Week 3 Day 2

We have History Class today, and the lecturing was short! More of it was about the teaching.

1. We learnt about Part 2 of "What was life like before the revolution?" We reviewed the 3 estates. This is Mr. Rick...

Then we started something new. We talked about the lava lamp effect. It is about the clergy and nobility being lower than the third estate, the middle class. It is mixed up, so the revolution happened. This is the class taking notes...

This is the group taking notes...

2. As Mr. Rick taught us about the lava lamp effect, it doesn't seem quite fair. You could become a second estate nobility and be poorer than other rich merchants in the third estate. This made titles seem meaningless. The country had to pay tax as well. The first estate did not need to pay tax. The second estate did not need to pay most of the taxes. The third which is everyone else, had to pay all the tax. For the rich ones, they could pay the tax and still have money left. For the poorer ones, especially the peasants had to work for the tax. It is like being taxed without benefit. On the same time, the Americans are having the same problem, and they rebel. So the French did the same thing!

3. If the teacher is late, he has to pay Rp.5000. Today Mr. Rick is late...

Same like everyone, if they break the rules, they have to pay Rp.2000. We have regular book check, where we have to raise our books and see if others have them as well. If not, they have to pay. Like this one...

And we do computer check. Luckily everyone brought their computers. And for the girls, they have to have their hair tied back. For the boys, they have to make sure their undershirt is not longer than their school uniform. Everyone followed this rule well.
Now, we have the teaching. This is our lecturer for today...

He prepared an okay presentation. But... Mr. Rick came and said that it was only 9 minutes long. It had to be 10-15 minutes long. We have to make longer presentation. 
Mr. Rick told the class about the PowerPoint presentation length. It must be long enough. He also told us on how to score the lecturer.

4. On what we can do better is to pay attention to the lecturer and we should be listening to the teacher well. We should also be serious when doing things that are serious, so we can learn well. One more, we should be communicating with each other and reminding things that will be coming up.
