AEP Reflection 4 “Object box”

Hello and welcome back to another swag AEP blog freshly done by yours truly hehe.. we did something new and quite meaningful. Our teacher, Ms. Disa, handed out a piece of paper and asked us to jot down objects that are important to us. These objects represent different aspects of our lives, almost like creating a personal "essence object board." It was an exercise in identifying the things that give us a sense of who we are.

The entire focus of this semester is to learn more about ourselves, and this activity really embodied that. Ms. Disa explained that our goal is to understand ourselves so deeply that we can confidently explain to colleges who we are and what makes us unique. This will help make strong personal statements when the time comes to apply. Honestly, I think this is really(really.. really)  valuable, especially since we’re in our final year of high school. Knowing that we’re working on something so crucial for our future motivates me to put in extra effort. 

Another cool and nostalgic thing (to be honest ) we’re doing this year is an "exit ticket" after each class. It's a quick reflection on what we’ve learned, and it brings back a bit of remembering from previous AEP classes, especially last year’s. It's like wrapping up each lesson with a thoughtful moment of reflection, helping us track our growth. But frankly its mostly just to help us write our reflections. hahahaha

The essence object activity was fascinating. We were guided by a speaker in a YouTube video, who walked us through the process. We had to list objects that remind us of important stages in our lives, like memories of our fathers, moments that shaped us, or things that scare us. It was fun but also made me think deeply about how these seemingly simple objects carry so much meaning in my life.

Quite a short entry, but very thankful for the new topic this sem. See you in the next one!

Blog #3

First blog of the year! This blog includes the padlet of many, many AEP meetings.  Last padlet of the year (December 10, 2024). On that day, we didn't do much, just played games. We first played Scrabble (which Selim won) and then played Waffle. Had fun that day. First padlet of the year (January 7, 2025). The break went by so quickly, it didn't feel like 2 weeks at all. I wish it was longer. Anyways, at the start of the class, Miss Disa asked us about the lessons she taught us and if we learned/remembered anything from it. After that, we played Scrabble once more. Somehow Selim beat us again. Selim is insanely lucky in Scrabble for some reason. He had nearly double everyone's score. He had around 120 something points if I remember correctly. We then played Contexto after we finished playing Scrabble. I enjoyed AEP and had a lot of fun. Missed lying on my bed though. Second padlet (January 14, 2025). The class began with us playing Unlimited Wordle. It looked and seemed lik...

Busra D (AEP 3.1)

ITS ALREADY 3ND TRIMESTER THAT IS CRAZY. Time goes by so fast like flash I’m excited and nervous at the same time for this 3rd trimester!!  This time I will do my blog different , I’ll just explain what we did most of the time in AEP. Before we get to the main part of our topic of game we always play word puzzles to get our mind moving, it helps us not sleep in AEP heh. Sometimes we also play scrabble which is really fun. I lost my streak sadly :( Jia is really good I’m usually 2nd place. One of my core memorize is dogo news miss makes it so fun to read and has interesting topics ( just like the banana taped on the wall) it will never get out of my mind. We also do listening tasks which is alright I guess. Well anyways this 2nd trimester went by so fast hope to see you next time byeee!!!.

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...
