Reflection 1 - Hong

First day of actual lessons for AEP in Grade 12, I did barely any of my blogs last year so I have almost no clue on how this works. We talked about time management, nothing too crazy, it was more like a place where most of us realised how crap our time management was. Like half the class basically had this massive issue regarding their time. I don't even know how some of the other students manage to pass while having a schedule so horrid.

It just started by us getting papers handed with an article regarding time management and how to improve yours. I happened to get the longest one out of spite which I skimmed through until I realised that about half of the whole paper was just a bunch of ads. I basically read through everything necessary just to notice the whole passage is about how the writer has this deep hatred for phones or something, so i just started drawing beards onto the picture of the author. There was a bit of yapping here and there but we were pretty much forced to shut up most of the time. Afterwards, everyone gave their insights on the topic one by one talking about how lame their lives are. Some just admitted to mostly sleeping and others talked about how they don't really care at all. I personally talked about my issue of procrastinating which I wanted to solve, that I wasn't able to solve, which is why I am writing my first reflection a day before the next AEP class. In all honestly, I never really considered time as a massive subject nor did I view it with gratitude, I will probably one day realise when I'm all wrinkly and old that this time I spent was really precious or something. Nevertheless, for now, I don't really care.

That's how the first session went. Regarding time management, I have attempted a few times to keep a proper schedule and use it throughout like a little nerd, but most of the time, my peculiar sleep schedule messed my schedule up basically causing everything to return to zero.

Aleena Imran - BLOG #3.2 - Grade 9

  I honestly cannot believe we are already halfway through the third term, it feels like we started it yesterday. This will be one of the last blogs we’ll be writing for the school year, which seems so crazy. As much as I’m not fond of writing blogs, it’s still a reminder that we shared our moments together in AEP.   March 5, 2025 -  An Off-Board Warmup? This warmup was unlike our other ones. We usually have our warmups on the board, such as Wordle, Hurdle or waffle. But this time, all we had on the board was a map. Everyone had to state one sentence about the two maps shown on the screen, but there was a plot twist, you had to remember what the previous person stated and add on to it. As more people stated their sentences, it only got difficult, it meant you had to remember more sentences, but in the correct order. I wasn’t able to remember the sentences in order, but I still enjoyed watching other students struggling to remember the sentences.  Later on, we g...

Abracadabra — Leo Blog 3.2

 This term, we've begun with a list of terms related to environment, ranging from the devastating crises happening around the globe to the lovely descriptions of catastrophes caused by man. While it's a very fun and a not-so content-heavy topic, it reminds us that we can't say ' abracadabra ' to felled trees and watch as they rise from the ashes of our ancestors. Well, it's a shame, really. Would've loved to see some of the forests and wildlife that existed before the world began pumping steam and breathing coal. The first thing we did when we got to the third term was pairing words to form collocations. There were a variety of them, 42 collocations to be exact, and we had to figure them out. Most were easy, words we knew were things like 'climate change' or 'heat wave', but some were new. 'Paddy farming', 'septic tanks' and other words were quite interesting. Unfortunately, I wasn't there for the AEP period the week after...

End and the start of term!

Helloooo everyone! Welcome with another blast! See, your favorite blogger is not late this time!!! And that is because it's just the start of another term, and the workload from school is quite light. Can you believe it's the last term already?? I am still in disbelief—only 2/3 of grade 11 is left, and then our final year of high school... I don't even want to think about it! We have learned a lot of things in AEP last term, including discovering new games and learning a lot more of Miss Disa's fun anecdotes. AEP this year has taught me a lot of technical terms as we have been getting lessons on very niche and specific topics. You know how a word appears a lot when you newly learn it? Now, due to my expansion of vocabulary, I started seeing the words I am learning everywhere, and that brings a bit of peace in me, as I think, well, I am learning something. We had worksheets on Healthcare, Crime and Punishment, Business, and Politics. My favorite among them was the health...
