Name: Zack Choi
Year: First year
Lesson(s): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Lesson 1
Zack was always fascinated by astronomy because it all seemed so fascinating, like the sky above you was so shaped that you wanted to learn as much as possible about it and also had the opportunity to take a closer look. He settled into the classroom, took out his notes and waited for the professor to start the lesson. He didn't have to wait long, the lesson started and he wrote down everything the professor said, because it would all be useful at the end of the year. Then they were given an assignment to complete. At first it was difficult to choose one of their favorite books, but in the end they figured it out and then, having completed the assignment, they took it to the professor and returned to get their things, said goodbye and left the classroom.

Name: Zack Choi
Favorite Book: J. R. R. Tolkien "The Hobbit"
What do you hope to learn about astronomy? Learn as much as possible about the stars, planets, and the sky as a whole.

Lesson 2
With great interest, Zack went to the second astronomy lesson, which was sure to be interesting and exciting, because in it they would definitely learn about how the sky is made. He settled down on a bench, then took out his notes. After a few minutes, the professor started the lesson. First about technology, then about the brightest object in the sky, the sun, then about the stars. He tried to write down everything that was said so as not to miss anything. Of course, then the story about the brightest star Sirius and the other stars followed. By the end of the class, he had written about three pages, because he knew for sure that it would all be useful. As soon as the class was over, Zack packed his things in his bag, said goodbye to the professor, and left the classroom.

Lesson 3
Time flew by quickly, and it was already the third lesson. Zack sat down on the bench as usual, like the first two lessons, and then he started taking notes when the professor started the lesson. This time the story continued about the constellations Liara, Vega, and Pegasus, and this time he tried to sketch a little of what they look like, but it didn't turn out very well, but still. By the end of the lesson, he had managed to write down three and a half pages of notes. Then he could leave, Zack said goodbye and, walking out of the classroom, thought about the topic of this lesson.

Lesson 4
This time, Zack was one of the first to arrive in class. He had to wait until the others arrived, and then the professor started the lesson. This time, it was too late. This was what Zack was waiting for more. He listened to this with great interest, so when the question was asked he knew the answer, so he raised his hand and answered. "The earth rotates, so it moves like the sun. More precisely, the sun rotates around the earth." he refused, then lowered his hand. Then he continued to write down everything that the professor said. Then, unfortunately, the lesson ended, which made him a little sad, because there were only two lessons left. As soon as they were free, Zack said goodbye to the professor and left the classroom.

Lesson 5
Before the last lesson, unfortunately, it had come. Zack settled in the classroom, then he was already waiting for the lesson to begin. He didn't have to wait long. At first, they wrote down celestial objects and bodies, every word that was said was written down. Then, by the end of the lesson, they could look at the sky. He could see the Southern Cross, the North Star, and the Little Dipper through the telescope. He watched everything carefully so he knew where to look for them next time. Then the lesson was over, he packed his things, said goodbye, and left the classroom.

Lesson 6
The last lesson was here. It was a little sad, but Zack settled into class. Today was review day, so he took out his notes and read them until the end of the lesson. When he could leave, he said goodbye and left the classroom, wondering what to expect on the exam.

 

[Priyanka Bakshi]

Name: Priyanka Bakshi
Year: Second year
Lesson(s): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6


Lesson 1
Priyanka had already liked astronomy even more in her first year. She tried to delve into it even more, so she couldn't wait to learn something new. She settled into the remaining space in the classroom, took out her previous notes from her bag, but also prepared new ones in case the old one didn't have enough space this year. She only had to wait a few minutes for the professor to start the lesson. Priya wrote down every word the professor said, what was expected this year. It seemed that this year would be even more interesting than last year. By the end of the lesson, she had written down quite a lot, but then the lesson was about to end, but the professor gave her a small task.

It was quite easy, it only took her a few seconds. Having written it down very quickly, Priya took it to the professor, said goodbye and, taking her things, left the classroom.

Spoiler: Homework

Name: Priyanka Bakshi
House and Year: Ravenclaw and Second Year
Tell me two things you remember learning about in astronomy last year.
I remember that we learned a lot about constellations, celestial objects. About the earth and the sun, about Pegasus, Vega, Sirius.

Lesson 2
Priya was the first in the astronomy class, waiting for the others to gather so that the lesson could start sooner. She had to wait a few minutes or more, but she didn't look at her watch, but while she waited she read her notes. Then soon everyone gathered and the professor began the lesson. Today's topic was the sun. Everything was written down, important and unimportant things, because you couldn't know what would be useful in the exam. She listened carefully and took notes until the end of the lesson. As soon as the lesson ended, Priya packed her bag, said goodbye to the professor, and then left.

Lesson 3
The third lesson came so quickly that Priyanka didn't even notice. All week she had been watching the sun, as much as she could see in winter. However, today's topic was even more interesting as soon as the professor started the lesson, this time she listened with great interest, not taking her eyes off the professor, and the pen just kept sliding over the notes. By the end of the lesson, quite a lot had been written down that she didn't remember that she had to write so much. The lesson ended incredibly, then all that remained was to say goodbye and thank you for the cool lesson, and go to the next one.

Lesson 4
Priya was a little late, but she made it to the fourth lesson, which was a continuation of the planets from the previous time, which was continued where the notes had started. Everything was written down, Priyanka listened carefully, because it all seemed interesting and exciting, that she wanted to know everything. Her hand was already starting to hurt a little from writing, but she had to know it, because it would all come in handy. At the end of the lesson she was a little tired, she didn't even have the strength to do anything, she just wanted to go to sleep. A quiet goodbye, which was accompanied by a yawn, and then she left the classroom.

Lesson 5

The fifth lesson was here and that meant another one, then the exam. Priyanka was already sitting in the classroom waiting for the lesson when it started and the topic was asteroids. They seemed like one complicated thing, but she saw that everything would be clearer in this lesson. She caught every word that the professor said about them and the topic became a little clearer, and by the end of the lesson, they became clearer about them. This time too, everything was written down, because it would be very useful in the exam. By the end of the lesson, she had learned a lot of new things and also became clearer about asteroids. She said goodbye to the professor as soon as they were free, took her things and left the classroom.

Lesson 6
Priyanka settled into the classroom, even though she knew there would be nothing new, but she would just have to repeat everything she had learned while studying for the exam. She took out her notes, old and new, from her bag. She had to start new notes, where she had to write everything down. Until the end of the lesson, she sat quietly on the bench and reread her notes several times, but when she could leave, she said goodbye to the professor and left to continue studying.
