Our geography lessons are cool


Each geography lesson starts with an agenda that my teacher writes on the board. The first thing there is the rule of 8XS, which means:

1. When Senior
2. Speaks
3. Students are
4. Silent
5. When a Student
6. Speaks (e.g answering or speeching)
7. the other Students are
8. Silent.
Then we talk about our homework. Our teacher asks us questions about our homework; if we do it right we get a + and if we get it wrong (which means we didn’t do our homework properly) and we get a -. A “plus” = 0,1 extra for on our next major test, a “minus” = we lose a +. We also get a – if we don’t concentrate in classroom. The third thing we have on our agenda is reading and answering a few questions in our book. Next on the agenda is that we watch something on the TV about geography in Dutch for 5 minutes and take notes in English. After our notes our teacher asks what is it about, and we have to explain that for a +. My geography teacher is fond of offering us criss cross puzzles (as a small quiz, we get a mark for). I like geography a lot and I also like my class. Bye, Alexandra

hello !!
I am marina.
Your geography lessons are really cool !!!
In our school we have two subjets in English , mathematics and technology.
The English's tecaher has a seal (an object that is used to leave a marc)her seal put " your son didn't
make the home work " and our parents must put their name , when we dont make the homework she puts a negative ( - ) she also puts a negative when we speak in Spanish ,but when we make the homework and we are good she puts a positive ( + ).
well .... bye bye I am going to sleep !!! zZzZzZ

At Tim: Don't do like that against Marina. I think she's a nice girl.

At Timhater: Bullying on the internet is forbidden! In extremely conditions you can get punished by Police & Justice!


It was so funny last major test: Randy asked Kaj if he could get a testpaper and then Mr. Smit said: "DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT!!" Today we had very much fan about that... :P

But he is very nice and now I have to go.

Bye!
