Can't work in group projects.
The teacher is going to yell at me once I get back to school because I didn't do my work in this group project.
It was to write a big poem about something. So yeah, I had these 2 girls in my group to work with. They already got started. and .. well I can't work with them!
They weren't speaking ENGLISH .. and I don't know spanish! They both are like best friends so I couldn't butt into the conversation.. (I'm uber shy x3554343 :[)
And they were working on their own and each person had to write 3 stanzas.. but I had no clue what they wrote.
So i didn't want to repeat and get in trouble..
Is it really my fault?
They both got up and walked away right in the middle of it. They both worked together and forgot about me.
I dont know.

Its definetly not your fault. Just tell your teacher that you don't speak their launguage and wish to work in English. She should understand.

Well for one, if they aren't speaking english then this isn't your fault. So yes, you should go talk to your teacher and tell her that you are in an American classroom and you wish to work in English. [Okay so maybe a little nicer, that might get you into trouble depending on your teacher] I'm sure she'll understand if you don't even speak their language.
I do recommend you writing three stanzas though just so it looks like you did something. If there was a given topic, just try your best to write about that. If there wasn't one, try writing about something you like [IE; nature, art, sports etc]
Good Luck <3

You should really discuss this with your teacher. Dont be scared to either,explain to her why it was hard to do this. Work on the project by yourself, do a bit more work on it than average. Dont sweat it, im guessing you usually dont always do this, so the teach might not have that big of a problem with it. If she does, get a parent or guardian to call her or send her a letter explaining to her why it was hard to work with them and get it done. Hope I helped Happy holidays!

Excuse me?
The women or whatever your teacher is expects you to work with two girls who do not speak our language? That's disturbing.
Hell no, it is not your fault.
When you go back to school, please ask your teacher how she expects you to work with two people who don't even speak the same language.

How rude of them. They have no right to exclude you like that. No, it's not your fault. They're just being a lousy group.
I've been with groups like that many times. I know all too well how uncomfortable and frustrating it can be.
Just go to the teacher and explain to him your predicament. Tell him exactly what you said in this post. He should understand.
If you're supposed to work on it OVER BREAK and you have no way of contacting him, do the whole thing yourself. I know that it's probably going to be useless, considering that your group won't work with you, but it's a backup plan so that you won't be completely lost. Also, at least he can't yell at you for having nothing done.

Hi,
That really is a bummer. I know what it's like to be a group that's hard to work with.
I think the best thing you should do when you get back is ask to see your teacher, preferably before the project is due (even if you have to do it during lunch period). Explain to him/her what you just wrote, and about how it was hard for you. You should probably mention that it would have been better for you to come to him/her earlier on in the project (your teacher is more likely to cut you slack if you take responsibility), but that it was just overwhelming for you. Try to work something out with your teacher; if you're lucky, s/he will talk to your groupmates with you.
Good luck, I hope I helped!
