AEP- Blog #5

 HELLO AND WELCOME BACK TO MY BLOG!!!!

Let's recap on what happened this week:

On our first AEP lesson of the week, we had started off with Squaredle, with the goal of  naming 74 words from the square of letters. We had until the end of the first period to do this. Unfortunately, we did not achieve that goal therefore not being able to earn 7 merits from Ms Disa :((((

 For the second period, Ms gave us a seatwork. For our first activity, it was groupwork, we simply had to count the number of words in the given sentences. This was quite easy and simple so my group and I had no issues in answering this activity. The second one was individual work, wherein we had to answer a question in 3 words or less. I'll admit I had a bit of difficulty in doing this one, not knowing how to sum up a good answer in 3 words. But eventually, after realizing my answer doesn't necessarily have to be the truth, I got the hang of it and was able to do the other questions with not much difficulty. For the 3rd and final activity, we had to do it in our groups again,  we were given phrases and a passage, and we had to rearrange the phrases  by numbering them to when it comes up in the passage. This was quite a challenge too, and not just for us, but for the other groups too. When we had given our answer to Ms Disa, she had said it wasn't correct. Unfortunately, we were not able to be the first ones to get the correct answer. But I still liked the activity nevertheless. 

Out of the 3 things we did, I liked the first one best for it's simplicity and because it was the easiest for me :))))

On our second AEP lesson of the week, we started with squaredle, that was relatively easy considering it was only 23 words. A much smaller number than the previous game's. After that, we did our vocab quiz 4 and did it differently than how we did before. The quiz was now a last-man-standing situation. We all had to stand up from our seats and Ms would pick 2 of us to 'battle' each other by defining the word the wheel has picked for us. The loser between the 2 will sit down and the winner will battle another person.

As the game went on, we found that this system is quite flawed. After a while, Mysha got to battle me and neither of us got a word wrong (also, I was very relieved that Ms didn't make us create sentence with the words) so we ended up just taking over the whole round!!! In the next round, Aleena was the one who dominated, which made Ms Disa dub her the 'Queen of Vocab quiz' to which I took quite an offence too. Considering I too (and Mysha) didn't lose and didn't get a word wrong. But I dubbed myself as the Jester, so all was well in the end:))))

ALRIGHT that's it for this week, see ya!!!
