AEP BLOG #3.2 - Summer Rose S. Valdez

 



        With the month of March left behind us and a week-long "break", we immediately delve into the class of AEP.  To be entirely honest with you, the break did not provide nearly enough rest it should have.  As usual.  The following lessons of AEP were intriguing to say the least and have introduced my classmates and I new challenges and fish.


April 1 - Fun with Fish

        It was an unusual day for sure.  One of the reasons as to why is that I figured out the word for our Hurdle warmup game.  Usually, I can only solve these types of games at home where the school air does not fry my vocabulary skills.  It was a personal accomplishment that seems trivial to most.


        This day's seatwork was mind-bending.  True, False, or Not Given??  How am I supposed to know?  It was much different than the usual AEP seatwork.  The extracts were shorter and Miss Disa occasionally only allotted us three minutes to solve a question.  It was not easy.  But as we answered more questions, I slowly grasped the topic more.


        Moving on from the seatwork that completely racked our minds, we started reading DOGOnews.  It was about the Fish Doorbell that was made to assist fish.  Shortly after, we opened the website ourselves.  I could feel the tension in the room waiting for a fish to come.  Time went by and none were spotted.  But after a while, I saw a sliver of silver swim past the camera.  Fish.  Finally.  A bunch of my male classmates noticed this, and Miss Disa did not believe them.  It was fun.



April 2 - True, False, and What??

        Deluxe Waffle was great.  Moving on.  Once again, we now stand face-to-face with our mutual mortal enemy.  Or three enemies.  True, false, and not given.  I actually found it a bit easier this time after all that practice.  It is not a concept we have fully understood yet, but maybe, someday, we will.


        


        The things we have learnt this week were difficult for sure.  But a part of me finds it refreshing - trying something that was different and more challenging.  Learning is the point of going to school after all, so much thanks to AEP for providing us with knowledge and skills we haven't acquired in previous years.

Peanuts!! - Blog 2.1 - Aire M.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the world of Blogger! I am your writer, Aire Marcellana, presenting to you a blog of quality writing, containing a girl's simple hopes and dreams. Hopes and dreams crushed knowing like 5 people reads these. I do still find fun in writing these, however, especially since I love to write. Our first few lessons in the 2nd term proved to be quite fun and entertaining to write about. I got a bit stressed on our first lesson, but all in all, a fantastic start to the new term. Reflecting on last term, although I did put effort into AEP, I didn't prioritize it as much as I should've, even if it is a minor subject. I am grateful I got a good grade, yet I have high hopes for the terms to come. 11/06/23 We started off our term 2 with some good old Squaredle . Grades 7, 9, and 10 have already paved the way to finishing the Squaredle by having already completed the easy words. With 63 out of 79 words settled, our class went on a journey to get all of th...

The "Queen of Vocab" - Blog 1.5 - Aire M.

Hello... to pretty much no one. Probably no one except Miss Disa reads these blogs, no matter how much effort I put into them. I really like writing these blogs, as they are my way of venting all my feelings and thoughts out into the void. With that being said, here's the blog :) Yeah, sorry for the short intro today. I'm feeling sleepy 😪   10/02/23 Today in AEP, we used the whole 5th period trying to complete Squaredle , and in the last 10 minutes, Miss told us we'd get 7 merits each if we finished. It didn't seem like a long way off, as we just had 14 words left. We didn't get the 7 merits, but we only had... 7 words left? Still pretty good. In the second period, Miss Disa explained how exams can trick you. Well, to be more specific, questions that, if you didn't read the instructions, you could get wrong. And those questions were very easy. All you had to do was read the instructions. But somehow, even the smartest people can get tricked. (Honestly, Summer,...

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...
