Reflections
Shweta Gupta
Homeroom Advisor
Abeer is an expressive and energetic student. He displays the learner profile of being a communicator as he
expresses his feelings, thoughts and ideas in words clearly. He is encouraged to work diligently on his self-
management skills so as to complete all his work on time without several reminders from teachers. Since he is
a confident speaker he is advised to take initiative and participate in several school activities like Debating and
assemblies on different subjects. Wishing him all the best for the next academic session!

Interdisciplinary learning in the Middle Years Programme (MYP) assists students in comprehending bodies of
knowledge from two or more disciplines or to integrate and develop new understanding. Students demonstrate
interdisciplinary understanding when they combine concepts, methods, or modes of communication from two or
more disciplines (subjects) to explain a phenomenon, solve a problem, create a product, or raise a new question
in ways that a single discipline would not have been able to do. Over a period of 18 weeks, MYP 2 students were
engaged in an Interdisciplinary Unit titled “Chiaroscuro”. Science and Visual Arts were the discrete subjects that
were integrated into the process of Inter-Disciplinary learning. During the interdisciplinary learning process, students
combined their learning from both subjects and explored how to produce artwork by applying the understanding of
light and shade, the effect of distance of source and object on the size and shape of shadow, and tones to promote
social justice and peace and raise voices against injustice against children and women.
Abeer has been regular to IDU lessons but he has shown limited interest and participation in different in-class
activities and formatives assigned during the IDU lessons. He has developed a limited understanding of the
relevance of interdisciplinary learning in real-life through the unit ‘Chiaroscuro’. He should make a conscientious
effort to build relevant connections between conceptual understanding made across disciplines and the practical
applications of the same.
The Attendance for the academic year 2021-22 is 76 out of 87 days.

Service as Action
Outcomes: SA Progress: The student’s SA progress is concerning.. Overall Progress: Concern
Comments:
Abeer has been a limited contributor in service as action. He participated with minimum effort
and used very few skills to respond to others' needs. Abeer needs to be more proactive as
currently he does not meet the requirements of Service as Action even after reminders and
follow-ups.
Abeer has shown minimal participation towards service. He did not take initiatives for
activities and projects. He has also not collaborated on any group project. His self-initiated
projects remain incomplete, despite repeated reminders and follow-up. He has not
completed the requirements of service. Time management has been a big challenge for him
this entire year. For the next academic year, he is encouraged to work on his self-
management skills to complete all service requirements efficiently. He needs to be more
regular in SAA class to unlock his full potential through peer-to-peer discussions and
exchange ideas, as he had minimal attendance in class this term.

Comments:
The primary learning focus in First Language English for this academic year has been on the development of writing
and speaking skills through descriptive writing, writing for different purposes, and film studies. Abeer has been
an approaching communicator and a risk-taking student throughout this period. He has considerably developed
communication and creative thinking skills which reflect in his sparing responses in classroom discussions. He

needed constant reminders to complete all his work on time. He does all the work that is given to complete at home
but no work is done by Abeer in class. He is advised to set a study routine and ensure that he revisits the concepts
taught in class.

Comments:
The key focus of Literature is to enable students to read, interpret and evaluate texts through the study of literary
genres in English. Throughout the Term, Abeer showed himself to be a respectful student who has the caliber to
reach the next level in the subject with conviction and toil.

Abeer has shown limited interest in exploring and analysing the literary texts and their underlying themes. He has
scarcely identified some of the explicit ideas and meanings studied in the texts this semester. He shows a simple
understanding of surface meaning of the text and language.

Abeer Sheoran

Abeer shows minimal creative thinking skills in most aspects of the subject/

Our suggestions for Abeer are that he must push himself to participate enthusiastically in all the group activities and
contribute well by giving valuable inputs.

We would love to see him exceed and develop analytical, creative thinking and communication skills to accomplish
sensitivity and perceptiveness to the aesthetic qualities of the texts as well as meet higher achievement level.

We wish Abeer abundant focus and perseverance in his upcoming academic endeavours.

Comments:
In term 2, Individuals and Societies have covered two units – “How can energy be produced sustainably?” and
“Why are natural environments important to individuals and societies?”. Throughout these units, students used
their communication and thinking skills to identify different impacts of humans and scientific development on the
sustainability of the environment. Students demonstrated their skills in both these units through various organizers
like a mind map, see think wonder, and KWL chart. They learned to write discussion reports to communicate their
ideas and thoughts in a structured way.
Abeer displays very good insight and understanding. He can perform well but he requires to be more attentive in
class. Furthermore, he is communicative in class and collaborates well with his peers to some extent. His
contributionsto group tasks need to be apparent. However, he needs to hone his research and evaluation skills and
timely submission of the work. He must work on note building and revise content knowledge, especially in writing
answers which required deep understanding.

Comments:
Abeer has has been a polite member of the class. His attitude toward learning had been varied throughout the year.
I did not see much of him in the classes, and there were many challenges that he was struggling to overcome. He
did not ensure an appropriate level of subject discipline, namely: responsiveness in class, and timely submission of
assignments. At times he is focused and uses class time effectively, and at other times he is off task. He should
reflect on what he has learned by spending fifteen minutes reviewing his notes after each lesson. He can then return
to the next lesson with questions and further understanding. He has good analytical skills and needs to be honed to
reach his true potential.

Comments:
Abeer is a polite and talented student who shows very less interest in the subject. It has been observed that he rarely
makes an effort to engage in written tasks. Lack of regularity in submissions and a casual approach have slowed
his pace of progress. He is advised to be vocal about his doubts and should participate actively in class. He is,
however, finding parts of the course content easy.
He needs to be more conscientious when it comes to meeting assignment submission deadlines. Over this year, he
has struggled with this aspect of the teaching-learning process. Avoiding written tasks is detrimental to learning, as
learning without feedback is hardly useful if any substantive improvement is sought by the student. I sincerely hope
that the aforementioned points will be addressed by Abeer and in abundant measure in the forthcoming academic
year. He should also devote more time to self-study, as that is the surest way to imbibe the learnings shared in the
class and to become familiar with subject-specific concepts. Finally, I encourage him to clear his doubts during the
framework of the lesson related to the subject material discussed in class and to explore deeper concepts within a
topic.

For subject-specific improvement, he should ensure that he revises all the topics done in class.

Comments:

In MYP 2, students explored classical dances of India. Grace and precision of movement, as well as intricate formal
gestures, steps, and postures, distinguish this classical dance genre. Students looked into the history of classical
dance in their research. The majority of traditional dance styles have their origins in temples. The major goal was
to worship. Although each dance type originated in a distinct place, they all have the same roots. The Sanskrit text
'Natya Shastra' can be used to trace the origins. Students learned how traditional dancers walk farther and with
great agility as part of their skill development. The body crouches and twists frantically, the arms make broader,
more imitative gestures (as in fight scenes), and the facial expressions are exaggerated. Some of the teachings from
Indian Classical dance were It instills discipline, which is a valuable attribute in general.1. It teaches you how to
express yourself both verbally and nonverbally.2. Many classical dances are based on Indian mythology and history.
3.It teaches body equilibrium and aids in keeping proper posture.4. Classical dances are usually performed in pairs
or groups, which teaches cooperative work.5. Finally, it emphasizes the value of words. It teaches that even if you
don't speak the same language, gestures and actions may help you communicate. As a result, it becomes a common
ground for all communication.

Students were assessed in all four criteria (A: Knowing and Understanding, B: Developing Skills, C: Thinking
Creatively, and D: Responding). The culminating summative task was a dance choreography that students curated
as a result of the research they conducted in Criteria A.

Abeer is a pleasant student who displayed a passive interest in dance. He is open, honest, and clear in his thoughts
and beliefs. It is unfortunate Abeer did not submit any task and this makes it difficult to measure his achievement
level based on the criteria being assessed. He is encouraged to submit tasks to take ownership of his learning.

Abeer's process journal did not visualize conceptual understandings of the unit. He attempted to identify different
dance styles, techniques, choreographers, dancers, and developments in the world of dance with little success. He
was not able to master choreography skills such as variety, contrast, repetition, canon, unison, mirroring, and space
in the course of studying the unit. Additionally, he was not able to use dance terminology and this made it difficult
for him to communicate knowledge and understanding of classical dance. Abeer is encouraged to work on his self-
management skills to attain higher achievement levels.

Comments:
In Term 2, MYP 2 students studied devised theatre. Devised theatre, often known as a collective creation of a
theatre piece, is a theatre in which the creation of a dramatic piece is often derived through collaborative, often
improvisatory work. The ensemble is typically made up of actors, but other types of theatre practitioners, such
as visual artists, composers, and choreographers, may also play a role in this process of generative collaboration.
Devised theatre shares some common principles with improvisational theatre; however, in devising, improvisation is
typically confined to the creation process.

We explored the global context of Fairness and development with a major focus on rights, and students were
evaluated in all four criteria (A: Knowing and Understanding, B: Developing Skills, C: Thinking Creatively, and
D: Responding). Students researched and performed different strategies/techniques of various devised theatre
companies. Students developed small performances to practice new skills, and the unit's concluding product was a
devised performance that addressed the issue of rights in our society. The process journal formed a particularly vital
component of the learning process and evidence for the summative task.

Despite being a talented student, Abeer did not maintain a sufficient degree of subject discipline, as seen by
his lack of responsiveness in class, non-submission of assignments, and inconsistent work ethic. Despite several
reminders, Abeer consistently struggled with his assignments, and rarely reached out to the teacher, even though
he participated in all class activities. It would be great to see Abeer overcome these self-management difficulties
and achieve high levels of achievement. It is difficult to determine or quantify his full potential due to his lack of

submission and involvement in all class activities. He needs to work on a number of components of the course.
In order to obtain feedback, he must increase his level of engagement in all class activities, including formative
evaluations, process journal entries, and summative tasks.

Comments:
The students of MYP2 have been inquiring into the unit “Jingling Tunes.” The students were able to understand
the process of making a jingle. They were also able to understand why the jingles exist too. Misconceptions were
cleared, knowledge gained on the aesthetics, importance of aesthetics and language in jingles, etc. were some of
the topics the students went through before putting their knowledge to use to create their own jingles on the topic
“creating awareness on the importance of a healthy lifestyle”. In the previous term, the students were introduced
to different styles of music from the world. They did research on their favourite style of music and enriched their
knowledge and skills in music.

The students were given tasks to assess their level of understanding and ease of application of the knowledge
gained at regular intervals. Feedback was given by the peers, then the teacher after the students had first self-
evaluated their work. Thus, the students were able to critique work of art/presentation in the appropriate manner and
self-evaluate their own work too.

Abeer has been inconsistent with the submissions. He has neither submitted the process journals, nor the tasks,
despite extension and reminders. In the class, he chooses to be a passive participant most of the time.

mettle, adding feathers to his cap.

This term, students in Visual Arts tackled the unit “Words and Images,” sharpening their research, self-management
abilities, and logical development into subject-specific themes.

Students were graded on all four criteria (A: Knowing and Understanding, B: Developing Skills, C: Thinking Creatively
and D: Responding with “Words and Images” serving as the overarching idea.

Throughout the term, the students discussed core elements of the unit, discussed the theory of Words and Images,
typography, they conducted research on artists/artforms/artworks related to the unit, learnt about elements of
posters related to the topic, created digital and physical posters, developed layouts of the poster along with their
artistic intent, and created final artwork, followed by reflection.

The Summative project required the students design a poster for a Music Festival, using narrative skills through
visual expression, in which they applied the knowledge and methods they had learnt over the term. Students
collected their notes, posted the results of class activities, reflected on the effectiveness of their learning process,
placed images of rough sketches, work-in-progress, final artworks, and analyzed and evaluated the value of both
process and result in this Term's Process Journal.
Throughout the Term, Abeer tried to meet the expectations of the Visual Art course. Unfortunately, there were many
challenges that Abeer was not able to overcome, and I would like to highlight some of these issues in this report.

Abeer, unfortunately, did not ensure an appropriate level of subject discipline, namely: responsiveness in class and
timely submission of assignments. Despite, numerous prompts, Abeer constantly faced issues with his tasks, hardly
ever took the effort of reaching out to the teacher and showed limited participation in any class activities.

Based on this Term, it seems like Abeer was not that interested in the subject of Visual Art. Nevertheless, I believe
that had he accepted my guidance and tried to attempt establishing some sort of contact, Abeer could have
produced more evidence of effective development in the subject-specific Criteria, especially given the freedom of
the subject. The constant irregularity in submission directly impacts the results of the child in class. Due to missed
deadlines, it is challenging for Abeer to timely analyse my feedback and keep up with the pace of the class. I would
love to see Abeer overcome the mentioned challenges, as I am sure that he can meet a higher achievement level.

Abeer has not submitted his Criteria D for the summative assessment this term along with the Process Journal.
Without submitting the Process Journal throughout the Term, the student cannot be awarded a mark higher than
4 points in all the Criteria.I would suggest Abeer to maintain a Process Journal to record his development in an
organized manner, which will become evidence of his progress.

I wish Abeer and his family a wonderful and peaceful summer break, and I look forward to seeing a more active
participation in the new academic year!

Comments:
Abeer expresses eagerness to do better in the subject yet has difficulty in reaching most of his goals. He has made
marginal improvement in PSHE which is not sufficient. He has been irregular in attending classes which affected
his performance. He hardly submits any assignments. He did not submit both of his summative assessments
despite having been reminded. He needs to recall physical and health education factual, procedural and conceptual
knowledge. He has applied physical and health-related terminologies to communicate understanding with limited
success. He needs to make sure he puts just as much effort into the theory aspects also as he finds the theory side
of the curriculum more challenging which has negatively affected his overall grade for this term. Overall, Abeer will
have to apply a greater degree of effort and determination if he wishes to improve in PSHE. With our collaborative
support and guidance, I am sure he will be able to fill all the gaps and come up as a confident student in the next
term.

Comments:
This Term of Design allows us to explore the approach to the MYP Design Cycle. Students focused on identifying
every step within the four criteria (A: Inquiring and Analysing, B: Developing Ideas, C: Creating the Solution, D:
Evaluating). They executed these steps using class activities such as class discussions, group and individual work,
and project submissions. The Process Journal is an essential document in the Design subject. Students collected
their notes, posted the outcomes of class activities, reflected on the effectiveness of their learning process, and
placed images of rough sketches, work-in-progress, final prototypes, and designed evaluation and testing methods.

MYP-2 students focused on creating a prototype of a Modular Furniture for Interior Design. The students conducted
thorough research on types of modular furniture and use, evolution in the furniture industry over the decade, and
brainstormed ideas using mind maps, and sketches. Students evaluated their work using different parameters,
learned to use Google Sketchup for creating their prototypes, and tested their products using different testing
strategies. The main unit objective of this term was to demonstrate the application of their skills and knowledge
to pursue their personal interests after evaluating the scientific and technical constraints that are associated with
interior design.

Throughout the Term, Abeer tried to meet the expectations of the Design course. Unfortunately, we did not see much
of Abeer’s involvement in the classes, and there were many challenges that Abeer was not able to overcome. We
would like to highlight these issues in the report. Being a communicative student, Abeer could have pushed himself
harder in recording his explanations, which would have helped him in timely submissions too. Abeer constantly faced
issues with submitting his work on time and found difficulty staying focused in the class. We would love to see Abeer

overcome the disciplinary challenges, as he is capable of meeting a higher achievement level.

Abeer shows some understanding of Criteria-C, Creating the Solution. He takes a minimum interest in rough
sketches and Furniture Design. However, there are many areas for improvement. These include focusing more on
Criteria-B, Developing ideas. Based on this Term, it seems like Abeer was not that interested in the subject of Design.
Nevertheless, we believe had Abeer accepted the teachers’ guidance, Abeer could have produced more evidence
of effective development in the said objectives, especially given the differentiation by concept and product that we
have provided. The constant irregularity in submission and attendance directly impacts the results of the child in
class. Due to missed deadlines, it is challenging for Abeer to timely analyse our feedback and keep up with the pace
of the class. We would suggest Abeer be more active in the class discussion and submit his work on time.

Abeer's Final Prototype of the Modular Furniture failed to include the requirements and specifications. The Process
Journal lacks coherency in design processes, and it misses a few essential points such as details in Design
Specification and 3D Model Drawing of the prototype. Without submitting the Process Journal throughout the Term,
the student cannot be awarded a mark higher than 4 points in the selected criteria. We wish Abeer starts applying
diligent efforts and focus on his timely task completion and submissions.

We hope Abeer and his family have a wonderful summer break, and we look forward to seeing Abeer in the Next
Academic Year.
