AEP Reflection #3.2 “March chronicles”

 Welcome back to anothah reflection! Alright, the more exclamation points I add.. the larger my misery is. Everyone, this is the specialty of March. Oh hoho.. 


This time in AEP we welcomed a new topic! Now, we are focusing on speech writing. Growing up, the process of speech writing always found its way to my heart. Little by little it ended up being such a great part of my life until this day. Im referring it to so many ways; whether it would be through negotiating for grades, schoolwork, groupwork, team-building activities and debate. 


However, the more and more I practice speech. I realised how I slowly forgot how its like to write a proper speech; considering impromptu speeches were something that came naturally. Its not a skill for someone to brag about, especially if it is something that has been in the making ever since primary school. In fact, I believe its too long for what I have; almost embarrassing. Sometimes, I would question: “Why on earth am I not like my other friends.. who are going to all these fancy speaker places and travelling the world?!”. Comparison is definitely the thief of joy.. but I really can’t help but think about how we started in the same level then now I feel like I am left behind. 


So the fact that we are learning about speech writing, not only reminds me to take a step back.. but for me to remember how important it is to fix your skills before you crumble!


Its ironic, the video is quite old but I also watched the same preachy speech many years back. Its funny how this moment feels like a full circle. Aside from our emoji activity, we haven’t done actual writing yet. So Im looking forward to that in the coming days:)


See you in the next one!

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...
