Aleena Blog 1&2

Not too long I was just writing my first blog for the year, now I’m here again to write about my experience with aep. Every lesson means a new thing to learn. Maybe not every lesson, we just redo the previous but with a little bit more difficulty, which I could say is very helpful for building our skills. This is isn’t even the start of the blog ^_^

Without further ado, let the blog begin!


Aug 14, 2024 -  paraphrasing again?

This time Hyeono got up and did our Squardle. This time, I wasn’t able to say anything because my brain just decided not to. Even if I tried, I don’t think I would’ve helped a lot. Although we tried our best, we only managed to get 16/30. 


Afterwards, we were given a paper regarding how to paraphrase. It had step by step examples making it easier for us to understand. I found the paper very useful, it really makes our life’s easier if you’re gonna paraphrase 


The only new things we did were paraphrasing, but with actual steps. On the first go, we were told to do it with only the first four steps. Which didn’t include adding extra information or twists, just switching up the words a bit. On the final go, we had to it until step six. The devastating thing is I wasn’t able to finish all the twelve questions. It wasn’t just me, Summer also didn’t finish it, which made me feel a little better because I wasn’t alone.


Aug 21, 2024 - the same worksheet?

We began our lesson with a quick game of Hurdle, one of our least favorite games. I think most of the time I wasn’t really paying attention, my brain wasn't functioning properly. But our pen holder for today was Mysha!! I don't know where or when but when I looked at the board, she was there. After some time, we managed to finish it in five tries, the word was “Decal”. Shortly after the warmup, we were given back our notebooks to check upon our past answers. I was able to get a “good effort” but I’m rooting for an excellent one!


We then had a very quick reading of Dogonews, the article was about Elephants. It started with hyeono and ended with me. Actually not me, the article was a bit longer so some boys got extra lines to read. 


First we had to give three points of a question given, then it was quickly checked by Ms Disa. This time we were gonna do the same worksheet but a bit different, it included an overview which meant to add comparison of the data. It was the second period of the class, with only thirty minutes remaining. The stress was slowly rising in me when I realized I barely had any time. I only answered four questions out of who knows what. But at least I wasn’t alone, Summer also didn’t finish it. Actually, I’m not sure if anyone did. But during the writing, Hyeono and Sid suddenly started talking and talking, I’m not familiar with what they were talking about.


Quote of the blog:

“No matter how many times you redo something, it will never be guaranteed that you’ll be perfect at it.”

"Before The Coffee Gets Cold" by Toshikazu Kawaguchi || Book Synopsis

In a hidden café tucked away in all the bustle of Tokyo, disconsolate patrons are given the rare chance to travel back in time. But, there’s a catch: they must return to the present before the coffee in front of them cools, or risk losing themselves eternally in the past.  " Before The Coffee Gets Cold ", a novel by author Toshikazu Kawaguchi, tells of four heartwarming, contemplative tales of a magical cafe's patrons that all interweave in the most little, yet enchanting ways. The first, a forlorn woman who seeks to mend a strained relationship before it becomes irrevocably broken, while the second hopes to acquire an explanation from a departed companion. A third character wishes to revist and undo a moment of regret, and the final traveler longs for one final brush with someone they had lost. The immutable and all-consuming nature of time unveils itself as each of the four's journeys progress, gently guiding them to acceptance.  The book uses charming prose juxtapo...

AEP Reflection 5 “Deep and meaningful”

Welcome back you all to another AEP blog! Today, Ill try my best to express things through words! Probably! Today was crazy.. currently in my car and I think I have to word things well here.. So, lets get started!  Today in AEP class, the atmosphere was calm, with the usual quietness filling the room. It felt like a regular session as we were handed a single sheet of paper for the activity just like the last meeting. This simplicity was becoming a pattern~and I found comfort in it.  As we settled in, the familiar voice from Ms. Disa’s phone once again guided us through the task. This time, we were presented with a checklist that asked us to select words we believed best described who we are. On the back of the sheet, the task became more challenging, as we had to choose the words that we felt defined us “perfectly”. It made me think harder about what truly represents me. When it came time for me to reflect, I chose family, art, and leadership. It was difficult to narrow down t...

Aleena Imran - Grade 9 - Blog 2.2

  December 11, 2024 - Hurdle Defeats us Starting off a game never knowing it will defeat us is truly the most humbling experience in AEP. And in this case, it was Hurdle. Everyone thinks it’s over, but it always comes back to us. It’s truly a battle, a battle between choosing which letters were correct and the placement of it. It was quite humbling to see at the end how blind we were during the game. We did a worksheet that included a graph and filled in the blanks. Other than that, we all recited one detail about a different graph and also read example answers. It wasn’t too difficult or anything like that since I adapted to doing these types of activities. January 8, 2025 - Defeated once again Once again, Hurdle returns to us. But it was quite different, it was somewhat similar to wordle, but you do it multiple times in a row until you lose. To our surprise, we lost after three games. It was quite devastating but oh well. In our worksheets, it included how to describ...
