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!

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...
