Reflection 3 -- SEM 2 -- Adi Syachrin

 Finished the last and final presentation!! And I think it went pretty well.

To be fair, I think I cheated a little bit when I used my own timer to do my presentation (I am really bad at gauging the time) but it all worked out pretty well.

Backpacking off of my last presentation, as well as my last reflection, I mentioned that I'll be doing another game format in order to further engage the audience. Where last time I only showed pictures on screen that were rather hard to see, I did as promised and brought a real flower to this presentation!

I was quite in a hurry as I had plans to actually just buy flowers from my nearest grocery store but I didn't have the time, so I ended up stealing one from Santolan Plaza on my way home on Tuesday. Oops...

Eh, whatever. It was a singular Peace Lily. No one would miss it, right? I chose a rarer flower on purpose to make the game more engaging. Roses and daisies are a dime a dozen and everyone can easily guess their meanings and names. However, there are over a thousand varieties of lilies and each one has its own specific name. This is such a niche topic but that is personally so interesting to me.

As a flower nerd, I was asked by a few people if I had been able to name the flower I stole and no surprise, it's a yes. I can recognize and name a good variety of flowers, though my knowledge is still quite limited. The Peace Lily just happened to be the flower that caught my eye when I plucked it from the bushes.

Anyways, enough about the flowers. How was the presentation?

It went pretty well, all things considered. I only went a few seconds over time and I practiced a few times the night before. I had better preparation this time, no doubt about that. I'm glad that I remembered my script without needing to look at my notes too much and that I managed to explain quite a bit of the topic without info-dumping like I did last time. I don't think I got perfect of course but it was clearly an improvement.

And now, off to my project!

I posted my AEP project already especially considering how easy it was and all. I haven't written haikus in a good few years but the rules and structure are pretty simple regardless. I finished it rather quickly and I'll post it up in Miss Disa's board once school starts. I couldn't get much of an inspiration so I chose a winter theme for simplicity.

Anyways, that's all.

Thank you for reading!

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...
