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

And So It Begins...- Chloe Lloveras- Blog 3 T3- AEP 10

  Maps have become my new enemy. I know this may sound dramatic, but I really just can't seem to like them. As an artist who loves anything related to colors and drawings, you'd think a map of all things would be right up my alley, but you'd definitely be wrong. The feeling of facing your adversary is like no other- this desperate thirst to defeat them, dying to be quenched. And so it begins... The day before the exam, we played "Squardle," but the joy it gave us upon completion was short-lived as it was replaced by the impending atmosphere of doom looming above us. I felt a pit in my stomach when I walked into the classroom the next morning. But I was prepared...or so I had thought. I only managed to score 87%, which in reality was actually a 77% because Miss Disa added 10 points to help bump up our grades. I barely passed really, but that doesn't matter now. When I had finished taking the exam, all I could think of was that it was finally over. I could relax...

AEP- Blog 3.3

 Hello hello hello there! We meet again, for one. last. blog.  Woah, it has been a ride hasn't it. A year sure does go by fast. It seriously felt not that long ago that I had written my first blog of the year. Definitely did not feel like 9 whole months. Reading said blog made realize now that I had nothing to worry about after all. That I have been proven wrong about not having fun in AEP. Sure, the work has gotten a lot tougher and was doubled to what we had last year. But hey, we're in G8 now and that's to be expected, AEP or not. And we still managed to play word games, some old, some new, and challenged ourselves in the best way possible. The seatworks we had DEFINITELY challenged me this year. But I wouldn't say all of them were so bad, only some. I really enjoyed the vocab quizzes. It really did help expand my vocabulary, and now whenever I read a book and encounter a word from one of the quizzes, I get all excited cause I know what it means now. I feel a bit sad...
