Reflection 1 — SEM 1 — Adi

We are back to another year of AEP!!!!

I would like to recap a bit on what happened over the summer. Overall... pretty much nothing. I went to the mountains in Atok and stopped by Batangas for a small day trip but that was most of what I did. I spent my summer at home, sleeping, drawing, writing. Not much excitement there.

Being in Grade 12, it's not that much different from how it was in Grade 11. It feels a bit more relaxed now, somehow, since every lesson is limited to only one for each session and we're only discussing about one thing for every class now. I will say, it's been quite a good ride for now. 

In our first proper discussion, we were conversing about the conventions of time management and how to properly apply methods that can improve your time management. Some of the methods that I remember include keeping a calendar, prioritizing tasks, knowing when to take breaks, etc. These methods are often rinsed and repeated time and time again as there's really not much else you can advise on when it comes to improving time management. Every solution is different and every tip will fit and work for different people.

The methods that I have applied to my own learning that I notice have worked rather well is putting effort into finishing my work on the day of. I started staying back in school to finish simpler homework, notes, and the like. This has vastly improved my productivity and allowed me more downtime when I reach home. Of course, reviewing and studying for school still proves to be a bit of a hassle so I struggle with that. But it's not all that difficult.

My main problem with time management stems from the fact that I struggle to motivate myself to do rather simple tasks. "Read that chapter" or "finish this project". It only evokes a feeling of exhaustion that makes it difficult for me to do said tasks.

On the bright side, I have mostly improved my time management and I plan to continue doing so in the near future.

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...
