Abstract

Assassination Classroom tells the story of students who are victims of discrimination who take advantage of the nature around them to hone their abilities in academic and non-academic fields. This study aims to describe students who are taught how to utilize natural resources appropriately. The method used in this research is contextual. The contextual method is a method that can help assess a work based on the historical and cultural context in which it was created and based on its textuality. There are several key results of this study: (1) class 3E students were taught to use springs on the mountain as a shared swimming pool during the summer. (2) students were taught to utilize animal and vegetable resources for the school festival. Class 3E students made a tavern with a food menu in which raw ingredients are taken directly from the mountain where their class is located. The conclusion of this study is to show how important the relationship between humans and nature is. The utilization of natural resources still must pay close attention to natural ecosystems to maintain the balance of nature.
