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! 😄

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...

yet another blog for this week

 yet again we do the thing where we type what we remember about the stuff that happened this week. So, there's not much tbh, there isn't much going on other than I picked up EP again since I think I'm suffering withdrawal with notoriety getting taken down and I'm cooking some video I made with someone showcasing some stupid shenanigans. So yeah is fine cruising so far (but so far)

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...
