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.

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...

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...

i stopped counting the blogs at dis point

       Ah boy here we go again Another week, another blog about random stuff. Holy hell everything moves so fast that I feel like I could take a nap and suddenly miss 21 different events. it's a little odd when you get pulled out of your usual schedule and are forced to do a practice exam but like 'they' say: "practice makes perfect." also been rewatching RVB, kinda sad cuz Rooster Teeth decided in a Hail Mary attempt to earn some of that sweet moolah that they should make a large majority of their shows paywalled on yt and you have to use the inconsistent official Rooster Teeth website that is absolutely plagued with stunky add that no one wants. yeah more ads than YOUTUBE ,  AND THEY'RE ALL UNSKIBBABLE BECAUSE OF COURSE THEY ARE AND YOU GET 4 OF THEM EVERY EPISODE (some at the start and then some midroll ads). I know it is to push people to join their site and subscribe to FIRST but Oh ho hoh man... that is a level above despicable.
