• The importance of communication

• Sometimes it's better to give up and wait for a better opportunity

• Coulomb's Law

(2)

Writing the original satirical piece together with my friends as well as the feedback and reaction we got from you.

(6)

Try adding more interactive activities where students can interact, or you can interact with students

ex:) moral dilemma debate

(2) What was your most memorable activity from this year?

• The most memorable activity was presenting the Module 2 lessons to each other during class. I also enjoyed reading and analyzing the short stories from Module 1, such as "A Family Supper"

(3) Which assignments helped you learn the best this year?

• The outline assignments (Whether it be for an essay or the historical fiction) were more entertaining to me than the actual writing assignments, and they helped me create a clearer vision for my writing. It is something ill continue using in the future as well inshaAllah.

(5) What advice would you give to students who’ll be in this subject next year?

• I would tell them not to feel stressed or anxious about this class at all. It is fun and easygoing, and Teacher Dian makes sure we are always comfortable and prioritizes our own health over anything else. (Such as giving us extended time to do assignments) She makes the class enjoyable and applicable to our everyday life (such as when we analyzed Quranic parables, or when we analyzed College essays together). The class overall leaves a lasting impression on the student. Jazaaki Allahu Khairan Teacher Dian for this amazing year.

In terms of assignments that facilitated my learning the most, I found the collaborative group projects to be incredibly beneficial. Working with peers not only encouraged lively discussions but also provided diverse perspectives that enriched our analyses and interpretations. While important for reinforcing foundational skills, dedicating less time to grammar drills and allocating more time to engaging activities like discussions and creative writing could enhance overall learning experiences. I want to thank sister Dian for helping and supporting the students work. I would advise them to approach each reading assignment with an open mind and a willingness to delve beneath the surface. Don't hesitate to ask questions, seek clarification, and engage in discussions with peers and teachers—it's through active participation that the learning experiences emerge and join sister Dian' office or email her if you have any questions or concerns that you were confused about any assignments. Your my favorite Teacher of All :))

Whenever we read poems, it was great to see everyone's insight on how they perceived and interpreted them because, I think, it brought significance to what was being taught. I was able to see how creative my writing skills were and how I could expand them beyond that. During collaborative work, I saw how my classmates and I combined all our thoughts together and came up with creative work that made us proud.

(2) What was your most memorable activity from this year?

There were a lot of things we did this year that I enjoyed, but to be honest, as surprising as it may sound, I really enjoyed the historical fiction essay that we did. Being able to work collaboratively with my friends, putting so much creativity into it, and just honestly having fun with the assignment is a great memory for me.

(5) What advice would you give to students who’ll be in this subject next year?

I would tell them that you have a side to you that feels like a friend, and it's fun to make you laugh because it makes us laugh, so don't be afraid to reach out. Focus and do your work well, enjoy what you're learning, have fun, and have a good bond with everyone, because that's what allowed me to make great memories!

Note: Alhamdulillah, this year went by so fast, and we learned so many great things that, InshaAllah, I will carry with me forever and hopefully pass on to others! Sister I can't express the gratitude I feel for all your hard work and kindness this year. You truly made this year unforgettable, and I'll always treasure it close to my heart. May Allah SWT put Barakah in all that you do in your future, and may He grant you Jannatul Firdous for all your effort Ameen!

2. I really liked the song analysis assignment because I got to share two lesser know songs

3. Class discussions really help me learn because collecting my thoughts verbally so that others understand me also helps me understand myself

4. I can't really think of anything that didn't fit in the curriculum but if I had to choose something, I'd obviously pick the long essays

5. Please don't procrastinate as I've learned that lesson the hard way

6. I've been racking my brain and I can't think of anything lol

1- Finding literary devices in the Quran/ the Quranic parables assignment, which was really enjoyable

2- Studying the differences between the perspectives of nature, such as the Emersonian perspective vs. the Islamic perspective. Again, really enjoyable !!

3- Also learned that reading Julius Ceasar with accents is a lot of fun

(2)

The historical fiction, without a doubt. Took way longer than it should have for me at least but I was really happy with my story in the end! The satire was also fun :)

(3)

Actually the graphic organizer for the historical fiction assignment, in the way that it separated the parts of a story (through structure) and instructed us on how the information should be presented in each.

(4)

None! I genuinely enjoyed all the writing assignments we had and felt that I learned a lot from them.

(5)

Maybe to ask for feedback on writing? I found that it encouraged and helped me a lot, even when my writing wasn't in need of changing. Also to turn on the live word count option in your writing software so you can keep track of your writing and don't get too carried away haha

(6)

Can't think of anything, I felt very supported this year Alhamdulillah c:

~hiba

1) I learned many new writing strategies and fun facts about my teacher and classmates. 2) I think the most memorable activity for me is writing historical fiction with my group. It was a very fun assignment, especially since I love stories. 5). Try having fun while learning, do the best you can, and join office hours for extra help.

5. My advice for future students would be not to be afraid to share your thoughts, whether it be through the microphone or the public Zoom chat. In this class, both the mic and the chatbox were ways for us to get to know each other better and expand our perspectives on topics. So, don't doubt yourself if you think your ideas are not good enough; they will always benefit at least one person!

6. You've done a great deal to support us, Alhamdulillah! From providing extensions during times when I needed them most, to revising parts of your lesson plan just to make it easier for us, your efforts have always been helpful. In high school, where students are often stressed about assignments and tests looming every new week, your class offers us a breath of relaxation! May Allah grant you Jannat al-Firdaus and reward your efforts, sister. Ameeeeen

1. Being consistent on prayer helped get affairs accomplished

2. The good outcome of being interactive with students

3. Having high aspirations as to matters related to your own hoppy
