Sometimes when Mr. Armstrong ask us question, to make sure that we understand, people would be eager to answer the question in my eyes. Today, Mr. Armstrong asked us question to test us if we've been doing well at taking notes without him being in the class. As he gave out question, the questions were always answered by various students and eventually getting them right. Some students made up jokes or made mistakes that were really funny making the class spirit rise. But as always I thought his questions was always challenging and it is still challenging for me, but when other students answer the question and the teacher elaborating the answer made me understand more about this American Revolution and have fun because of all the jokes that had happened in between study time.
We went through many topics during class. First was about why and what the Indians were fighting with either with the British or with the Americans. There were several answers and a joke (The Thinker) when a Native American came out and we had to guess what the picture was about. We learned that the Native Americans were fighting to save their homeland and they didn't care if the Americans were independent or not.
We had several map questions that we didn't need to take notes on. I felt as if he was testing if we are reading the details he is giving out or just finding the keyword and take notes or if we could guess well by reading the map and noticing what was going on. I thought it was a great question that we should think about it more than just taking notes than to just read.
We learned more and more by Mr. Armstrong elaborating our answers for the questions that we gave and made us understand more about how the Revolution went on. I thought I learned a lot today and it would be in my mind till we finish our Social Studies Final. I was thankful of Mr. Armstrong for helping us and let our emotion out in the class room to lift our spirits.
