Repeat — Leo's Blog 1.4

Blog 11.1.4. Politics, politics, and more politics! Last week, we had done a terrible job in a 3-star Squardle that had only 27 words. We achieved only 12 of those points, failing to get the rest in an attempt to wake up for the morning. With the upcoming camping, why wouldn't we feel pumped up and excited for the events of what's to come? Because of the double quiz during that week's Thursday, biology and chemistry! Killing all students with two stones!

It's wasn't easy for us to get going with the next few words that were present in the next part of the chapter. 20 new words purely about politics, and even if you did know some, how was it used in a political sense? For example, "gerrymandering" is not a word that everyone knows, but maybe those who study American politics do. It's a strange word, considering how the USA has electoral states and thus allows gerrymandering to actually happen, but I dislike getting too in-depth on how strange politics actually is.

The week after, we began the day with a quick game of Wordle, which was a very ironic one for that matter. Knowing the word would be a repeating letter, we had guessed any variation of _O__Y but wholly said that the word "MOMMY" is simply not a word in the English dictionary. Guess what happened after we typed the last word (DODGY) ... the word appeared right above the entire game, screaming at us "MOMMY!"

After that atrocious game, we went and continued the same unit and collected the answer as well as its reasons to be, then did the next part, which was about identifying parts or types of government regimes. It was interesting when I searched them up, since I myself don't get into politics so often. It just so happens that the entire rest of the world is extremely political and love talking a lot about it when I don't live there, or I'm not affiliated with the country at all. Alas, politics is madness!

After camping, I was definitely tired. Thankfully we don't have to go through essays again like in Grade 10. If we did, I'd probably be crying after school. We even have a math quiz tomorrow, so I'm grateful we're just doing words. Woohoo!

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...
