1. Mr. Rick comes in a little bit late.
This is Mr. Rick preparing the computer. The projector is a little bit blue in color... but that's alright.
The teams that did not get to present yesterday need to present today. The first one to present is team Charlie, which is Team Starbuckz. This is their PowerPoint...
Most of them did a good job. They did not look at the PowerPoint too much and read the Powerpoint too much. They need to explain more about what is in the PowerPoint, though.
The second team is team Bravo, which is SwiftGrande. This is their PowerPoint.
Their PowerPoint was much different than the rest of the groups. Their PowerPoint was very colorful and the font looks nice. The others PowerPoints look a bit... too... formal. Most of the group members did not read much at all, instead they explain. One of the team members gave a very lively presentation. (Good job on that one!)
After everyone is done, Mr. Rick told us that we have to teach with depth. So, we will not just explain it, but we also show depth in teaching. Mr. Rick still has time, so he gave us a demo on how to teach with depth.
This will be timed. Mr. Rick will teach about the Causes of the French Revolution. It must be about 3 minutes. Okay, ready... Go!
Mr. Rick showed us how to teach with depth. Unfortunately, he didn't time it well and he ended up with 3 minutes and 48 seconds. But he taught with depth, as he told everyone to do the same. And Mr. Rick said that you should not memorize the PowerPoint, as memorizing is much lower than the first step on the Bloom's Taxonomy Ladder, which is Knowledge. We should do more research on the topic, but not memorize your research.

And the Homeroom class of Grade 9 is waiting outside, so the class is dismissed. The Team Presentation weeks have ended. HOORAY!!!
2. What we can improve better is to be serious and listening to the people who talk in front. If we are not serious, the people in front might be laughing as well, and they will not concentrate. Also, we need to pay attention to the person who is speaking in front.
(*) The Albert Einstein picture is not mine. It is someone else's, and I looked up the link to see where it is from. The link is not the source to who it belongs, so I don't know who made it. But thank you for providing the pictures! :)
