The Countdown- Meral- AEP 10- Blog 2


Hello! It's been a while since my last blog post, and I'm thrilled to bring you to speed with the recent occurrences in AEP. So settle down and enjoy a run-through for these past few weeks! 

Let's kick things off with March 12th. Our class commenced with two engaging word games: Connections and Wordle. While the specifics elude me, I'm sure it was enjoyable! Following the games, we wrote our first ever essay on the theme of Maps. Specifically, we explored the evolution of Farmshire village through the lens of two distinct maps.

As it was my first essay, Miss Disa provided meticulous feedback, pinpointing areas for improvement. Notably, many of my errors stemmed from the misapplication of certain terms, such as "repurposed," within the given context. 

The subsequent week was abbreviated due to the Reading of Honors. Nonetheless, upon our return to AEP, we dove into a spirited round of Squardle, achieving an impressive tally of 65 words! Additionally, Miss returned our essays back, and by that time I knew essays were going to be a challenge. 

On March 19th, we were introduced to a new game called "hello wordl" which was pretty enjoyable. Afterward, we thoroughly reviewed the previous essay and made corrections to an article found online. It was quite informative and helpful and I also got to note down a list of vocabulary I could use for my next essays as well as some tips when writing an analysis on maps. Talking of which, we then redid our essays for the second time, resulting in discernible enhancements. 

March is done! We're now onto April 1, whereupon our return from the week-long break, and it's time for AEP! Miss asked each of us what we did during the break, and it was quite interesting and funny to hear the answers of my classmates. 

The one-week break was a delightful respite for me, allowing me the freedom to rise at any hour and spend my days as I pleased. I found myself not sleeping after sahoor (around 3:00am) and now mornings are my favorite things! You already know I'm counting down the days until summer break. In fact, there's around 22 days left to go! We ended the class with the sweet old Squardle. 

The next day, we begun class with the warm up game of Hurdle. Following that, Miss Disa showed us this site called "The fish doorbell". It's pretty cool actually- it's a live stream of aquatic life, wherein you ring a bell for every time you spot a fish. Currently, there are 363 viewers- and just now I think I saw a fish! 

After that, we embarked on yet another essay assignment, this time about the transformation of an island from its original state to a modernized resort destination. Personally, I found this essay a lot more interesting than the first one, mainly because the changes were apparent, making it somewhat simpler to articulate the information into words.

That'll be it for this blog. Thank you for reading this and I'm hoping to see you in the next one!

Signing off,
Meral

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...
