Done, Done, and Done!- Chloe Lloveras- Blog 6 T1- AEP 10

 


Done, done, and done! We've been checking off a lot of things on our to-do lists lately. So much productivity! But since this is the last AEP blog for term 1, let's give it a proper send off, shall we?

On Monday, we played "Squardle," which we were surprised to find had a total of 73 words. Someone had already had a go at it and managed to find 15 words, meaning we only had to figure out the remaining 58. We spent about 10-20 minutes on this. Everyone was so enraptured to figure out more words that we just couldn't stop! And to be honest, I loved every second of it. "Squardle" is this fun class game that brings everyone together and gets us to let loose. 

But after the fun, of course, we moved on to the real agenda for the day: "DOGONews" articles. We hadn't read one in so long that we all figured it was high time to do one. This article in particular captured our interest as it was about Tigist Assefa winning a marathon supposedly thanks to her $500 shoes! I know, outrageous price, right? It's crazy to think that someone would pay that much for one-time-use shoes, but I guess there's a big market for them in the sports industry. There was a whole argument about how it can give a person an advantage (because of how light and efficient they are). Some people say that the marathons should be based on skill more, especially when most participants don't lead opulent lives. See what I did there? #VocabSkills! Haha! Meanwhile, others say that if you do have then money, then the shoes are only highlighting the players' skills a tad more. I can see why some people would be mad, but I honestly think that they're just too expensive for tons of people to actually buy them.

The next day, we started off with "Squardle" again, but this time it only had 22 words. Afterwards, we decided to study vocabulary that would be in the upcoming test. It seemed to help a lot of us last time so we figured that we'd do it again. I absolutely agree with this! Not only is it easier to do it together, it also saves time! Whenever I'd forget a word, I'd look at the person who said it and then remember the definition all of a sudden. Weird, but it works! 

This time, I got the words, "assent," meaning to show agreement or approval and "altruistic," which means to show disinterested or selfless concerns for the well-being of others. I'm most likely going to study the remaining 18 words after I finish this blog as the quiz is on Monday. Wish me luck! 

Anyways, continuing after the vocabulary review, we went over a new essay prompt. I can't say that it went extremely well because it was much harder than the last one we had (the one about sea animals). It showed us the number of hours teenagers spent doing specific activities between 2002-2007 in Chester.

There were just so many different lines and colors that it took my brain to process it all for a few minutes. Nonetheless, I did analyze it in the same way Miss Disa said to right after I'd finished writing, so I guess that's good. Other than that though, based on the feedback I received, some of my wordings were a bit confusing, but then again, so was the graph. Haha! 

Still, doing these essay writing prompts have proved to help. For example, just a few days ago we had a biology quiz and 2 of the questions were literally asking us how to describe 2 line graphs! It was so nice to finally use these skills in action! And I can proudly say that I got full marks for that part too! 😎

Overall though, this week was great! We got to finish a lot of stuff and ticked off many boxes on our checklist. I just hope the AEP Finals won't be too hard to complete. That pretty wraps up this week. Advance farewell, term 1!

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.
