Any project-based learning can engage one in solving a

real-world problem or answering a complex question.

Here you get an opportunity to demonstrate your

knowledge and skills by creating a public product or

presentation for a real audience.

As a result, you develop deep content knowledge as well

as different life-skills like critical thinking, collaboration,

creativity, communication, leadership and so on. It can

give further power and value when you enjoy doing your

work. I am sure this ‘Making of a Newsletter’ project is to

keep the momentum going along the way by revisiting

your lesson.

As told before this project is to sum-up some of your best

activities and showcase your talent in front of a real

audience. So, prove yourselves. Good Luck!

I am truly honoured to have been selected as the Chief

Editor of this newsletter. Firstly, I would like to thank Jaya

ma’am for giving me and my classmates this opportunity to

showcase our talent and engage in some extracurriculars,

which helped us develop life skills. I am also proud to be

working with my classmates and the editorial team – Lyse,

Noor, Manogna and Benita, who helped me put this project

together. It would not have been possible without them.

I am delighted to present this newsletter – “Identity”, which

sums up some of our best activities and showcases our

talents. This newsletter is a compilation of our best works in

any form – visual art, diary entry, poster, poem, etc. which

gives a brief understanding in relation to the chapter “The

Last Lesson” and is also related to the theme of this

newsletter “Identity”.

I hope this newsletter gives a better understanding of the

chapter and the importance of language and identity and

makes us hold on to the values that we have learnt from this

chapter.

“Vive La France!” is what he wrote With a piece of chalk on the black board At first he stood up tall Then he stopped leaning his head against the wall Without a word, he dismissed us all I knew we all wanted to laugh and cry He made his exit with not a sigh, I always thought I had more time to spare But now I see, I face despair I thought about how he spoke of French How it was beautiful logical and clear He said that we must guard it among ourselves And never forget in blood it dwells, As when people are enslaved, As long they hold fast to their language It is as if they had the key to their prison.

Mother Language-Our Identity

Never be ashamed of your native language

Say those beautiful

Phrases and words

Loud and proud.

Do not let anyone stop you from speaking

Let your voice be

Heard and recognized

Don't you dare let anybody make fun of your accent

Embrace the thickness

Don't ever lose grasp of it.

Hold on to your mother tongue

As tight as you can

Because this new country you now live in

Will do its very best to change your identity

And oppress your culture.

Your mother language is beautifully created

Who am I?

Identity as explorer,

As an Eagle with a powerful spread,

Or as a sparrow, budding delicate, stirring tenderness in others.

Identity as a mother, as a single flame mark in the 4 am quiet, under a

done, encased in creativity and loneliness, identity as drink, poverty,

excessive cash flow or beauty beside the grave of the visibly mediocre

At the end

Who am I? Hessa Faisal

🅸🅳🅴🅽🆃🅸🆃🆈 What do you hear when I say my name? Do you look for the ring of my religion or my birthplace? What do you see when you look at me? Is it the color of my skin or the status I hold? What makes me who I am? My background, kin, or my assets? When you ask for my name, you ask for my story. When you ignore it, I become another faceless member of the crowd. My thoughts are unique, and my experiences are worthy. My identity is far more than where I am from.

My true identity lies in what I want and where I am going. For my ambition is my identity, My beliefs are my identity, And my strength is my identity.

Identity

an uncontrollable volcano

claiming the land of your chest

between your breasts

an exploding heart

anxious but rising with heat and fire

it’s so fierce inside you

but it’s so alive inside you

it’s so rampant with rapture

be fearless in the chaos

it is the divine warmth of passion

it is the wild beauty within you
