REFLECTION QUESTION: WEEK 1

On Friday we talked about humanitarian crisis; how we can help and bring light to certain issues. In regards to refugees, we touched on helping a person without infringing on their dignity. What are some ways that you think refugees can be giving back their universal human rights, while still honoring their self-respect?

OUR EXPECTATIONS, AND YOURS...

As students, all of you are aware of expectations and what they entail. Although our Friday evening sessions will be laid-back, exciting and full of fun, there are certain expectations that we have of you. 

• Students should attend every class, since we only meet once a week. If you are unable to attend, please email us to let us know. If you are part of a group assignment, you must take responsibility to communicate with your partners if you are unable to make it to a presentation.
• Students must respond in their weekly journals in a thoughtful and reflective way. We will be using this platform for submitting weekly journals.
• All of our students come from different backgrounds and every home is different. We will practice respect, and therefore will not tolerate negative or hurtful remarks made by any of our students.

Those are our expectations of you. Now take some time to consider what your expectations are of us and of the class that you will be a part of every Friday evening for the rest of the school year, inshallah. Please comment below with your thoughts.
