The Whole Group


Beatrice Yoewono 

What we have learned during history is that before, there was no subject called History in this school, and it was a new subject. Now, we became more knowledgeable, so we do not repeat the mistakes we made from the past.
We also became more responsible in doing things, so we can get the job done quickly. Before, there weren't as many projects. Projects are now needed for every subject. 
During the whole year, we must work in a team of 4, which makes us improve our team work and leadership.  We work together as a team, no one works individually. We get to know each other, and how their behavior in working together.
In History, we have to manage coursework file and a blog, and it requires organizing things, putting stuff together... etc. This lesson makes us improve a lot.

I did became a better person. And not just saying that, i might be saying this because I am asked to but i did. Everybody in this class and in team delta became better. From mentally and physically, we don't just tell the teacher we solve problems ourselves

Of course there were some fights and we did fell behind. Sometimes people who study hard do tend to get good score but people who just memorize and don't understand tend to fail. I do meet geniuses who study and get amazing result. I see geniuses don't study and get amazing results. I see people study and fail. But i like the people who question themselves because they don't know how good they are.

We all became a better person and its really great to see. Sometimes i wonder to myself after talking and while writing this. "have i myself became a better person?" that was a question worth asking and i really do want to know . Have i myself became a better person, i myself would say yes since i have improved but then people have different perspective and in some i am still a not a better person. But for me i have walked out a better person.

Of course I became a better person. I'm not just saying this because I don't want Mr Rick to feel bad about himself for not being able to make me a better person, but because it really did happen. From the first History lesson, I knew that this lesson would be different from the others, the ways of teaching, the tests and exams and the unique style of learning.

In the History team I've been in, I've learnt the many advantages of working as a team. It would produce amazing ideas not thought of by other people and finish work a lot faster than working alone. From what I've observed, some people in school does not really care about their grades but for some reason, they never fail. Sometimes I started to think like them but History class has made it easier for me to study and complete tasks not only for History but for other classes which takes my mind off of failing.

Like what a lot of people say, "We learn from our mistakes". I personally expect myself to be a genius because of the amount mistakes I've made in the past. Mr Rick's History class and his teaching methods has taught me that we sometimes have to sacrifice making a few mistakes in life to achieve something even better. I don't know what this class has done to other people, but it definitely change my life.

I have improved because of having History lesson. Mr Rick teaches History with a different way with the other teachers. He let us to gather into groups and ask us to discuss projects, work and test reviews with our groups which us make more independent and having more cooperation with other people.

In teams, I noticed that it helps me a lot. It divides work for each member to do. History, has the most confusing coursework files and all of that stuffs...
But if we work together, by asking each other "What this means ?" or "How to do this?". The other lessons are very hard because we get into groups when we are in a project. It is like "Everyman for themselves."

Sometimes we have problems in our groups. Sometimes we cant solve it, but then next time we do not repeat the same mistake that we have done before. This is our first year in History Class, and we are a little bit new to it. In G8, we would have done better and would Co-Operate more. History is not hard, all you need to do is just try your best with your teams.
