Today Mr Rick is late again ... As usual. At History Class, we watch a few commercial videos, starring Mr Rick's own son !! At one of the commercials, we could hear Mr Rick's Voice talking with his son. Some of them are funny .... Lucas, Mr Rick's son played in a candy-flavored milk and in a new batik store with an other kid ...
After we watched the commercials, we sing Henry the 8th together. After we finished singing we have tech-time which we could do anything with our laptops, but not playing games except Battlefield Academy. Battlefield academy is a strategic game, which is about war in the past.

Week 18 Day 2
Today in History we took our 2nd part of the final exam. We did not take any pictures of the test because we did not want anyone who haven't done the test to see any of the exam questions and sneakily search for the answer for the questions. Like what we would expect from a history exam, everyone thinks that the test is pretty hard. Our group seemed to have handled the test pretty well although we refused to share our scores to each other. I don't know whether it's just bad scores or we just want to keep our personal lives to ourselves.
Last Post! No more post! Sorry for the excitement on the last post :)

Week 18 Day 1
A little bit of a twist of today's lesson! And it is also a good time to end the blog, so no more posts on the blog. (Sorry for those of you who like the blog, it has been really fun!)
1. Upon accumulating the infractions money, we have just enough for the Pizza Party! Everyone is crowding the pizzas, even before the class starts. There were 4 boxes of cheese pizzas. Yum!
Mr. Rick now came in class. Now the pizzas are being given out...
Okay, since it is a pizza party, doesn't mean we don't have a lesson, we still have one lesson to go, and tomorrow is our History Test part 2, on a computer! While we eat pizzas, we listen to Mr. Rick.
2. Mr. Rick also eats the pizza...
Mr. Rick discusses the blog. Yes, okay. This blog is updated daily on History lessons and is almost free of problems. But Mr. Rick wants to discuss this again, because some of the people are not doing the blog daily.
While Mr. Rick talks, students carefully divide the last two pieces of pizza among each other... (Forgive the bad picture to the left)
Mr. Rick says to us that this blog is an important portfolio, and it must be done daily and not rush it until the end. Not like our semester before where we rush the portfolio because we did it on paper. Submit it within 24 hours of the class, the latest would be the next day after the class.
Then, there must be sections 3, 4, and 5 written on the blog. If you don't know what those are, section 3 is individual work (like the LdL teaching), section 4 is team work (like team presentations and projects) and section 5 is the evaluation of the class, what you learned. And there also must be the topics written in the blog daily, and it has been provided on one of the tabs on top of the blog.
Mr. Rick scans through the blog, and has to check very many blogs across the different grades. So if you did rush the blog, Mr. Rick would not have been able to read everything, and probably might have a bad score. Oh and, if you have to rush the blog, you need to catch up with 5 months of history work. (So, good luck with that.)
The blog is due within this week, so this would be the last post!
3. Now, Mr. Rick asks us to study for the upcoming test. By now most people had finish eating their 2 slices of pizza. We need to continue revising the materials for exam. (The questions are put on the blog, labelled review materials for exam, so you can just download it without going on Schoology.)
Mr. Rick asks us the condition of the blog. Well, it is updated daily, and...
Okay, there is one problem. All this time, there are 4 blog authors, but only ONE did all the work. Mr. Rick seems quite upset about that, so the rest had to edit the blog. (So if there are bad edits, probably it is them, but maybe not.)
Now... The class is done! Hooray! The blog will be submitted! A celebration with Pooh Bear!
4. What we can improve is... Well... Everyone needs to be responsible to help each person of the team do a certain work. If only one does everything while the others don't do anything, it wouldn't improve at all. People who don't work would get low grades. If everyone did work, then everyone would get good scores, and no one would fail.
Now, the last one picture... BYE! :D

Week 17 Day 2
I should stop saying "Mr. Rick is late today" because he is always late. So now, we move on.
1. When Mr. Rick came in class...
He asked us if we're done with the assignment he gave us. Unfortunately, as the blog was written yesterday, the Internet connection has problems and we were all unable to work on the assignment. So now... we have to do the assignment today.
We need to download a document from Schoology. The document contains materials needed for our semester exam, and it has a picture of Napoleon riding a motorbike... (Trust me, that editing for the motorbike, ain't easy)
Then, as a group, we need to make one google drive document and answer all the questions that are in there. We must divide the work equally, and this is going to be used as a team review for the semester exam. (Of course, its a hard revision, i would get mine usually done by the teachers but now I need to do my own, which is....... new)
2. There are 15 questions on the revision material. One of them says something about Napoleon Ice-Cream. That might sound a bit silly, but if you search the ice cream, it is just a Vanilla, Strawberry and Chocolate flavored ice-cream side by side. Most people just call this neapolitan, but there must be a history behind this...
It has something to do with the Italian flag... There are three colors, and there are three colors too in the ice cream... (I could eat one right now)
Here is everyone working on the assignment...
Here is what the progress...
Mr. Rick dismissed us late. Luckily the blog author knew the time or else Mr. Rick will keep us trapped in class! (Trapped in class does not feel right, and it does feel wrong because we need to go home)
3. Everyone should help do the blog. The blog is going to be due soon, so we need to communicate quick, or else some of the team members would lose grades!

Week 17 Day 1
Unfortunately, Mr. Rick did not come today and a substitute teacher came in to replace him. And the bad thing is, Mr. Rick's assignments requires Internet connection, and the school's Wi-Fi is experiencing problems, so no one can connect to the Internet. So, we ended up having free time for the whole lesson, and the blog author has no clue what the class learned today. (For me, the class at least passively learned what class was without Mr. Rick. Well basically not just Class when Mr.Rick goes to the toilet, its class when the teacher isn't there to teach us.)
Wednesday, 30 April 2014
Week 16 Day 1 (Tuesday)
1. We practice describe questions today to prepare for our test tomorrow!
Mr. Rick coming in
Everyone practicing to write answers for description questions (Plus Random Picture of the door)
And the class ends! Good Luck everyone for the test tomorrow! (Cause some of us would study tonight and it would be so sad for the people who would study all night long but get really, really low)
2. What we can improve is that this blog entry is too short. Well, actually what we can improve better is to listen to the teacher well for their instructions. If not, you would not know what to do! (Or just write down you're own opinion trust me, its easier than writing facts and all that stuff. After we understand describe question, We needed to learn explain question which is said to be similar but harder, like really hard.)
Wednesday, 23 April 2014
Week 15 Day 2
Today we still practice on the description questions to help prepare for our test next week. After all, the test is the semester exam...
1. Mr. Rick came in class late. Though, there were a lot of people who were absent today. And as usual, the class does not have the technology working. Seems like the only classroom that the technology is all broken...
Today we still are going to continue practicing to write the description question for the exam. First, let's review how to do it. Here is the blurry description...
2. The first thing you need to do is to look at the marks of the question. So, let's say "m" is the marks. Your formula would be...
m X 2 - 2 = minutes required to do the question
Now then, the questions that we are going to practice with is going to worth 6 marks. So we will need 10 minutes to answer the question. That's a long time, but you still need to manage your time wisely.
You are going to need to make a quick mind map of what your answer is going to be. It should only take 30 seconds to do. You choose the best two points and when you are done, take a blue pen and draw two lines over it. It is to tell the examiner that is NOT part of your answer.
Then you need to write a descriptor using a point you choose. First, you must repeat the question, and then answer. Then state an argument. Then you must give an conclusion, which now needs a source to support your argument.
To make a source, you need to research a lot. You get it from a book or the internet. You put quotation marks if it is the exact words that the person says. If you don't remember it, but you have the idea, you put the word "that" and do NOT put quotation marks.
If you happen not to be researching and don't know a source from a book or internet, you can state an event that supported the argument.
Then, you do it the same with the second point.
Finally, you need a conclusion. It must be from your point of view.
AND THE PRACTICE BEGINS.
Here is the class listening to Mr. Rick.
But then, we took too long and Mr. Rick dismissed us late. So, Mr. Rick had to pay Rp. 10 000. Mr. Rick expects a pizza for this...
3. What we can improve everyday is to study hard. Especially when a test that is going to be a part of the semester exam is coming up...

Week 15 Day 1 (Tuesday)
We review how to answer the description questions for the upcoming exam we are going to have.
1. Mr. Rick came in the class, but he isn't that late. But we all force him to pay, so the others that came the same time as Mr. Rick has to pay. Now, there is only a few minutes left in the video, so we watch it for a while.
Here is the video...
Okay, now the video is done, and Mr. Rick gave us another activity to do. We have practice writing answers for a description question. The "Professional Photographer" was going to photo Mr. Rick saying that, but Mr. Rick made a pose instead...
2. So here is how to make a Cambridge description question. To make it, you need to see how many marks it is. Example, the question is 4 marks. You then times it by two and subtract two from the answer. So it is 4 X 2= 8 and then 8 - 2= 6. The answer is how long it should take you to do the question!
Read the question carefully. Then make a quick mind map on the paper that takes about 30 seconds. Give the ideas that are the answers to the question. After that, choose two that are the best, and give two lines through your mind map. It will mean that it is not part of your answer. And now you are ready to write your descriptor!
You must give an opening. Repeat the question, and then answer with one of the points is. Then make the argument. And finally, by using your research, you write the source, a book or a saying by someone, to support your argument. After that, you do it again with the second point.
You're done, you must give the conclusion in the end. It must be the writer's work of understanding, not the argument or the sources. If you're done, you have a nice framed work of a descriptor.
You must also manage your time. 6 minutes, so you must do it quick.
Here is a blurry example...
So Mr. Rick asks us to do our own descriptors by making a quiz... After explaining a little, it is time to get out of the class
3. What we can improve is manage our time wisely. When doing the tests, we don't spend much time thinking too long, we must write so we can do our exam quickly. And we must study for the exam next week....

Week 14 Day 2
We watch the same video the whole day. It really sounds very boring...
1. Mr. Rick came inside the class...
...and notices that the speakers don't work. As usual, the technology in here is nearly all broken, and the speakers always don't work. We're supposed to continue the video yesterday. Mr. Rick sends a student outside to look for an extension cord. But then Mr. Rick has to go out of the class to look for it.
Okay so it's done, and Mr. Rick can set up the speakers now and we can continue the video.
2. We left off somewhere 4 minutes of the video, so here it is...
The video is really boring, and the video speaks too fast. After a few minutes, everyone looks really bored and were ready to sleep. Even Mr. Rick went out of the classroom for a while. Maybe Mr. Rick needs to prepare a better video that is more fun?
After 33 minutes, the video was stopped. In total, the video was about 45 minutes long. So next week we need are going to continue the little bit of the video next week. And now is the time to get out of the class...
3. What we can improve is... to not get bored in a video and pay attention to it. It is going to be hard to pay attention to a 45 minute video, but we can always improve, right?
Tuesday, 15 April 2014
Week 14 Day 1
There is not going to be any more LdLs for the rest of the year, so the blog will have no teaching pictures. But there will be a lot of lecture!
1. Today, Mr. Rick did not come late. The class was still noisy when Mr. Rick came in. So here is Mr. Rick...
Because last week there was no class for day 2 due to a "holiday", so this time we have to catch up with all the lecture. And thankfully Mr. Rick said that there will be no teaching for the rest of the year, so this is a very good time to catch up.
Mr. Rick is going to teach these two topics: "Napoleon, the first European?" and "Why was Napoleon defeated? Part 1" So here is Mr. Rick teaching...
2. We're going to talk about the first topic first. There are 3 poisons of government and business. They are Nepotism, Corruption and Collusion.
Nepotism is hiring friends and family to lead a government or business instead of hiring people that are qualified to be in that position. Friends and Family might not qualify in this position.
Then there is Corruption. There are two types of corruption. The first one is Bribing, giving money or favors to somebody to get a special favor. It is like a student bribing a teacher money to get the student good grades. The second one is Extortion, where the leader forces you to pay money for a favor. So it is like a teacher lowering the student's grade, and the teacher forces the student to pay them money to get the student their grades higher.
The last one is Collusion, where people secretly plot something to destroy the government or business.
And there must be something you should know when leading a government or a business, people would work harder for themselves rather than for the leader.
Napoleon could not manage a very big territory with just a small army and one country. He is going to need help. So he bribes people and made his family to help him. And because his family was part of this, this became a family business for him. Napoleon is very caring to his family.
Napoleon invented the first economic market. France will have a big territory, have many people and a strong currency.
Mr. Rick told us to Google The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Here are the results...
The Japanese were influenced by how Napoleon ruled! This is how this was almost successful!
But the problem is, Britain was the Enemy of France. Napoleon oppressed people who tried to trade with Britain, and this made rebellions.
Now for the Second topic! There were three reasons that Napoleon was defeated. Mr. Rick made us watch two videos. This is the first video...
And the second video. This second video has lots of information, so Mr. Rick wants us to note down things from the video.
What the blog author got from the video is that Napoleon was born in Corsica and he was born on a sofa and he was a genius. (So people who were born on a sofa is a genius?) We are going to continue the rest tomorrow.
3. What we can improve is to listen to the lesson more. Mr. Rick can talk about important things that will come out in the test. We even have to take notes on the informational videos!

Week 13 (Tuesday)
Because there is no fifth member in our class, everyone is free of LdLs. Next class (Wednesday) is a holiday, so our LdLs will be next week.
1. Mr. Rick did not come too late, a few other students came in the class later than Mr. Rick.
Mr. Rick noticed that we don't have a fifth member in our class, so he will give us tech time in the end of class! This is called "catch-up week" so we can catch up on stuff that we missed.
Okay. Now, Mr. Rick is going to teach about "Did Napoleon Betray the Revolution? Part 2". Here is Mr. Rick teaching...
2. During the revolution, there were many good things in the country that were destroyed, and Napoleon needs to fix all this. First, he needed a way to rule. There are three types of leadership. Autocratic leadership, Democratic leadership and Laissez-faire.
In Autocratic leadership, it is the leadership from the top. So, the leader controls everything, bossing around. It is like, "Me boss, you minion. I say, you do." This leadership is used in the military. If it were not like this, the army would lose the war! The person in the top must be obeyed with no question. You must be more afraid of your leader punishing you than anything else that will come your way. The leader does not want to hear anything from the people, he only does his way. The bad thing about the leadership is that if no one is going to help you, it will fall in long terms.
In Democratic leadership, it is leadership from the middle. The leader is boss, but he also works in a team. So there are people giving some advice, and the leader listens and considers it. They still listen to the people even though the leader is the boss.
The last one is Laissez-Faire. It is a new word, so Mr. Rick asks us to google it.
Here are the results from the Wikipedia...
This leadership is from the bottom. The leader doesn't even sound like a leader, because he is a part of the team, working together. It sounds like there is no leader! This way of leadership is really hard, but it will work in long terms, making it sound that it will last forever.
The first task in any leader is to duplicate himself/herself in others. It means, the leader needs to make new leaders. Napoleon chooses the Autocratic leadership, because he is not going to be in power for long. He just needs to fix some things.
Napoleon changed a lot of things, and created the France Civil Code, which is the Code Napoleon.
3. Because there are no teachers, we all have some tech time! Hooray!
Unfortunately, it doesn't last long, so we have to go out of class. Next week will be the start of LdL.
4. What we can improve is to listen to the teacher well. Instead of not listening to the teacher during class and studying at home instead, you will miss valuable information that the teacher taught out of the book. And when you have the test on it, you will be glad that you know the answers because you listened to the teacher!

Week 12 Day 2
We have the last person to do the LdL today. Next week there is no one with LdL because we have finished LdL 3.
1. Mr. Rick always come late. He has to pay Rp. 5000 every time.
You will know how busy his Wednesdays are because he prepared a coffee at 7.15 am and then only is able to drink it when it is around 2.15 pm.
Okay! Now to work. Today is the last day for LdL 3, so no teachers for next week, because we don't have a fifth group member, while some other groups do. We have to wait patiently. And the good thing is, our class doesn't have a group with five members! Mr. Rick reads the teachers for today. Then... drum rolls for one of our group members who is going to teach today. It's just, funny.
Here is Mr. Rick preparing the PowerPoint. He is going to teach the topic about "Did Napoleon Betray the Revolution?"
Here is Mr. Rick teaching the topic...
2.
Napoleon is smart and a great tactician, but he is ruthless. And he ruled France for 15 years, longer than anyone who ruled, since the King.
We have a review. Left Wing are the radicals, and the Right Wing are the conservatives. The Right Wing wants to use the old way of doing things, but the left wing still wants to continue the Republic, which is the hard way. When France goes from a monarch into a republic, the situation is difficult and people don't know what to do and how to act. They need a strong leader to rule and settle things down.
Appeasement is not a good way to rule. As yesterday said, (But I didn't write it because it is wrong) you can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but not all of the people all of the time. Napoleon said, "I intend to keep the Revolution's useful changes, but not to abandon the good institutions it destroyed."
The leaders of the army are the nobles and the aristocrats, who were the rich people. During the Revolution, the Revolutionaries killed the aristocrats, so... the military has no leader, and the army is threatened! And the revolution is in need of the army, so it is quite dumb to kill the aristocrats...
To stop the bad way of the government, there are Émigrés (people who are going out of the country) looking for help in other countries. Germany is a friend of Austria, and Austria is fighting France, so these people ask help from Germany. Then, pretends to support the Revolution, they take over the country, and it is Coup d'état.
3. Now it is the time to teach! Here is Mr. Rick preparing.
And here is the teacher today who gets the drum rolls. (Claps! Don't get surprised please)
And Mr. Rick grading the teacher...
(I'm doing this for the blog portfolio, not for other purposes. OKAY???)
After teaching, Mr. Rick asks us to do a short class activity. We have to find Comparative evidence for how Napoleon ruled France. It means, the difference between the ruling before and during Napoleon. We have to split the topics into research by each team member. The topics are...
-Government
-Individual Rights
-Education
-The Church
-Social Classes
We write it in a Google Document like so.
This is the class and their groups discussing the work.
But the time is limited, so we have to do the rest for Homework. So... no teaching for tomorrow. Hopefully we'll do something, like Battlefield Academy.
4. What we can improve everyday is to ask good BHQs to the teacher. The teacher will have more teaching material, and will also challenge the teacher to think more deeply.
1. Mr. Rick always come late. He has to pay Rp. 5000 every time.
You will know how busy his Wednesdays are because he prepared a coffee at 7.15 am and then only is able to drink it when it is around 2.15 pm.
Okay! Now to work. Today is the last day for LdL 3, so no teachers for next week, because we don't have a fifth group member, while some other groups do. We have to wait patiently. And the good thing is, our class doesn't have a group with five members! Mr. Rick reads the teachers for today. Then... drum rolls for one of our group members who is going to teach today. It's just, funny.
Here is Mr. Rick preparing the PowerPoint. He is going to teach the topic about "Did Napoleon Betray the Revolution?"
Here is Mr. Rick teaching the topic...

Week 12 Day 1
Today is the start of term 4. And in the beginning of class, there has been a lot of infractions already!
1. Come on when is Mr. Rick going to come! The treasurer is picking up a lot of money from the students who break the rules...
And now Here is Mr. Rick! Mr. Rick reads out who are the teachers today and has a little chat with one of the students while preparing the PowerPoint.
And then Mr. Rick realizes he hasn't paid for being late! So he has to pay, Rp. 5000 as usual for teachers...
And Now Mr. Rick is going to teach the topic for this term, "Coup d'état!" And here is Mr. Rick teaching...
CHEESE!
2. We are still in the Topic of the French Revolution. And now on the topic, the word "Coup d'état" (pronounced coo-de-ta) is when someone takes over the government illegally.
During this time in France, the Jacobins is the one who are governing. The problem is, they can lead the revolution, but they cannot govern well. So until 1799, the crisis continues.
Mr. Rick talks about how people are in the politics. There are the left wing, and the right wing. The left wing or leftists, are people who want radical change. So, they want to make new changes. The right wing are conservatives, people who want to conserve the traditional way to do things, like usually done. There is this also in America, but the right one is the radical and the left one is the conservative.
Mr. Rick also ask us to research about Soekarno and Soeharto, the first and second presidents of our country Indonesia. How are they put down from power and was there a cue? Each group splits into two teams, one search Soekarno, one searches Soeharto.
3. Apparently, we took too much time discussing about the research rather than having time to teach. So, there was very limited time to teach.
The Teacher has some problems with his PowerPoint, so Mr. Rick grades others first. Here...
And now the PowerPoint can open, the teacher can teach.
And here is Mr. Rick grading the teacher. Say CHEESE!
Teaching time was short. So after we send the LdL scorecards, we have to go quickly to our next class so we would be on time. Hurry!
4. What we can improve better is to listen to the teacher well. If you don't, you will lose valuable information that can come out in the tests. Also, you might not have any ideas for depth in thinking for the blog...
