Here we go again! 1st Blog for AEP in the new school year. AEP9 has officially become AEP10!
I'm quite excited for this new school year. We'll see how it goes. Alright then, where to begin? For starters, Miss Disa has come with a lot of new policies for the new year. The deadlines this year will play a bigger role now. If you submit on time, you are granted minutes of freedom! Meaning you can leave class early, not work, doze off, etc. by using your minutes of freedom. You get one minute for every submission that's on time. you can event collect and stock up on these minutes of freedom, however I believe that miss clarified that they will only be valid for 4 weeks(maybe shorter) so you don't go too crazy with power. Moving on from that, this year our warm up games will only last 5 minutes. No more period long warm up games. This years going to be a lot more productive and serious than last year. We'll be focusing on writing essays this year. Vocabulary quizzes are back as well! Both are bound to be helpful I could use quite a bit of improvement in my essay writing skills. Specially under short time constraints. Another new fun little thing we'll be doing this year is using little avatars drawn by ourselves to show how much progress we've made on our AEP assignments. We'll be moving them across different parts of a bulletin board that represent how much of our assignments we've completed. The first is "Yippee! I've started" and the last is "Done and Dusted". I think that's all of the new things added to AEP though I may have forgotten something.
Moving on from all that, I'll go over what we did in our first 2 weeks of school. So! The first week of school, we didn't have AEP as school on Monday was cancelled due to the typhoon and Tuesday we had the whole back to school program. Onto the second week of school! On the first day of AEP which was a single period, we just discussed the new things being added to the class and drew our little avatars to use for the bulletin board. We also did another new variation of wordle where you don't know how long your word is. The second day we wrote an essay describing what was shown bar chart so Miss could assess what level our essay writing skill is at and so that we could know what we have trouble with exactly. Afterwards we went over some simple ways to start an essay. it was a pretty helpful lesson. That's about all we've done so far so I guess I'll end my blog here. It was a rather short one but oh well. I'm excited to see how the school year will turn out. Stay tuned for the next blog! Off to reviewing the words for the vocabulary quiz!
