for a while please... *Aaaaaaaaaaaa* okay... enough with the shouting, so let's move on!

Mr. Rick is supposed to pay for coming in late for class, but he have no change, he only had about Rp.50 000 and no change at all, so he got an IOU. I think there are about 3 IOUs by now for Mr. Rick, and we are nearly going to have a pizza party... can't wait!


*yum?*

When the treasurer was asked how much money we had in the pizza box, we had about Rp. 250 000, and it wasn't enough for the whole class to have a pizza party by now, so we will wait until the end of the semester, well, after the exam though...

2. There were lots of discussions today, and especially today, because we need to grill each other like what Mr. Rick said earlier last week, and he asked us to do so again, and so, we did exactly that! In class, when we are discussing, it is like birds chirping all together creating wonderful music... but anyways, we talk a lot. For today, all we did was to try and answer all the question that our team member ask us, so there were lots of things, and the best one that one of the team member asked one of the team member is: "What is the Napoleon ice cream?" and it sound ridiculous, but the team member answered it anyways, and it was a vanilla, strawberry and chocolate ice cream stacked together! It was awesome, but then, when the team member answered it, the person doesn't believe, so she showed them the source and it looks like this:


Kinda cool eh?

And the rest of us doesn't believe that, so they all laughed. But she doesn't mind it, and just asked another question to grill the other person. *ahahahahahahaha* ( No, JK)

3. We were just asking each and every team member to review our topics for the test, so we are kind of serious, but towards the end of class, we all stopped asking questions and just continue on our stuff that are not done yet.

4. On what we can improve better next time is that we can try to help each other on the memorizing and grill each other more, so that they could be better in the test later on.

Hope that you guys will enjoy this blog update! Blessings!

Week 17, Class 2

Today is very fun, we grill each other and come out alive from History class.
1. Today, Mr. Rick came late to class. So, he will pay another Rp.5000 to the pizza box but he only have Rp.50 0000 and the treasurer doesn't have any change, so Mr. Rick will be getting an IOU. And this is what it looks like when Mr. Rick is coming in class:


He was coming in, but when he saw the photographer taking a picture, he directly give us the pose. *tee hee*

Mr. Rick ask us to grill each other. The whole class started to take the imaginary spatula and try to grill each other with them, but then Mr. Rick laughed and said that we are not gong to grill each other by doing that we are going to test each other, so that is what we exactly did.

2. We questioned each other using the revision topics, we all managed to do at least half of the list, well, 1 question more than half, so technically we did 8 questions, and we are actually going to reach 9 questions, but the time was up, so it's too bad, and we have to get going.

See you next time in History class.

3. On what we can do better next time is that we can try to speed up so that we wouldn't waste our time!

Week 17, Class 1

Today Mr. Rick sadly don't come to school, and so, we have a substitute teacher, we aren't like Nate (in the Big Nate book) that he loves to have substitue teachers! We prefer to have Mr. Rick than the substitue teacher (no offense) *tee hee* because you know... we could ask him questions, but he didn't come, so technically, we can't ask him stuff that we don't know, so good luck with that. :)

1. Today Mr. Rick don't come to class. Then, the whole class thought that we are going to have tech time the whole period for History, then a substitute teacher came in... *Nooooo* (never mind that expression).

(So sorry that we don't have the picture of the teacher entering the class, cause the teacher might think that we are taking pictures for nothing and might take our computer, so never mind the pictures....)

2. The teacher then took out a piece of paper and read out the things that we need to do for today's History class. She said that we need to download a document from schoology. The document contains the things needed for our exam. After that, we did exactly like so, and this is what it looks like when we are doing the revision.


We did it in google drive, so that we can work on it together.

3. There are 15 questions in the revision, and we need to answer all of them, but together in a team. One of the question is "Napoleon ice cream" and we all thought that it was Napoleon being in a silly ice cream costume, but when we searched it in the internet, it isn't like that. It is like this:



It sounds silly, but it is like that, and we usually call it Neapolitan ice cream, and plus, it have something to do with the flag of France. France have 3 colors in its flag, blue, white and red. And maybe, the brown color represents blue, white is still white, pink represents red in the ice cream. (Dunno correct or not).

We started making the revision answers and this is our progress:


It was quite fun, cause we can get the whole time to do this! History is super fun!

4. On what we can do better next time is that we can try to work on things faster so that we can be done with the class earlier and finish in time, so that we won't have homework!

Week 16, Class 2

Today we have a History test! Aaaaaa! Panic time! No, Just kidding, we have the test written, and it is based on Cambridge stuff, and actually, this test is for Secondary 8 students, and we already tried to do it! Wow! No wonder it was so hard, but anyways, it is fun do have advanced knowledge, so yeah... it was great! The test was only 30% of the real test, but it took us about a whole hour to answer 3 questions, so it is quite useful! Thank you Mr. Rick for giving us this opportunity to get the test, and most of all, Thank you Lord for everything that you have done for us!

God Bless and Happy Readings!
