Ayse - Blog 1.2

 "Learning"

Good day readers! How are you doing? I personally feel great! I am in Coffee Bean vibing to beabadoobee's albums in shuffle on Spotify and typing down this blog! Here is Meral's perspective:



PS: wearing the cap and headphones allows me to focus more on my work and blocks distractions. I promise I'm not trying to be a mysterious person whatsoever.

The First Week

Enough on that. This blog will contain 4 meetings of AEP classes since we do vocabs one week and blogs the next week, basically in alternate. So... let me talk a little about last week. What exactly did we do last week? We started classes with Contexto, and we did pretty well to tell you the truth, one would think we created the game🤪 (jk). After the quick game, we summed up our rubrics from last week in about 10 minutes. Miss Disa then printed one for each of us and so did the presentations began. Shall I give a quick 'my favourite parts' of everyone's presentation for that week? Yes, I shall. 


Starting off with the first presenter, Nurin, she did a great job! I got to learn one or two new things about her. It certainly gave me a surprise to see her beautiful sketches, especially the Eiffel Tower, which she slayed btw! I want her to draw me one of those now. I also loved how she used images that she herself took, which gave me a better understanding of what she wanted to convey I believe. The next presenter was Izzah if my memory recalls correctly. Her presentation was also amazing! I already knew she was interested in art, but not to the extent that she wanted to have her own exhibit someday! Literally the number one fan of her paintings! Next was Anis. As always I aspire to be like her when it comes to speaking in public. She has this confidence that places the spotlight on her and only her while she speaks! And I believe the last presenter was Darren. I learned that he actually watches anime, which I was not expecting. Happy we have another weeb in the room! Yeah, that was all for that week. 

The Second Week

With multiple assessments due this week, it was honestly stress over stress. I had to present my new PowerPoint once again for AEP. I did not enter prepared, but I'm sure the outcome would not have been much different. I say this now that I saw how Miss Disa presented, I'll get to that part in a bit though. But first, we of course started with Contexto. How does this game even work? I don't get it, nor does anyone else. This time around leave being the creators of the game, we seemed like babies playing a game suited for adults because guess what, it took us exactly 81 guesses with 3 hints to get the word 'iron'🥲, which approximately took 15 minutes. Leaving that behind, we went ahead with the vocab test which brought me back to pre-pandemic days, where we would say 'Please spin the wheel, Miss Disa!'. The 22 words that we had to study beforehand were very complex, even Miss Disa did not know the majority of the words. Anyways, I think it went pretty well! 


Lastly, it was the last 3 presenters' turn and of course, Miss Disa's presentation, which everyone was looking forward to. Hanis was the first one to re-present her PowerPoint. She did well and came prepared, so I applaud her for that👏🏼. It was my turn next, I did mine really quick. I am definitely excited to improve my skills in this aspect! William went after me, I honestly loved the number of images he placed on each slide,  it certainly gave a WOW factor! And last but the least, Miss Disa, that long awaiting was finally over! 


When Miss started distributing papers that she collected from each run she went to over the years, I was amazed! She had so many of them. I could see her dedication and how much joy running has brought upon her. She started explaining her journey how it all started and how much she loves doing it. It was great to watch her smile and hear about her accomplishments! I also loved how every picture had a story behind it, it made me want to hear about each one of them. Listening to her, gave me an idea of how to do my future presentations. I hope I can reach my expectation! That'll be all for this blog! Thank you, dear readers~~

AEP BLOG 3.1 - Summer Rose S. Valdez

           The past couple weeks have been a whirlwind of maps and musicals, and it's quite fun.          March 5, 2025 - I Went on A Vacation...Somewhere      We began with a unique warmup this time.  By turns, we all had to say a new place on the map.  Each person has to retrace the steps of all the previous and so on.  I did not do well, but I didn't jot down notes of everyone's locations on my notebook anyway.  It was a memory game.  Afterwards, Miss taught us how one can remember things by remembering a place they visit often - by associating the different keywords with different objects or areas.     After that, we moved on to worksheets.  These worksheets involved maps and places and tenses.  For some reason, I forgot the difference between the past tenses.  Thankfully, though, I remembered what passive tense was.  Simple English fundamentals like types of...

Blog 3.1 - moving too fast? - huda g11

  From juggling multiple homework and exams to participating in the musical, parliament, varsity and maintaining a social life, the days seem to blur together in a relentless stream of busyness. It's easy to get caught up in the chaos and lose track of time, which left me constantly feeling like having to keep on picking myself up again to start the next new thing. Despite the chaotic nature of this school year, it's important to take a moment to pause and give ourselves a small break. I think that is where AEP comes in line. With the moderate pace of learning new vocabulary, which I have found to be very useful considering I've passed by many familiar vocabs as I go on with my studies ehehehe, AEP gives me a sense of pause to my hustling life with its conversation-filled lessons incorporated with productive discussions on the words as well as the inclusion of what I would see it as “old-style” learning. The idea of bringing back the usual norm before covid of ‘pen and pape...

i stopped counting the blogs at dis point

       Ah boy here we go again Another week, another blog about random stuff. Holy hell everything moves so fast that I feel like I could take a nap and suddenly miss 21 different events. it's a little odd when you get pulled out of your usual schedule and are forced to do a practice exam but like 'they' say: "practice makes perfect." also been rewatching RVB, kinda sad cuz Rooster Teeth decided in a Hail Mary attempt to earn some of that sweet moolah that they should make a large majority of their shows paywalled on yt and you have to use the inconsistent official Rooster Teeth website that is absolutely plagued with stunky add that no one wants. yeah more ads than YOUTUBE ,  AND THEY'RE ALL UNSKIBBABLE BECAUSE OF COURSE THEY ARE AND YOU GET 4 OF THEM EVERY EPISODE (some at the start and then some midroll ads). I know it is to push people to join their site and subscribe to FIRST but Oh ho hoh man... that is a level above despicable.
