In the Academic Decathlon class, each student needs to learn ten subjects: art, music, math, economics, social science, science, literature, speech, essay, and interview. The ten subjects contain this year's theme: World War One. Students are assigned many pages of different subjects to read each day and will be tested the second day.
For subjects except essay, speech, and interview, students need to read resource guide first, then take quizzes to examine their ability, last review wrong questions after taking the quizzes. Sometimes, the coach will show movies and powerpoint to help teaching the materials.
For speech, each A team student needs to create one speech and present an impromptu speech. Prepared speech is timed for 4 minutes, and impromptu is timed for 2 minutes with one minute of preparation.
The interview and essay are learned from various practices with other experienced non- A team members.
The learning process in ACADEC class is very important for me. I learned that
