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.

IM THE MAP! - Janek - Blog 2 - T3 - AEP 10

Although maps have always held a peculiar charm for me, a fascination sparked during childhood by watching episodes of Dora the Explorer and her indispensable map, my relationship with them has evolved. Previously, a map was a guide to travelling to places, a tool for discovering new café locations on trips, or simply a way to marvel at rather weird corners of the globe. However, my recent academic assignments have altered my perception of maps, making them less of an object of intrigue and more a source of stress. Essays have made maps worse! Before, engaging with a map never entailed writing an essay. If my father discussed a historical map, I’d happily delve into a verbal explanation rather than penning an analysis. But now, as a student in an Advanced English Program, essays have become a standard expectation. Tackling these assignments has been a significant challenge, turning my once enjoyable encounters with maps into a draining task. It’s clear now that the essays, not my exhau...

Miss Disa is back! - AEP 10- BLOG#4- JANEK

Now that the exams have finally concluded and the stress has lifted, thanks to the break and the high AEP spirit, it seems inevitable that a blog post is in order! The past weeks have been some of the most unusual and unpredictable I've ever experienced in AEP. With a few new faces, Miss Disa's absence, and sudden activities, let's delve into the latest updates on AEP. A Sudden Disappearance? On January 7, just a day before AEP's classes resumed, I felt a sense of fear. Fear that I might have forgotten something, a feeling I often experience. Despite this, I had to enter the class with confidence. However, my expectations took an unexpected turn. Miss Disa was nowhere to be seen. She had apparently left for the UK, and has not yet arrived in the Philippines. This had left many of us  confused, yet simultaneously relieved. No work, no stress! All we had to do was sit in the Filipino class doing nothing. Initially, that's what we thought, until a notification popped u...

Nurin’s AEP Adventure (Term 3 #1)

Hey blog!!! Under some ciscumstances, I have relapsed into my old habits of procrascination and I’m really not proud of that :,) But that’s okay, I’m still in progress and of course I’m gonna have ups and downs. Embracing any chance to change myself for the better, always. Anyways, IT’S TERM 3 ALREADY?!?!? My my, time flies like a speed jet to space. I’m like a leap away from graduating and that thought scares me, in an exciting way. I cannot even imagine yet what the future holds for me and I’m eager to find out. For now, nothing much is going on except for preparations of the musical production on March 9th. So I’ve just been really busy with dance trainings and rehearsals here and there. Expectations are really high for the Grade 12 so we have to give it our best and perform to our fullest potential.  I have been putting off works in the last moments of previous term. I got my Cambridge exam result and it brought me back down to my dark pit, I never want to get out of there like...
