"Starting out AEP..." Khalid's Blog

Starting out AEP was something quite new to me, somewhat like a shock. Since I joined the school late, I missed a bit of lessons from the subject. Seeing words like "bumfuzzled" or "lame duck" really got me so confused at first and was rethinking if I'm even learning English or a whole different language. I then got to know that we were learning different kinds words relating in both the political and business fields. 

I was a little worried as I had a hard time trying to understand these words at first and what they meant so I was not confident at all if we had seat-works or different activities relating to our lesson. Me being a not so knowledgeable person about any political or business topics made it even more confusing for me. Good thing Ms. Disa's classes are really chill and gives us a warmup with different word games like Wordle or Waffle to let our minds run. When the finals were announced I decided to study the best I can with the words which was worth it as I didn't have a hard time in the exam. I then realized, hardship is only temporary if you do something about it and you'll eventually pass the struggle that you had. 

I now am enjoying AEP as I get to learn new words of the English language which adds more knowledge into my mind. I'm also quite excited for this term as we're are currently learning about the different words of the medical field which are very interesting while also familiar as I also take and learn biology. Let's us all strive in this 2nd term and thank you very much.

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...
