My social studies teacher used to teach drama, until they got rid of that. He’s explained that mostly this year, we will be doing a lot of things we did in that class, like performing skits and doing big projects. Artistic things. Well, he assigned our table groups. I’m friends with one girl in my group, and the three others I’m not too friendly with on a daily basis. We have to do a skit about why history is important, and our theme is the military. Me and one boy in our group were the only ones talking. I tried so hard to get them interested, but they did nothing and looked at me the whole time. I don’t mind taking charge on these things, I love being creative and writing, but even when I went around and asked them to each say why history is important, they gave me pretty much nothing. I want so badly to get a good grade on this project. I’m not going to let myself fail because of them, but I need their help. How the hell do I get these kids to just do their part?

Just give them a part and make them do it. Tell the teacher if the are completely uncooperative. This happens to me all the time, and I just give them a part they’re ok with and move along.
Explain the situation to your teacher. The other students refusal to work should not reflect on your grade. He IS the teacher, not YOU. These kids may resent his teaching methods because they did not sign up for drama class under the guise of history. Once again HIS territory, not yours.
keep try ask your teacher polite. try to explained to your friend they will understand you, dont too worry if they didnt like you, they just gelouse with you cos u know much about history than them
