AEP BLOG 2.2 - Summer Rose S. Valdez

 


        Welcome to the new year!  One hopefully filled with exciting adventures (academic and not) that will disrupt my obnoxiously lengthy screen-time.  Clearly, despite my hollow enthusiasm, I have not changed for the better this January.  


Time runs quickly - and this time, I have not been able to catch it.


        January 8 - Pie, anyone?

    What better way to start the new year with a quick game of hurdle?  In our case, it truly was quick.  Three rounds and we have blundered.  An unexpected defeat, but not an unfamiliar one.

    Starting off with something we have experienced quite a bit last year, we reviewed charts.  Though this time, we took on learning pie charts.  Although they seemed intimidating at first, I got the hang of it and filled out blank spaces in my used-to-be empty worksheet.



        January 15 - Again

    What's more than a nice, simple Wordle game?  37.  Imagine my surprise when the board displayed not one, not two - but 37 wordle games, all at once.  We had to answer Wordle after Wordle after Wordles again and again.  However, past its intense visuals, I managed to answer a good amount of the words through my groggy thoughts.

    Once again, we reviewed pie charts.  After staring at colorful circles, we had to write the main takeaways from them.  I did not mind this at all, because it reflects on our past lessons on identifying key information from given graphs.



        January 22 - Read,  Reflect,  Fix.

    After an expected win against Wordle, we dove into our past mistakes - oddly terrifying.  But it wasn't so bad after all.  Thanks to this, I learned to prioritize the most important part of the sentence to be at the beginning, rather than focusing on the little details.  After that, we fixed our mistakes.  Though I was immensely tempted to peek at my past (mistakes), I had to face the future (sentences that must be written).

    Ignoring the incoherent babbling from a disruptive student fixed to sitting next to me, I enjoyed as we wrote about pie charts again.  Looking at information from different countries and about energy sources, I managed to come up with enough answers and key points of information.



Now that we are nearing the end of the month, and the first month of AEP this year has gone by, I feel rather melancholy.  A few of my peers and I have experienced the class of AEP and Miss Disa's teaching together since Grade 7, and it is coming to an end soon.  Recently, my parents have discussed plans of moving me to Filipino class next year to prepare for college.  Despite all this, though, I will not forget the lessons Miss Disa has taught me through these years.


Since the beginning of this year, I started to realize how little time there is.  Like a carefree bird, it flies on and on - aloof from our endless pleas to slow down.

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...

the cost of giving up — Leowyn Blog 3.3

 Today was the assignment of the final, retrospective blog we would do to encapsulate everything we've seen and learnt in AEP for Grade 11. It's a miracle I'm still smiling across the hallways, filled with days where I'm really just like "what is happening?" This year has really went by so fast and so soon, so here I am, in the final stretch of the year, seeking solace in the summer break (which I won't be getting due to college applications and my AS Levels.) Here's the rundown of what we've done in each term, paired with the titles of my blogs on those terms: Term One: eternal sunshine, ***Flawless, The Joker, Repeat Term 1 was one of the most grueling terms for me in AEP, mainly because of the unit topics. Learning business terms and political terms even though I explicitly said, to everyone in my life, I would never touch a business topic ever again ... but there I was, running around with 'gerrymandering' in my head 24/7. It was good p...

3.2

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 ...
