Blog 3.3 - The end? Already?


It's kind of crazy how this is my last grade 8 blog. 

Well, now I'm freed from procrastinating on these things! Woo! (heheheheh)

May 6th

Miss allotted us 15 minutes to solve a 68 (I think?) word squaredle. Surprisingly, we killed it. Although we weren't able to finish it within the time, Miss let gave us a bit more time due to how close we were. Good start to the week.

Next up, vocab quiz. Miss gave us several exercises to revise before the actual quiz. Somehow, I got my first word wrong, levity. That made me feel like leaping off a building. Fortunately Miss allowed me to revive myself by answering 2 more words, which I got correct. I am still immensely disappointed in myself for getting that wrong. Seriously? Levity? Are you stupid?

May 7th

Today was a game day! We played the game that we did a few weeks ago, but with a twist: It was individual, and the people who got the longest words would snag the point. The letters were selected by us. Miss would ask us for a vowel or a consonant, and whatever we said would be the letter. There were times where the consonants and vowels were very unbalanced (or maybe I'm just bad). I did tragically worse than I did before, getting a pitiable 1 point. Yeah this week was definitely not my week. Told you, I was never good at unscrambling-anagram type of things. 

Wow.. that's it? 

At the beginning of this school year I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy AEP8. In fact, in the first few weeks I was debating embracing my filipino blood. Alas, I stayed, and I am so very pleased with my decision. Although this year was really different compared to last year, Filiz left, the class expanded, I still didn't enjoy it any less. Entering each class is like breath of fresh air compared to the stress and pressure of the major academics. AEP is always bustling with life, be it in silly banter, challenging vocab quizzes, or competitive games. I am so grateful for having a subject like AEP, with a witty and clever teacher like Miss Disa. 

I'm going to think of this school year very dearly. I'm sure we all will.

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...

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)

Aleena Imran, Grade 8, Blog #3

 ✨ BLOG #3✨ This week was super interesting! In this week or specifically Monday I thought we were gonna have our vocabulary Quiz. But we didn’t, which made me somehow annoyed considering I studied all weekend, Thursday and Friday too for that, I guess that’s alright though. So on Monday we got grouped into two. One group was playing Scrabble and one was playing Griddle, both groups switched and played the other. Well, we can say that Mysha’s group won in Griddle, and Hyeono and Rayan won scrabble in my group. I could predict since Mysha’s is super good at English and i am, not that good at English. Next day, we also didn’t do the Vocabulary Quiz since we only had 1 Period. So, we answered our seatwork but on a real copy, it was basically a review to see if we had learned anything. It was okay, I was struggling a bit but I got the hang of it. That’s it, see you on the next blog!:)
