AEP Blog 1.5 yay

 Back with another short blog this time. Not much to talk about, it's only been a week since the last blog. But I do prefer these short blogs they're easier and more fun to write. 

On Monday we did some vocabulary work. Not a quiz. That was for Tuesday. We studied the words and defenitions in unit 4 during class instead of studying them at home like usual. Miss didn't want us to have more work since we already had to do our blog. And she also mentioned it seemed to work better and allow students to memorize the defenitions easier. I enjoy this way of doing this though. Everyone was assigned 2 to 3 words and given about 5 minutes to find the defenitions. Then we'd go one by one matching words to their defenitions in the test accesible through the same website we use for our vocabulary quizzes. Excited to do this again tommorrow!  

On tuesday we started off with our vocabulary quiz about the words we learnt on monday. I got all my words correct so hooray! Afterwards i assumed another essay was coming. But we actually decided to do something different. We were split into two groups. Girls versus boys. And we were to try and draw a graph based of an essay written by none other than the infamous IELTS Liz. I didn't think we'd get very close at first but both groups had a pretty acurrate graph. The boys got the win though because our chart was bigger and the trends were easier to see becuase of it. By now i thought surely it would be essay writing time but nope! Miss had another activity prepared for us. A rather fun one actually. I do hope we get to do it again sometime. Again we split into two groups. Girls versus boys yet again. And this time we played what i suppose could be described as "reverse pictionary"? Basically miss would give one group an abstract painting and that group would have to explain and describe the painting to the other group. And they would have to attempt to draw it on the smart board. We had around 15 minutes each. It was quite fun and suprisingly our paintings weren't that far off from the original. Woohoo!

Anyway that's it for this quick blog. See you again next week i assume!

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...
