change. - Janek - AEP10 - BLOG #6


The past week unfolded in an unexpected manner, catching many of us in class off guard. It was a departure from the routine, leaving us stunned, akin to the sensation of savoring a warm soup and then stepping out into the cold. This week brought about significant changes, the kind that demanded a momentary pause to absorb it all. Excitement surged within me, a sensation long absent. What were these changes, you might ask?

SQUAREDLE: THE NEW HURDLE

In every aspect, SQUARDLE emerged as the top contender, surpassing its predecessor, Hurdle. While Hurdle had enjoyed class favoritism for a considerable period, Squaredle now claimed the throne. Another wordle-based game, Squaredle proved more engaging than not only Hurdle but also other wordle games. Unlike its mundane counterparts, Squaredle delivered a refreshing gameplay experience, from which I derived genuine pleasure. Hurdle, reminiscent of childhood games, involved arranging letters to form specific words, a task ranging from four to nine letters. The introduction of Squaredle has alleviated the pressure of entering the AEP room, making mornings more enjoyable. It's a game that has injected vitality into my day, signaling that it's time to explore new avenues of enjoyment. Moving on and embracing change, it appears, can indeed be for the better.

DOGO NEWS MAKES A COMEBACK

While routine sessions can be pleasing, the monotony can become tiresome. Miss, adept at adapting to this, by changing various activities to keep things fresh, with DOGO news being a consistent favorite. In moments of extra time or when there's nothing else to do, DOGO becomes our go-to source for intriguing news. It never fails to captivate my attention with fascinating tales, such as female octopuses hurling rocks in aggression or the recent news of individuals using super shoes to break marathon records. Even in these seemingly trivial stories, DOGO manages to divert my mind from the stresses of remaining subjects and pending assignments, providing a comforting escape.

VOCAB IT IS I GUESS

Vocabulary practice stands out as one of the less stressful aspects of AEP. The recent change to adding practice sessions prove effective in accelerating our learning, and the advanced announcement of upcoming sessions reassures us about the time available for preparation. When Miss announces a vocabulary test, my heart maintains its steady rhythm, my eyes remain calm, and my overall demeanor stays collected. It's a relief to find myself less anxious about things beyond my control. A test involving just 20 words seems like a manageable challenge, and I express my gratitude to Miss for maintaining this approach.

ESSAYS ARE GETTING WORSE

The visual overload of bars, with their ups and downs, varied colors, and shading patterns, has strained my eyes. Despite the initial struggle, I pressed on, determined to decipher the prompt and produce the best possible output. The challenge peaked with a bar chart on the board, displaying disorderly bars without discernible patterns. Nevertheless, with a concerted effort, I managed to make sense of it. Giving up was never an option, and while the output may not have been perfect, completing it by the end of the period brought a sense of accomplishment.

In conclusion, another productive week unfolded, with tasks executed efficiently and laughter serving as our reward. The overall experience in AEP was delightful, and I look forward to what future terms have in store. Until next time, goodbye!

The "Queen of Vocab" - Blog 1.5 - Aire M.

Hello... to pretty much no one. Probably no one except Miss Disa reads these blogs, no matter how much effort I put into them. I really like writing these blogs, as they are my way of venting all my feelings and thoughts out into the void. With that being said, here's the blog :) Yeah, sorry for the short intro today. I'm feeling sleepy 😪   10/02/23 Today in AEP, we used the whole 5th period trying to complete Squaredle , and in the last 10 minutes, Miss told us we'd get 7 merits each if we finished. It didn't seem like a long way off, as we just had 14 words left. We didn't get the 7 merits, but we only had... 7 words left? Still pretty good. In the second period, Miss Disa explained how exams can trick you. Well, to be more specific, questions that, if you didn't read the instructions, you could get wrong. And those questions were very easy. All you had to do was read the instructions. But somehow, even the smartest people can get tricked. (Honestly, Summer,...

Peanuts!! - Blog 2.1 - Aire M.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the world of Blogger! I am your writer, Aire Marcellana, presenting to you a blog of quality writing, containing a girl's simple hopes and dreams. Hopes and dreams crushed knowing like 5 people reads these. I do still find fun in writing these, however, especially since I love to write. Our first few lessons in the 2nd term proved to be quite fun and entertaining to write about. I got a bit stressed on our first lesson, but all in all, a fantastic start to the new term. Reflecting on last term, although I did put effort into AEP, I didn't prioritize it as much as I should've, even if it is a minor subject. I am grateful I got a good grade, yet I have high hopes for the terms to come. 11/06/23 We started off our term 2 with some good old Squaredle . Grades 7, 9, and 10 have already paved the way to finishing the Squaredle by having already completed the easy words. With 63 out of 79 words settled, our class went on a journey to get all of th...

Short. Sweet. Simple! - Chloe Lloveras- Blog 1 T1- AEP10

      Back at it again! The new school year has begun and AEP along with it. But this year, it comes with a twist: a much more jam-packed schedule and more essay-writing. Did I mention that the vocabulary quizzes are back and that blogs will be more frequent now? No? Well, you're in for a treat!      We hadn't even met for the first session yet, but we were already juggling assessments like a syllabus quizlet, a "what's your English level?" test, and even a knowledge quiz about IELTS writing task one, something I haven't encountered before. When our first meeting did commence, it wasn't until a week later due to the heavy rainfall and strong winds so classes were canceled. As you might've guess, we were already behind and AEP hadn't even begun yet!  Before starting, Miss Disa established the basics for the new school year: 1. Every meeting will begin with a word game with a five-minute time limit. If we don't finish in time, we'll still mov...
