i really need help with this one. my government teacher assigned us to do these hearings where we researched something in the constitution and argued about it infront of some people she brought in. we had a group of four, and the fourth member crapped out on us and didnt do any work. the teacher said that she would kick people out of groups if they didnt work. it was a bluff, she didnt want to do kick her out. so we presented with her anyway, and she didnt say much of anything at all. i needed a B to get a B for the semester and my stupid teacher gave our group a C.
im workin on a way to prove our case and get the few points to get the grade, but any suggestions would be very helpful!!!

Use what she said against her. If she said she would kick the girl she should be held to it. Try using the fact that she broke her word. How are you supposed to learn the value of giving your word and setting up guidelines if she does not follow through on her own? She should reevaluate you as a group of three.
Good luck!

Present your argument as to why you deserve a better grade to the teacher.
If she doesn't listen, go over her head - take it to the head of the department or the principal.
Teachers are usually impressed with students who show initiative.
