Reflection#2.2/Nada

 My AEP job interview class had to do a great and interesting job resume: create a fictional resume for Atticus Finch, the character that I chose the lawyer from "To Kill a Mockingbird". This helped me understand how a good resume can be written as well as led me to some important qualities about a good lawyer.

First, I made the resume look real. In education, I put Atticus at a well-known law school so he could represent intelligence. Experience is where he wrote about the case of defending Tom Robinson; in this part, I have taken into account the skills applied to the work such as thinking critically, speaking clearly, and standing up for justice. Creating a fictional resume for Atticus Finch was an interesting and challenging experience. It required me to think about how to present his career in a professional and structured way while making it realistic for a lawyer from his time period.


This is one of the biggest challenges that I faced-to balance historical accuracy with modern resume writing. As resumes today have a specific format, I had to decide how to adapt Atticus's experience in a way that made sense. Listing his education and legal experience was pretty straightforward, but I had to think carefully about how to describe his skills and achievements in a way that fit both his character and professional background.


It was actually my favorite section to write-the skills. I used words like "Strong Morals," "Public Speaking," and "Empathy," which truly applied to both Atticus and real lawyers. This really made me think about what the actual skills and values are in a job. Choosing the Job & Company After drafting the resume, I needed to decide which job Atticus Finch would apply to. As his reputation goes, he is out there protecting the defenseless and dealing with injustices, so he would seek employment in a law firm


This assignment was really helpful because it taught me how to present the skills and experiences clearly. I also realized that a resume is not just for listing jobs. It's about showing who you are and what you believe in. overall; this has really been a great learning experience that will be useful in the future when applying for jobs and interviews.

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...
