Blog 3.1 - Crafts and Speeches! [Izzah] Gr12

Crafts!

This lesson for AEP, we got to be more hands-on with our activities, instead of writing or reading anything we learned to be more practical, and that is, by learning how to tie knots into cute little keychains or a WEAPON. As well as making origami frogs have a tense competitive competition, the survival of the fittest frogs.

Tying a knot seems harder then most people think, you need to be very good with moving your fingers around a string, Hanis and Darren's fingers were literally blue doing the activity, and a lot of us struggled with keeping the baby in the string, it was hilarious to watch each other attempt at being patient. With a few anger issues popping out from a piece of string, it was surely a fun activity to complete despite the stress of our musical coming up. Hanis’s baby ball really turned out nicely, I wonder how she's so patient with it. In the end, it was just me smacking my defective ball on the table and on Nurin, very entertaining. 

Our next activity was frog origami, I was particularly excited about this one, I used to be obsessed with origami, especially miniature ones, cute delicate ones. Instead of making one, I made two, my frog no 1 Albert which was about the size of my palm, and frog no 2 jr, the size of the tip of my finger. We had a race, I raced against Ayse in the first round and I absolutely WRECKED HER, just kidding, I guess cause my frog was miniature which meant that I could leap higher cause of how light my frog was, the second person I ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED, was William. My frog is literally the one and only undisputed champion of all frogs despite how tiny it was, it would be fun to have a competition of all the winners from each grade

We also did speech reading, and I may say this has probably been the best app lesson we've done yet. Everyone had a great laugh to see each other possess ourselves into these iconic and influential people in the past. People who have shaped history changed lives eventually to what has become of the world to this day good or bad. I played the role of Elizabeth the 1st giving a speech to the English army as they set off to fight the Spanish. I wonder how hard it must have been for her to rule England as a woman. She really shows us how strength is not defined by our gender or sex but rather by how minds.

Short. Sweet. Simple! - Chloe Lloveras- Blog 1 T1- AEP10

      Back at it again! The new school year has begun and AEP along with it. But this year, it comes with a twist: a much more jam-packed schedule and more essay-writing. Did I mention that the vocabulary quizzes are back and that blogs will be more frequent now? No? Well, you're in for a treat!      We hadn't even met for the first session yet, but we were already juggling assessments like a syllabus quizlet, a "what's your English level?" test, and even a knowledge quiz about IELTS writing task one, something I haven't encountered before. When our first meeting did commence, it wasn't until a week later due to the heavy rainfall and strong winds so classes were canceled. As you might've guess, we were already behind and AEP hadn't even begun yet!  Before starting, Miss Disa established the basics for the new school year: 1. Every meeting will begin with a word game with a five-minute time limit. If we don't finish in time, we'll still mov...

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✨ This week was super interesting! In this week or specifically Monday I thought we were gonna have our vocabulary Quiz. But we didn’t, which made me somehow annoyed considering I studied all weekend, Thursday and Friday too for that, I guess that’s alright though. So on Monday we got grouped into two. One group was playing Scrabble and one was playing Griddle, both groups switched and played the other. Well, we can say that Mysha’s group won in Griddle, and Hyeono and Rayan won scrabble in my group. I could predict since Mysha’s is super good at English and i am, not that good at English. Next day, we also didn’t do the Vocabulary Quiz since we only had 1 Period. So, we answered our seatwork but on a real copy, it was basically a review to see if we had learned anything. It was okay, I was struggling a bit but I got the hang of it. That’s it, see you on the next blog!:)
