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.

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.
