Nada Ahmed-Blog#3.2

To get back to the subject of social media (for the umpteenth time), it is a world of curated perfection where everyone seems to fit neatly into trending aesthetics, polished opinions, and filtered smiles. However, if you're bending yourself to fit the mold to undermine the real you, trying to keep up with other highlights will only dim your light. It's exhausting, isn't it? To perform, please post as if your worth is hanging on likes and comments. The world does not need another copy; it needs raw, messy, beautiful authenticity that only we can bring. Sincerely, you don't need to smile when you don't feel like it. Agree with popular texts that don't sit right or show up just for approval. It's ok to step back to protect your peace and let the people see you without the masks. Not everyone will applaud those who truly see you; however, those who do will appreciate your authenticity. Dare to be imperfect. It's how real connections are made—not by the perfection you display but by the humanity you share.


Moving forward, I've used this technique lately for processing or engaging with my new key concepts. Initially, I thought that mind mapping was the same as blurting for recall or learning content. Mind mapping for learning whilst engaging with the content; for example, you might mindmap whilst reading or watching a video. I used it since I found just reading a textbook or watching a video is passive and you won't remember much, wasting numerous hours for not much gain. so I found out that this method was really effective in drafting ideas; however, it should be specifically focusing on the topic and be cautious of just jotting down notes in a ransom manner. The main goal is making logical connections. After all, talk yourself through all of the distinct points. Then you're going to highlight them. This will help us in drafting the graduation speech. Ultimately, AEP made me realize that no matter how prepared you are, there is going to be something unexpected.

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...
