Productive Week! - [Blog 2 Naboni-AEP10]

Greetings, y'all! Surprised to see me back so quickly? Just like I've mentioned before, there will be more frequent blogs, each every week! So I will quickly take you through all the endeavors we did during the last week in AEP. Buckle up and let's get started!

We started the first class of the week with a warmup game, as usual; Diffle. As challenging diffle might have seemed along with the strict time limit, we have grown quite accustomed to it. After the warm-up, there was time for the dreaded vocab quiz. One by one went in front of the board and spun a wheel of words and had to state their meanings and use them in a sentence. Adrenaline rushed in me as the quiz began, and I desperately prayed not to forget what I studied. Luckily, my word was "guise" and I knew the answer. By the end of the quiz, most of us had passed with a high score!

After the quiz was over, we were given to write the same IELTS Task 1 essay on British students from our last meeting. This time, while I was answering I could think a lot smoother than before and my writing came out pretty organized! There is still a lot to improve on in my writing and I am pretty sure it can be achieved over time and practice

The next day AEP started with another intriguing warmup game; EvilWordle. The game deceives you about the placement of letters, making it difficult to get the correct answer. However, we were able to solve it quickly. Later, Miss Disa taught us how to improve our essay-writing skills by using the chunking method to paraphrase essay prompts. We learned that we can turn verbs into nouns by adding -ing to them. Overall, it was a productive day where we learned many new ways to start an essay. We still had some time left, so we proceeded to do oral on DOGONews. The article that we read was about hammerhead sharks and was quite fascinating. Did you know these sharks use their gills to stay warm in the cold, deep ocean? After reading the whole article 2 sentences per person, we went around stating one point from it.

Overall, I can say AEP is continuing just how I had expected. So much productive and fun as ever! Looking forward to the upcoming week.
Till the next vlog, Goodbye!

    by the way I think you can make NOUNS into VERBS by adding -ing.

IM THE MAP! - Janek - Blog 2 - T3 - AEP 10

Although maps have always held a peculiar charm for me, a fascination sparked during childhood by watching episodes of Dora the Explorer and her indispensable map, my relationship with them has evolved. Previously, a map was a guide to travelling to places, a tool for discovering new café locations on trips, or simply a way to marvel at rather weird corners of the globe. However, my recent academic assignments have altered my perception of maps, making them less of an object of intrigue and more a source of stress. Essays have made maps worse! Before, engaging with a map never entailed writing an essay. If my father discussed a historical map, I’d happily delve into a verbal explanation rather than penning an analysis. But now, as a student in an Advanced English Program, essays have become a standard expectation. Tackling these assignments has been a significant challenge, turning my once enjoyable encounters with maps into a draining task. It’s clear now that the essays, not my exhau...

Miss Disa is back! - AEP 10- BLOG#4- JANEK

Now that the exams have finally concluded and the stress has lifted, thanks to the break and the high AEP spirit, it seems inevitable that a blog post is in order! The past weeks have been some of the most unusual and unpredictable I've ever experienced in AEP. With a few new faces, Miss Disa's absence, and sudden activities, let's delve into the latest updates on AEP. A Sudden Disappearance? On January 7, just a day before AEP's classes resumed, I felt a sense of fear. Fear that I might have forgotten something, a feeling I often experience. Despite this, I had to enter the class with confidence. However, my expectations took an unexpected turn. Miss Disa was nowhere to be seen. She had apparently left for the UK, and has not yet arrived in the Philippines. This had left many of us  confused, yet simultaneously relieved. No work, no stress! All we had to do was sit in the Filipino class doing nothing. Initially, that's what we thought, until a notification popped u...

Nurin’s AEP Adventure (Term 3 #1)

Hey blog!!! Under some ciscumstances, I have relapsed into my old habits of procrascination and I’m really not proud of that :,) But that’s okay, I’m still in progress and of course I’m gonna have ups and downs. Embracing any chance to change myself for the better, always. Anyways, IT’S TERM 3 ALREADY?!?!? My my, time flies like a speed jet to space. I’m like a leap away from graduating and that thought scares me, in an exciting way. I cannot even imagine yet what the future holds for me and I’m eager to find out. For now, nothing much is going on except for preparations of the musical production on March 9th. So I’ve just been really busy with dance trainings and rehearsals here and there. Expectations are really high for the Grade 12 so we have to give it our best and perform to our fullest potential.  I have been putting off works in the last moments of previous term. I got my Cambridge exam result and it brought me back down to my dark pit, I never want to get out of there like...
