Alhamdulillah, I got another credit for my English homework! We were asked to analyse the opening sentences of a few thriller novels and explain what effect they have on the reader. This was actually a very interesting piece of work - it meant we could really go into depth of how different writing styles work.
Neither the actual task nor the credit is what I want to highlight, though. This is the comment that my English teacher wrote in response to my work. It’s one of the things that I especially value about how my teachers mark the students’ work - the effort they put into writing personalised comments for each piece of homework, regardless of what task it is or how well you do. They don't just simply put a grade and a single 'Well done' at the end. Like here, there is one paragraph’s worth of feedback for a single piece of work.
For me, it’s these individual comments that give me the drive to keep trying hard for each task. Those comments, as unimportant as they may seem, are proof that the teachers actually care about our work and want us to do the best that we can. A single grade just alienates the student…but taking the time to write in-depth about our strengths and weaknesses (plus congratulating us!) forms a closer bond between the teacher and student - something that all of us, not just at King Edward’s School, but anywhere, should value!
Motivated,
Omar Mukhtar
