AEP Reflection 2.3 “The final *final* hopefully”

 


Good day fellow readers! Welcome back to anothah reflection~! 


Phew, its already our last presentation 


As I’m writing this reflection, I realize how careless I was about managing my Wi-Fi or, in this case, not paying attention to the data I was using. Lo and behold, my entire reflection—yes, the whole thing—was not saved. I don’t understand why it didn’t save while I was using mobile data, but I guess my signal was poor at the time. Maybe the connection was weak when I exited the site. Either way, I’ve learned my lesson. I’m never going to let that happen again. From now on, I’ll make sure to do all my reflections at home, where I have a stable internet connection.

Anyway, this week we had to deliver our last presentation—thankfully, the last one! Miss Disa confirmed it today, and honestly, it’s such a relief. I’ve learned a lot from the two presentations we did earlier, but the feedback we received today was especially eye-opening. For years, every teacher who critiqued my presentations seemed to focus only on the improvements I’d made or the areas where I excelled. However, Miss Disa pointed out something different—how I improved in some areas but regressed in others. She suggested that presenting the same material multiple times may have caused this, as we made changes each time, leading to a completely different final presentation.

For my presentation, since I was discussing the same topic, I focused on different aspects each time. For example, during my first presentation, I emphasized the entrepreneur herself. In the second one, I focused more on her qualities as an entrepreneur. By the final presentation, I incorporated Miss Disa’s feedback to include a real-life example or a prop. So, I brought a hijab to class and demonstrated how to put it on with the help of Nada. She seemed both happy and embarrassed, but my classmates enjoyed it. I’m glad I experimented with new techniques, even if I barely scratched the surface.

This experience has been incredibly useful. It’s one of the lessons I’m genuinely grateful for in AEP class, even though it can sometimes feel tiring—especially since it’s on a Wednesday, right in the middle of the week. However, I remind myself that AEP is just once a week, which is so much less frequent compared to other classes I’ve had in previous years. Honestly, it’s a blessing to have this class, and I’m really thankful for the opportunity to learn from it.

I don’t think I have enough time to write my second reflection today, so I’ll work on it tomorrow. I still need to finish my midterm. I wonder what kind of haiku I’ll come up with—maybe something related to Ramadan? That feels festive, but I’m not entirely sure yet. I’ll figure it out when the time comes.

For now, I need to focus on getting through the school week.

See you in the next one!

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...
