Trust the Process- Chloe Lloveras- Blog 1 T2- AEP 10

Back at it again! But this time, we’re better than ever before. And with a new face too! Kirani, welcome to AEP.

To ease back into the school schedule, we started off the day with “Squardle.” Oddly enough, Monday mornings in AEP have slowly started to become my favorite. We get really long “Squardle” problems - some over 75 words long! I find this exercise an engaging way to start off the week - one that brings the class together. In this specific case, we only managed to find 50 of the 79 words given. It was pretty tricky. But of course we can’t stay in “Squardle” forever (no matter how much we want to, so we proceeded to going over our Final exams). I got 90% of both of the essays - not too bad! But I hope this term will be better, especially since it’s going to be about process diagrams. Spoiler alert! 

The next day we returned with a lot of work on our plate. However, as always, we started with a warm-up, one I knew all too well: “Typeshift!” I haven’t seen this game in so long. I think the last time I played it was back in grade 7 or 8, back when we were still online. It took barely 2 minutes to accomplish. And just like that, we were whisked away into essay writing. 

I found writing about process diagrams a lot easier than graphs. It felt like something just clicked in my brain, like a view that had been obstructed by a fog that's slowly dissipating now. The picture's suddenly become clearer. I guess this perspective of mine makes sense as the curriculum at FIS is science-heavy. Here's the photo of our first process diagram exercise about utilizing hydropower to generate electricity from a man-made structure: 


As you can see, at first glance, it may seem complicated and confusing. But if you truly take the time to break it down into different steps and their components, like we did together as a class, it makes it 100 times easier. It also helps that we learned a similar concept to this in Physics class so I'm familiar with how it should run. I was a lot faster at writing this sample essay so I made 2 different versions. 

In the following week, we started off with "Contexto" and the word was "mind." It's so strange how it was related to "place," "dream," and "sleep," but I guess that's what happens when you play with AI. After that, I made another version of the essay upon hearing the sample one Miss Disa read out. This provided me with clarity at some key words like "flow," "receded," and even "ebbed," as Miss Disa proposed at one point. So, in total, I made 3 different essays about the same topic and I truly do think that each one was an improvement from the last one. But I guess only time will tell when I receive them back this week. 

To end off the session, we played "Quordle" with the extra time we had left. Thanks to a method that Janek proposed that uses almost all of the letters in the alphabet, we got to finish 3 games in no time. 

Overall, it was a very relaxing and fresh way to kick off Term 2. I'm excited for what this semester will hold and can't wait to dive in head-first!

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.
