Term Two Thoughts- Meral- AEP 11- Blog 2.1

It's been so long that I've forgotten how to write blogs. I've also got the sudden urge to talk about how this school year has been going so far- let's say it's been quite the adjustment stepping into 11th grade, and I'm still trying to get used to it. New study tactics, new responsibilities, new worries, new everything. On the bright side though, I'm finding most of my subjects more interesting than ever.

Anyway, enough of my rambling—hello there! It's been a bit since the start of the second term, but now that quizzes are coming up, maybe it hasn't been that little of a bit. Anyhow, in AEP, we started this new term on November 6, and the first thing we did was recap all that's been said and done. So, it feels fitting to give you a quick rundown of the first term.

We covered Units 1 and 2, which focused on business and political terms. I can't say I'm particularly interested in either, but they're definitely useful nonetheless. Just the other day, I came across an article and was shocked to find not one, but many of the terms. And thanks to AEP, I didn't even have to look up the definitions of the words😎. 

But when the time came around and Miss Disa tested our memory on the vocabulary, I realized- poof-  everything I thought I knew had dissipated into thin air. Regardless, the recall proved useful, and it felt reassuring to know that learning all this has a practical side to it. After that, miss told us about the changes that'll be implemented in AEP from here on out to help us improve. Finally, the day ended with a fun round of Scrabble as a treat for completing finals!

On November 13, we started class with a game of Hurdle and managed to guess the word "flown". Following this, miss announced that we'd be covering a new unit: Medical and Health Issues. I was quite content with the selected unit from the poll we had answered previously. Although I hadn't chosen it myself, it was a close second for sure. When we were each handed a worksheet to fill out, I was glad that I found it easier than the other two units. There were still, undoubtedly, words I didn't know, which I guess is a good thing. 

That's it for this blog. Hopefully, this second term will flow smoothly for everyone. As always, thank you for reading this and I'm hoping to see you in the next one!

Signing off, 

Meral

Blog 3.3 Almira

 I haven’t written a blog for quite a long time, and I also haven’t attended aep class for 3 weeks because I went to vacation in Boracay and there was the Musicals and the most recent one was the Holy week, to be honest I dont really remember what we did for aep for the past few weeks I was in class and as long as I can remember we did scrabble and did our seatwork. I dont know what to write about since I dont have anything to talk about the class since I was absent for quite a long time, anyways for the past few weeks I was  absent from aep class I did some cool activities and visited two different islands.  Roughly two weeks ago, I went to Boracay for vacation since it was Eid so we decided to go there for a week I had so much fun there and I really enjoyed it because I went snorkelling and did some other water sports activities. Now the second time I was absent for aep was because of the musicals, it was techinacally a holiday but I think I kinda enjoyed it unfortunate...

Helloooo!!! How is everyone?? Yup, I am late again, like always — and this time, I really am not sure what to write, as I am constantly getting demolished every day with Cambridge. If you were wondering where I was all this time… well, I was just doing past papers!! OKAY — so this blog was due weeks ago, and the reason I missed it (it’s not procrastination this time!!) is that I was absent during the last two weeks of classes that semester. For one of them, we had our stats mock for Cambridge, which I wonderfully failed, and for the next absence… I don't even remember what happened to me. Maybe I was just dead doing all the past papers. Sorry, Miss Disa — I began procrastinating midway!! Well, I’m going to finish this now. This semester, we started doing lessons on environmental words. It was a pretty easy chapter and fun lessons! Too bad I missed most of them. Anyway, on the first day, Miss Disa gave us some random cut-out words that go together. Me, Meral, and Sashmeen were in ...

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...
