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 3.3 Almira

 I haven’t written a blog for quite a long time, and I also haven’t attended aep class for 3 weeks because I went to vacation in Boracay and there was the Musicals and the most recent one was the Holy week, to be honest I dont really remember what we did for aep for the past few weeks I was in class and as long as I can remember we did scrabble and did our seatwork. I dont know what to write about since I dont have anything to talk about the class since I was absent for quite a long time, anyways for the past few weeks I was  absent from aep class I did some cool activities and visited two different islands.  Roughly two weeks ago, I went to Boracay for vacation since it was Eid so we decided to go there for a week I had so much fun there and I really enjoyed it because I went snorkelling and did some other water sports activities. Now the second time I was absent for aep was because of the musicals, it was techinacally a holiday but I think I kinda enjoyed it unfortunate...

3.2

Helloooo!!! How is everyone?? Yup, I am late again, like always — and this time, I really am not sure what to write, as I am constantly getting demolished every day with Cambridge. If you were wondering where I was all this time… well, I was just doing past papers!! OKAY — so this blog was due weeks ago, and the reason I missed it (it’s not procrastination this time!!) is that I was absent during the last two weeks of classes that semester. For one of them, we had our stats mock for Cambridge, which I wonderfully failed, and for the next absence… I don't even remember what happened to me. Maybe I was just dead doing all the past papers. Sorry, Miss Disa — I began procrastinating midway!! Well, I’m going to finish this now. This semester, we started doing lessons on environmental words. It was a pretty easy chapter and fun lessons! Too bad I missed most of them. Anyway, on the first day, Miss Disa gave us some random cut-out words that go together. Me, Meral, and Sashmeen were in ...

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...
