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!

And So It Begins...- Chloe Lloveras- Blog 3 T3- AEP 10

  Maps have become my new enemy. I know this may sound dramatic, but I really just can't seem to like them. As an artist who loves anything related to colors and drawings, you'd think a map of all things would be right up my alley, but you'd definitely be wrong. The feeling of facing your adversary is like no other- this desperate thirst to defeat them, dying to be quenched. And so it begins... The day before the exam, we played "Squardle," but the joy it gave us upon completion was short-lived as it was replaced by the impending atmosphere of doom looming above us. I felt a pit in my stomach when I walked into the classroom the next morning. But I was prepared...or so I had thought. I only managed to score 87%, which in reality was actually a 77% because Miss Disa added 10 points to help bump up our grades. I barely passed really, but that doesn't matter now. When I had finished taking the exam, all I could think of was that it was finally over. I could relax...

AEP- Blog 3.3

 Hello hello hello there! We meet again, for one. last. blog.  Woah, it has been a ride hasn't it. A year sure does go by fast. It seriously felt not that long ago that I had written my first blog of the year. Definitely did not feel like 9 whole months. Reading said blog made realize now that I had nothing to worry about after all. That I have been proven wrong about not having fun in AEP. Sure, the work has gotten a lot tougher and was doubled to what we had last year. But hey, we're in G8 now and that's to be expected, AEP or not. And we still managed to play word games, some old, some new, and challenged ourselves in the best way possible. The seatworks we had DEFINITELY challenged me this year. But I wouldn't say all of them were so bad, only some. I really enjoyed the vocab quizzes. It really did help expand my vocabulary, and now whenever I read a book and encounter a word from one of the quizzes, I get all excited cause I know what it means now. I feel a bit sad...
