New Term, New Face!! [Humaira Rahid Naboni;Term-2, Blog-1]

Hello Everyone! Welcome to the first blog of Term 2!

It's the start of another term and AEP has to introduce us to a new topic! But hey, before that, there is a new AEP member now! Kirani!! She joined FIS just in the 2nd Term and on her first day, she was thrown into the decision to choose between AEP and Filipino. I sort of used some advertising skills (learned in English) to persuade our new friend, Kirani, to join our beloved AEP class. Being an Indonesian girl, I am pretty much sure she would have joined AEP anyway but I would love to think my advertising did some help! I am happy to say that she is now a part of our AEP class

Now let's go through all the classes we had so far. On the very first day, it was Monday morning and our warm-up game was Squaredle. Miss Disa gave Kirani the rein over the magic pen. If I were her I would freak out at such responsibility on the very first day, given that, forming the words in Squardle can be quite a challenge. She pulled off the magic pen quite well though! There were 79 words to be formed on that day, but we managed to find out only 50. Later on, we also got our final paperback. The score I got is somewhat satisfactory for me, but I hope to do better this term. 

On the second day, the class had a new Warm-up game which I unfortunately had missed for being late. When I entered the class in a rush, I saw Miss already starting a new topic on the board. I soon found out that we were learning another form of Essay Writing; this time we had to describe processed diagrams instead of bar charts. First, miss taught us the structure of the Essay which I found pretty similar to the bar chart one. Later on, Miss showed us the first ever question that I encountered of the process diagram. It was two diagrams of a structure that generates electricity by utilizing wave power.  I think, at first glance, the diagram was not that hard for me to comprehend as it just showed some flow of the elements(water and air) that caused the mechanical process. Miss then told us to write the first part of the essay. After a while, when we all were done we around the room to hear each of our paraphrasing prompts. I think Miss told us mine was somewhat okay.

The following week, Miss Disa asked me to choose a warm-up game. My mouth immediately blabbed out Contexto as for some reason this is the first game that always comes to my mind. The word of the day was "mind". Of course, it took us a while to find it out as AI managed to confuse us by providing wild scores. Later on,on the next day, Miss Disa read us a perfect version of an essay on the processed diagram that we had encountered in the last class. I managed to scribble down some notes, especially vocab while Miss Disa recited it. Then we were asked to write the essay once again. This essay came out so much better than the other ones I wrote. I hope I receive a good grade.

When we were done, we had some spare time left. At that time, we played several rounds of Quardle with the method of Janek's that cancels out almost all the letters.

That was all for the week. I am excited to see what will happen next in AEP. I will keep you updated!;)

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...
