Blog 1.1- AEP virtual journal

Hey!!!! The picture really just sums up my whole month, because this is all that I've been watching, or doing. And it has nothing to do with this. (swaggggg) 

Anyways, let me just start off where I came from ;> I've never been in any International School before, but it was so easy making new friends here. As I feel comfortable enough with the environment, and the people too! I came from a public school in Malaysia, so there was no such class like AEP. Thus, this is all so new to me. 

AEP class has been nothing but a major refreshment. All that we've done in this class, I considered them all to be chilly and fun! There's always something that makes us more, awake. We always do activities together as a class and I think that's a brand new experience for me to enjoy. I didn't do much activities that requires me to work together with my classmates from the school I came from. So I really do appreciate how AEP class brings people together. 

However, the things I've been learning and absorbing in this class are very much hard compared to what I usually learn in my old English classes. I managed overtime though ;)

I learn new words almost every week in this class. My classmates are all VERYYY, VERYY superb at games that requires your vocab to pop off. I learn my vocabs from each one of them most of the times in class. The games that we've been playing also milked off my knowledge of vocabularies.

What activities have we been doing?

Scrabble

Eghhhh, sounds really boring isn't it? But trust me, it's NOT!! It's always fun because it gets really competitive among my classmates. We would always try so hard to get points and win. We always partnered up and I somehow couldn't stay away from my seatmate, Izzah so we always get partnered up together. The very first Scrabble game we played, WE WON!!! That was really unexpected to be honest, because I'm pretty dumb when it comes to forming up words ANDDDD, we were going up against Anis, basically the MOST TALENTED Scrabble player. And she has a WIDE range of vocabularies.  

Wordle

This game is legit my biggest enemy. I ABSOLUTELY HATEEE PLAYING WORDLE!! I'm very bad at guessing and coming up with words. Wordle is a game where you make up a strategy and form up words to come up with the final word, which is the answer. I SWEARRRR I never win any of these. Nevertheless, it was all fun and games. It was an activity that fries up my brain and wakes me up before class. 

Others

There are a lot more other activities that we did, they're all kinda the same as Wordle but well..... I forgot all the names. In comparison, these ones are more of a teamwork as we all work together as a class and try to figure out whatever the words are. It varies from like a grouping guesses to an individual ones and it all just comes together at the end. These games are all so intuitive and build up my courage to participate in things as I always join in and help.

Miro Boards 

Our Miro boards are all so pretty and it gives me a lot of endorphins watching each one of us working together(again, see I told you AEP is all about teamwork;>). Ms. Disa always gets excited watching our boards come together because according to her, it's like watching a flower bloom when we all compile something that we learned in class, all together in one simple virtual mind map. They always end up looking so colorful and nice as well as neat and put together. The topics that we based our Miro Boards are always so generally big and controversial. So we all have our own opinions on the topic and it's such a revitalizing thing to discuss these topics while learning new vocabularies.

(See, isn't that pretty? ;>)

That is all from me ;> Goodbye!!
