Aleena Imran - Grade 9 - BLOG 1.1

This is officially the first blog I’ll write for the new school year. It’s about time to get prepared for another year full of amazing memories and blogs too! It’s my third year writing blogs for aep, it all started from grade 7. At this point, I’ve mastered writing blogs. I wrote so many blogs over the years yet so why wouldn’t I think that? Even though it’s only the third week, we already have a piled up list of homework to do. Luckily, I managed to finish all of them without worrying about the deadline. Whoops, I got sidetracked.

Without further ado, let the blog begin!


Aug 07, 2024 - An article about cheese rolling?

As soon as our class started, we began with Squardle. This time we had to continue it, meaning all the easier words were done. We struggled to get ten words in the span of ten minutes, meaning we failed to get our merits that we were trying to work for. I do remember saying one word, which was “Tiara”. I'm even surprised I thought of anything due to my lack of energy and thinking .I kept on reminding everyone about how much time was remaining, slowly building suspense. Everyone was devastated when we lost.


Shortly after that loss, we went on DogoNews to read an article. I don’t think I’ve seen an article about cheese, a sport about cheese rolling. And that’s exactly why Ms Disa picked it, it was about cheese. We read the article the same old way, going around the class, each reading two sentences from the articles. Some people got sidetracked, so they were unfamiliar with where their sentences were. I knew right after reading articles, we would all state a fact from the article. As soon as I got my pen to write a fact, Ms Disa stopped me as she knew I would usually do that. After we all finished reading, we all told our facts, starting from hyeono. This meant I was the last one, the only thing I could do was repeat that one fact I had remembered in my mind.


We then received a worksheet, which was about paraphrasing. There were about nine questions that we had to answer. But this time we didn’t write on the worksheet, we wrote on our notebooks. It felt refreshing in some way to write in a new notebook. In the worksheet, you would have to choose a few words that you think can be changed for alternative words, the word “show” can be told as indicated, displayed or illustrated. But sometimes the synonyms we think of, don't exactly mean the same thing, which is what we call nuance, that we had to keep in mind. The worksheet itself was simple but it was a bit time consuming, but me and Summer finished right on time. When I was done, I was able to put my worksheet in my folder into the box, i felt some kind of joy in that. I think paraphrasing itself is a useful skill to learn as you can easily think of alternatives of words you're thinking of.

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,...

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...

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...
