The Rules of The Game — Leo's Second Blog

What a perfectly fine day to complete the second blog of AEP!

Continuing our week, we made sure to cultivate a productive time for assignments and lectures. The first blog explained what I was expecting to encounter, and our expectations were basically fulfilled within the two classes. The rules of the game are simple. For instance:

1. We were introduced to two new warm-up wordle games that were named "Diffle" and "Evil Wordle". Diffle is quite fun, with us having to scour for a word with any length, it's impossible to be inerrant. Evil Wordle, on the other hand, was simple. A bit confusing, but different, nonetheless.

2. We had our first vocabulary quiz! We had to study 20 words and ready ourselves for the "Wheel of Doom". It was an immediate pick, so we'd have to stand and spin, and then explain the word. The word I got was 'opulent', fancy and ostentatiously lavish. I was successful in defining it and creating an example. We'll have this weekly, with different sets of 20 words, all packed and ready to go into our barren void that we call our "lexis"!

3. We continued doing essay work! Our essays are generally short; however, we have to make sure our lexis is able to sustain a high level. For now, we began learning and practicing how to paraphrase the essay's prompt and form it into something brand new but keeping the meaning of the original context.

4. There was an article from DOGO News that we had read aloud. It was about how hammerhead sharks can last in the deep oceans because of their evolutionary physique. Of course, we had a good time.

Not much can be said other than the week was a struggle to get by. Homeworks, seatworks, a seatwork that was practically a project with an available time of 3 days, 4 different quiz announcements and many others had just rained on me like a typhoon and a hailstorm combined. If this is what grade 10 is about, then I'm in for the biggest treat ever!

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...

yet another blog for this week

 yet again we do the thing where we type what we remember about the stuff that happened this week. So, there's not much tbh, there isn't much going on other than I picked up EP again since I think I'm suffering withdrawal with notoriety getting taken down and I'm cooking some video I made with someone showcasing some stupid shenanigans. So yeah is fine cruising so far (but so far)

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...
