Greetings 2nd Term!- Meral- AEP 10- Blog 1

This second semester in AEP class commenced with Squardle– one of the most frequently played warm-up games in our class for good reasons. We ended up with 50 out of 79 words, 11 of which were already pre-filled by another grade level. As always, Squardle was an exciting morning exercise, a mental stretch that primed us for the day ahead. 

In addition, Kirani, a new student, was welcomed to our AEP class. After previously convincing her on the wonders of AEP, she decided to settle in. Yay! I hope she feels welcomed and has adjusted to the way things go around here <33.

As Squardle went on for the majority of the period, Miss Disa distributed our finals, consisting of the two essays we had each written. Although I’m satisfied with my score, there are improvements I’ll try to implement for my future essays this semester. 

The following day, I was absent because I had pulled a late nighter without coffee, whilst completing an English assignment. For these reasons, I overslept that morning, missing the two periods of AEP, but luckily, I was able to catch up swiftly. Apparently, they worked on writing an essay about two process diagrams on the generation of electricity from wave power.

The week after, we started class with the usual Squardle. Upon completing the 62 words in several minutes, we spent the remaining time completing the essay from the previous week. In the meantime, I jotted down the key points and a simple overview to work on the full composition of the essay after classes.

The next day, Contexto took the stage with “mind” as the word of the day, sparking a flurry of guesses, passing over the 50- guess mark. We then worked on the final essay of the process diagrams, illustrating the generation of electricity from wave power. Now that I have received my essay back, I’m happy to report a 95%, which is by far the best score I’ve received. With that, we ended AEP class with three consecutive Quordle games.

Just as the earlier weeks in AEP, this one too concludes with a sentiment of achievement and room for improvement. As the second term unfurls, it’s a canvas of endless possibilities, awaiting our inscriptions, beckoning us to colors of knowledge and experiences in AEP.

Thank you for reading this and I’m hoping to see you in the next one!

Signing off,

Meral

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...
