Week 4 Day 1

Week 4 Day 1

Today we don't have team teaching because we have more other things to do. We discussed about some questions, with the method Mr Rick told us during the first semester. Today no one got an infraction. Mr Rick showed us two videos. The whole class really pay attention to the videos.

After we finished watching both of the videos, Mr Rick lecture us about the "Changes in France". There are many discussions we made in class. When Mr Rick tell us about the "Changes in France", he said that there are a lot of changes in France. We learned that people in France are asked to pay their taxes, but only the third estates pay the taxes. The first and second estates payed a little, so the third estates got mad. The third estates are the middle classes and peasants, they are not noble nor royalty and not really rich, but they payed the most. The third estates don't want to pay the taxes. Then we learned that there are other people who don't have money to pay the feudal dues which is 50% of their wages. The second problem is that the third estates are just relaxing and enjoy their lives because they have many money and they don't have to pay the taxes.

After his lecture is done, Mr Rick gave us papers and he said that we are going to do something with it. Mr ask us to write the question he said later, and change it into a 'describe' question. Mr. Rick's question is "Why did the French Revolution started?", then we write "Describe the reason why the French Revolution started." Then he ask us to change it into a 'explain' question, then we write "Explain why does the French Revolution start." And we got both of them correct. Then he told us to draw a circle and right the answers in six branches. Mr Rick asked us to do a research on it so we have more concepts about it.

After we are done, Mr Rick ask us to choose two of the best answers that are related to each other. But we are not done with it so we did it as homework.
