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

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...
