The Joker — Leo's Blog 1.3

 Blog 11.1.3. Last week, we began the wonderful class of AEP with a game of "Connections," the one game that makes us absolutely silent for about a good ten minutes of the period. Me personally, I find the game pretty fun, especially watching Ms. Disa get ballistic after seeing Osamah with the magic wand; it's half figuring out the connection and half watching Osamah with the pen make Ms. Disa's head explode.

Anyway, we didn't get it because Osamah tried submitting when we didn't unanimously agree, but alas, it's always just a warmup game! We had two and then completely lost the other two. The thing about Connections is that I really enjoy the pure satisfaction in not getting caught up in red herrings and successfully getting something right in the first shot ... which we haven't gotten last week.

For the remaining time of that period, we were grilled about not finishing our project. Lucky me. I was a little late for the project but was still successful in doing it. Thankfully. Nadia's notifications have not stopped blowing up my phone since last week and I'm over it. I'm always getting these "Let's have a writing session! Come back! I want to watch you breathe again!" and I'm just ... ignoring them for now. I have no idea how to get rid of her voice in the back of my head.

We were given a new unit to work on for this half-term, unit 2. It is about ... politics, which is ironic, considering how the elections for U.S. are coming up this November and the book is, I'm pretty sure, British. It features words such as "ratify", "polarize", "convene" and others. Considering how we're two years away from being able to vote, I don't know if I can memorize these words in time before my vote can even count. I don't follow politics as much as I'd need these words, sadly.

This week, along with the worksheet, we also did multiple games we finished swiftly! Hurdle, Waffle and Squardle, all finished within the midst of 5 minutes each. It was a fun day, with fun new words like "bumfuzzle", "cattywampus", and others. To be honest, when I saw the word, I was completely bumfuzzled at such an atrocious verb. My jokes aren't hitting good today, as you can tell from this extremely dry blog. (sad face)

Anyway, these two weeks have been exciting. A week full of jokes! That's right! Just in time for Lady Gaga's cameo on The Joker releasing next week. Goodbye!

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...
