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 got a worksheet that had maps on it. We also discussed the difference between passive and present tense sentences, which was quite helpful as it hasn’t been discussed in class before. Subsequently, we also practiced making passive and present tense sentences.


March 12, 2025 -  A whole essay?


This time, we had an onboard warm-up, but Hurdle was against us. In this game, I was given the opportunity to hold the pen. We were able to manage the game at the start, but as we progressed, it only got more difficult. It required a lot more thinking, but since I was holding the pen, I didn't think at all. We managed to finish the game on time. 

Following that, we discussed what made up an essay. It included paraphrasing the prompt and writing the overview. Miss had also suggested ways to write our essay, which I find thoughtful. She had given us about the rest of the lesson to finish our essay. The essay was about comparing two maps from 1985 and present time.

There was another worksheet we had left, so we completed the two remaining questions. The first was unscrambling the word stated while the second one was putting the correct tense for a verb. Since we had a few minutes left, we decided to play contexto, but ended up unsuccessful.

"Before The Coffee Gets Cold" by Toshikazu Kawaguchi || Book Synopsis

In a hidden café tucked away in all the bustle of Tokyo, disconsolate patrons are given the rare chance to travel back in time. But, there’s a catch: they must return to the present before the coffee in front of them cools, or risk losing themselves eternally in the past.  " Before The Coffee Gets Cold ", a novel by author Toshikazu Kawaguchi, tells of four heartwarming, contemplative tales of a magical cafe's patrons that all interweave in the most little, yet enchanting ways. The first, a forlorn woman who seeks to mend a strained relationship before it becomes irrevocably broken, while the second hopes to acquire an explanation from a departed companion. A third character wishes to revist and undo a moment of regret, and the final traveler longs for one final brush with someone they had lost. The immutable and all-consuming nature of time unveils itself as each of the four's journeys progress, gently guiding them to acceptance.  The book uses charming prose juxtapo...

AEP Reflection 5 “Deep and meaningful”

Welcome back you all to another AEP blog! Today, Ill try my best to express things through words! Probably! Today was crazy.. currently in my car and I think I have to word things well here.. So, lets get started!  Today in AEP class, the atmosphere was calm, with the usual quietness filling the room. It felt like a regular session as we were handed a single sheet of paper for the activity just like the last meeting. This simplicity was becoming a pattern~and I found comfort in it.  As we settled in, the familiar voice from Ms. Disa’s phone once again guided us through the task. This time, we were presented with a checklist that asked us to select words we believed best described who we are. On the back of the sheet, the task became more challenging, as we had to choose the words that we felt defined us “perfectly”. It made me think harder about what truly represents me. When it came time for me to reflect, I chose family, art, and leadership. It was difficult to narrow down t...
