Scrabble or Scramble?- Chloe Lloveras- Blog 4 T2- AEP 10


This week's AEP was definitely out of the ordinary even though I'd previously said that things were finally getting back to normal in my last blog. Ironic, right?

Starting on Monday, AEP class started quickly with "Waffle." Naboni had the pen (AKA the magic wand) and swiftly accomplished it with the help of class, which included Victoria! A welcome addition to the class who got the chance to jump in head-first with essay writing, which was yet again another version of the cement and concrete essay. Third time's the charm I guess! 

Writing the essay was definitely a lot faster than my previous versions. It's probably because my brain is so used to all of the information already that I can even picture it now as I type. Haha!

The next day started off as what I had thought was a catastrophe! I was late coming into class because of the elementary's field trip that day. Since I ride the school service van, I was one of the last ones to be picked up (along with the other people living nearby) because the elementary school is so close by. Panic settled inside my stomach and I felt like I was scrambling. 

I waited for over an hour for the bus to finally arrive and, when it did, it was already around 8:45 a.m. And after picking up several other people, we, at last, started heading towards the school's direction. I managed to arrive sometime around 9:00 a.m., which I was thankful for because we had 2 periods of AEP anyway. 

Out of breath, I raced up to the 4th floor and knocked before entering the classroom. To my surprise, I hadn't missed too much because the class was just about to start playing "Scrabble!" There were four teams: Naboni and Leo; Victoria and Shasmeen; Meral and Kirani; and Janek and Haziq. 

I joined Janek and Haziq this time. After taking about 5 turns, it was time to wrap things up. The board this time was definitely tight this time because no one wanted to expand the board. In fact, most of us kept blocking each other. Haha! It was fun overall to come up with words to fit inside each other and my favorite definitely had to be "decay." 

In the end, this week was surely a whirlwind of emotions. I honestly thought we were done with all of the surprises, but I guess you can never quite tell with AEP. Overall, the week was an interesting one. Winning the "Scrabble" match was a much appreciated bonus as well. Hehe! Till next time.

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.
