In her classes, she is very organized and so is her class. If you are in her classes, you should be relatively silent, because she does not tolerate loud students. Everyone participates. After teaching you what you need to know very well, she will always, or almost always, give you homework. Sometimes though she doesn't give out homework.

After correcting, Ms. Ardell usually has something to teach you, and if there is someone else you need to do on homework, she will tell you it. Then the rest of the class time is quiet. She will be correcting assignments and will be available if you need help.

In her Social Studies class, you learn about many things, starting with the earliest humans. Then you would be taught about the geographies thousands of years during B.C. you learn about things like fertile land, rivers, and how Africa was a savanna many thousands of years ago, before it is what it is now, which is a desert. You move on to India and other lands. At the end the year, you start learning about Romans.

In the debate class, you will be picking topics and sides. Then you will be researching them and giving facts to support your side. There are usually several different topics. It's mostly self-explanatory.
