Absence- Meral- AEP 11- Blog 3.2


Honestly, I'm unsure what to write for this blog since I was absent two-thirds of the time- either due to mocks or falling sick. This third term has definitely had a messy beginning for me, with everything clumped together- school, musicals, and AS levels fast approaching. I fear it will only get busier from here, now that midterms are over and we're onto the last stretch of chaos.

For AEP, though, we started a new unit focused on Environmental Science, which explores nature and how humans interact with it. I find this topic particularly relevant since it directly affects our daily lives and provides a clearer picture of the climate crisis we're facing today.

One Wednesday, on February 26th, we kicked off class with a friendly round of Waffle, which we successfully completed! Miss Disa then grouped us into three's with my group consisting of Naboni, Shasmeen and I. We were handed out paper cutouts of collocations to mix and match. After a few mishaps- papers flying due to laughter (or coughing fits)- my group managed to nearly complete the long list of matches.

There were three categories: global warming, the environment, and nature, which served as helpful hints. Some phrases were tricky since they could fit in multiple ways, making the exercise both a challenge and a great mental workout. Despite that, I enjoyed the activity as it was an engaging way to learn about these different vocabularies. 

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...
