 February 18, 2025 - Failed Duotrigordle?

Ever since the year started, we have been trying out new warmups other than the ones we usually do such as wordle, hurdle, waffle and others. In this short lesson, we were given the choice to play Duotrigordle, which has become one of our new favorites. It’s basically solving 37 wordles at once,  but you have to guess it in a certain amount of guesses.  


It took us a long time to finish it, around over 20 minutes. This game required a lot of thinking since there’s multiple words to guess at once. Most of the time, it was Sid guessing and talking. 


We didn’t exactly fail Duotrigordle, we didn’t guess all the words in the required amount of guesses, but we were still able to proceed guessing, but there’s no winning or awards. I was able to guess a few words, quite surprising since I usually don’t do much in the warmup.


February 26, 2025 -  Almost Failing Wordle?

Since we didn’t have much time to waste since its shortened periods, we started off with a warm up right away. This time it was Wordle, a classic. For this warm up, Ms Disa was the one holding the pen, something different than we usually do. 


For the first two guesses, none of it has correct or misplaced letters, just fully wrong. On the third try, we only got two letters “A” and “R”. After a lot of thinking, Kuk was able to guess the word “Award” on the second last try. I found this game experience quite strange since we usually guess the word in the first three tries. 


After that, we received our exam papers, which weren’t the best. We checked the exam papers and saw our mistakes, quite humbling after thinking I did well. We also received a paper Ms made with ChatGPT, containing all the answers for the exam. Afterwards, Ms explained the answer sheet and how we should use AI to help us but not fully answer our work.


Lastly, we did a worksheet which contained maps. We had to compare the two maps, and then write the following letter to the correct answer. The letters contained sentences that connected the sentences about the maps.  It was quite confusing as Ms didn’t double check when she printed it, but we had our own ways of answering the questions. We were all asked to give one sentence comparing the two maps.

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...
