AEP BLOG 5 - Summer Rose S. Valdez

 

        Because there has been a long period of time wherein we did not write blogs, I nearly missed this one.  Thankfully, I remembered about it whilst going home from the tiring, yet exciting cat show we participated in.  I am now writing this blog in a panic, but at least I get to recall what I have learned from the previous week.


       October 2 - Valuable Test-Taking Skills

    I have always thought that one of the most vital parts of having excellent grades is possessing good test-taking skills.  After all, tests, especially exams, make up most of your grade.  For the entirety of the first period, we have struggled with Squaredle, often bumping into roadblocks where we can not think of any more words.  I am well aware that we have not fully mastered this game yet.  Although I miss the games where we easily win in, watching us as a class improve at something we are not good at is very inspiring.  


    The second lesson was informative and I have learned valuable tips for answering exams.   We learned about how English exams are structured and how to answer specific types of questions.  I was quite surprised to learn that the answers of the questions are most likely to be arranged in chronological order.  I knew that I could use this information in the future for sure.


        October 3 - A Chaotic Vocab Quiz


    I was very pleased that we managed to beat a Squaredle game.  As fun as that was, I found what we did next even more enjoyable.  It was finally time for another vocabulary quiz!  Although this time, it was very different.  


    Instead of being called individually, two people had to face each other off and answer one word at a time until one of them got something wrong.  I enjoyed watching my classmates trying to outdo each other whilst under immense pressure.  The newly created system for this quiz was definitely not perfect.  The people who were capable would have very long turns, as they would not get anything wrong.  On top of that, if both contestants got their words wrong, it could become a never-ending cycle of them answering/skipping words until one of them got something right. 


    The system for that vocabulary quiz was rigged and had plenty of loopholes.  Despite that, it was very enjoyable for me.  Perhaps, the imperfections is what made it enjoyable!  The chaotic, unorganized energy is something I never knew I would enjoy so much, but here I am.  Sometimes, it just takes one experience to change your perception of something.


    Thank you!

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.
