Blog #2 - Kristine

Second blog for this school year (wow!). This blog includes stuff from two-ish weeks ago (August 20 - August 27). Anyways on August 20 (our 3rd AEP meeting), I got some help for the blogs (since I didn't know how to join the Blogger website). So thanks to Miss Disa I can create and submit these blogs now (yay). After that, we played Strands. And afterwards read two DOGOnews articles (one about elephants calling each other using their names and the other about colored lobsters). Then when we finished reading that, we played Wordle (the word was "delay"). After playing Wordle we did a seatwork review (I wasn't able to do the seatwork so I wasn't able to do much). We did quite a lot that day.

On to the next week now (August 27). We played started off playing a warm-up game, and afterwards read a DOGOnews article about ants being able to do surgery on each other. We then read another DOGOnews article about the Barbie movie. After we finished reading, we continued the seatwork from 2 weeks ago (we did the skimming part this time). And afterwards we played Contexto. It took us awhile to get the word (we used six hints before being able to figure it out). The word was "joke".

I guess that's it for blog #2. Thank you for reading!

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...
