ARTS COMEBACK!?!?!? - AEP10 - Janek - BLOG#1 - TERM 3

Reflecting on the recent musicals and revisiting our Padlet, it might seem like we haven't accomplished much, but upon closer inspection, a plethora of new experiences have emerged. Let's delve into this blog to uncover the latest happenings!

Arts Comeback!

During one of our recent sessions, we immersed ourselves in the realm of creativity, where the intertwining of words and knots crafted an unparalleled experience.

On February 27th, our classroom, as usual, was ensnared in boredom. However, thanks to quick thinking from Miss Disa, we were engaged in an unexpected art activity that diverted our attention from impending finals. Each of us was provided with a knot to tie, and amidst my confusion, I found the process oddly refreshing. As I crafted my own "monkey fist" knot, I pondered its origin and stumbled upon its history as a weapon. While miss Disa initially viewed it as a decorative accessory, the revelation added a layer of intrigue to our activity.

Despite the potential for harm, I took in the opportunity to engage in artistic expression within our class. These moments reminded me of the fond memories from high school and even elementary art classes. I eagerly anticipate more artistic activities in the future!

Connection Addiction

"Connection addiction" has become a staple among AEP 10 students, and I, for one, embrace this addiction wholeheartedly. While addictions are typically frowned upon, the allure of word games like "Squaredle" and "Connections" provides a harmless thrill.

In "Connections," the challenge lies in organizing 16 words into four groups of four, based on associations or common characteristics. This game has quickly become a favorite warm-up activity, as it shifts the focus from finding individual words to identifying groupings. I eagerly anticipate each morning's opportunity to engage in this unique form of mental exercise. Hopefully, our class will continue to have priority access to these games—I wouldn't want any other grades stealing our fun!

MAPS!?!!?!

I had hoped that delving into map-based essays would offer a refreshing break from traditional essay writing. However, I soon discovered that navigating the intricacies of map descriptions posed its own set of challenges.

Maps essays, much like traditional essays, demand precise descriptions and structured analysis. To my surprise, they also require the comparison of two maps representing different periods or developments—an intimidating prospect for someone like me, who struggles with detailed descriptions and directions.

As we embark on this new term, I'm bracing myself for the challenges ahead. With the musicals behind us, I eagerly anticipate what our instructor has in store for us. My optimism remains high as we journey through the final term together. Until next time, my brothers and sisters! 😄

And So It Begins...- Chloe Lloveras- Blog 3 T3- AEP 10

  Maps have become my new enemy. I know this may sound dramatic, but I really just can't seem to like them. As an artist who loves anything related to colors and drawings, you'd think a map of all things would be right up my alley, but you'd definitely be wrong. The feeling of facing your adversary is like no other- this desperate thirst to defeat them, dying to be quenched. And so it begins... The day before the exam, we played "Squardle," but the joy it gave us upon completion was short-lived as it was replaced by the impending atmosphere of doom looming above us. I felt a pit in my stomach when I walked into the classroom the next morning. But I was prepared...or so I had thought. I only managed to score 87%, which in reality was actually a 77% because Miss Disa added 10 points to help bump up our grades. I barely passed really, but that doesn't matter now. When I had finished taking the exam, all I could think of was that it was finally over. I could relax...

AEP- Blog 3.3

 Hello hello hello there! We meet again, for one. last. blog.  Woah, it has been a ride hasn't it. A year sure does go by fast. It seriously felt not that long ago that I had written my first blog of the year. Definitely did not feel like 9 whole months. Reading said blog made realize now that I had nothing to worry about after all. That I have been proven wrong about not having fun in AEP. Sure, the work has gotten a lot tougher and was doubled to what we had last year. But hey, we're in G8 now and that's to be expected, AEP or not. And we still managed to play word games, some old, some new, and challenged ourselves in the best way possible. The seatworks we had DEFINITELY challenged me this year. But I wouldn't say all of them were so bad, only some. I really enjoyed the vocab quizzes. It really did help expand my vocabulary, and now whenever I read a book and encounter a word from one of the quizzes, I get all excited cause I know what it means now. I feel a bit sad...
