Arya V - Blog #2

It's weird how it's 2025 already, I feel like last year went too fast. Anyways, in almost all the days I'm writing about, we played Scrabble.

December 5, 2024
We started with seatwork about prepositions. I was doing fine at the start, but I struggled a bit in the end, even though it was multiple choice. Somehow, I feel like my knowledge about prepositions is both good and bad at the same time. In the next period, we played Scrabble with a snack prize. Scarlet, who was my teammate, really wanted it. Unfortunately, my mind told me we definitely weren't winning anytime soon. I didn't want to let Scarlet down, but it seemed like she knew we were losing too. In the end, we made a slight comeback, but only climbed to 2nd place, with Busra & Sayo winning. We shared the prize anyway  :). (Also, Ms Disa posted a picture of us playing Scrabble on google classroom)

Jia saw the picture that Ms posted, and was sad about missing the last AEP Scrabble day, and Ms Disa let us play it. This was our first time playing "Speedy Scrabble", and our last AEP of 2024. I enjoyed it a lot more than the usual Scrabble we played. After a while, it gets tedious to wait 10 minutes for another team to choose a word. This time, each team had 3 minutes for their turn, having to shuffle all their letters once their turn is over. Me, Busra & Iskandar vs Sayo, Busra, & Jia, with Muhsin as the scorekeeper. Thankfully, my team kept getting good letters like X, Z, and J. This (and our skills) gave us the win for this day.

This was the first AEP of 2025. We played many word games, and The last one was Contexto, which felt impossible to beat. Eventually, we gave up, and the word was wombat. That not suiting our "clues" left me a bit annoyed. Barely anyone knew what a wombat was anyway. In the second period, we played Speedy Scrabble and it was pretty fun. I felt pretty good while playing, and somehow felt like I was thinking better. This led to the victory being given to Scarlet & I :D. (Sidenote, Ms Disa posted another picture of us playing Scrabble, similar to the first day. Jia reacted again, commenting "NOOOOOOOOO". Oh well :,).

We started with listening activities, then played some word games. In the next period, we read DOGONews about a banana taped to a wall being sold for $6.2 million. Ms Disa made us stand up and spin around anytime she or the current reader said the word 'banana.' First of all, a banana being sold for $6.2 million is outrageous. I am both skeptical on the legitimacy of the story, and the buyer's common sense. Second of all, I didn't know whether I found the "standing up-spin around" amusing & fun or annoying. Maybe a bit of both. At some point, Ms even started to not notice when she said "banana".

Additional thing, the teacher for the Filipinos was absent that day. This made me wonder what AEP would be like if we had a substitute teacher..

    There won't be AEP if I was absent. I would let you play scrabble and everyone wod put strange words because I wouldn't be there to check.

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...
