Stories, Scrabble, and Panic- Meral- AEP 11- Blog 2.2

Incoming AEP update... 


Returning from the two-week holidays, and stepping into the AEP classroom, I found myself entering in the middle of a story being told by Miss Disa. Trying to piece together the randomized details, I gathered that Miss was talking about the money she had "lost" for a plane ticket she'd already paid for- essentially, the money the airline had yet to refund her.

It's always nice to hear Miss talk about her adventures, whether it's about a Lazada package arriving at her door while she wasn't home or her runs in the mountains. These little anecdotes remind me that teachers don't live at school- something I wholeheartedly believed when I was younger.

Anyway, the rest of the day proceeded calmly. We circled around the Scrabble table and played a round of who-had-their-breakfast-that-day enough to coin letters into words. I'm unsure which group had won, but considering it wasn't my group, it doesn't count anyway :D. 

The following week, we commenced class with a game of Waffle, quickly completed it, and then leveled up to Deluxe Waffle. New year, a new unit for AEP! Miss Disa announced we'd be learning words about Crime and Punishment. Happy to hear this, I was ecstatic to learn the exact definitions of words I often come across while watching crime documentaries. 

The lexis generally looked familiar, but there were some interesting ones I hadn't heard of before, such as "hooliganism" and "embezzlement". We took turns matching the definitions to the words, which was quite fun. We ended class with Miss discussing the correct matches, and I took a mental note to memorize them in case we had a quiz on this unit the next week.

Alas, my mental note betrayed me. Wednesday morning, I knew I was forgetting something but couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. Finally, it hit me! The possible quiz was today! Thus, I memorized the words on the bus ride to school. The amount of times I've done this surely exceeds the times I haven't- I think I might secretly enjoy the rush.

We started class with a new warm-up game called "Duotrigordle"- a word game featuring 32 boards simultaneously instead of just one. It wasn't as difficult as it seemed, but then again as I was trying to figure out the words, we had already moved on to the next one. It turned out there wasn't a quiz after all, but Miss handed out the Unit 4 worksheets so we could fill out all we could remember. And here I must leave you with a cliffhanger.

That's all for this blog. 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...

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 ...

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...
