Listen to the speaker - whether it's me or someone else!

Respect, be nice, and don't laugh at each other

Quiet when working and fun when possible.

Homework = study; only HW is what you don't finish in class = be active

Keep laptops (half)closed when not in active use.

Flipping the classroom

Flipping the classroom

In order to make the most of our in class time you will do some preparation at home. 

I have made instruction videos you will watch at home

Do this before coming to class

Why flip the classroom?

Gives us more time in class to: 

• Ask questions and practice
• Will allow the people who understand to move on 
• Gives me extra time to help the others
• Have discussions about other topics 

Any questions about Flipping the Classroom?

Did you already do any studying / revising?

Yes - I made exercises in the (online) workbook

Yes - I practiced with the grammar.

Does watching Netflix count? :)

Yes - I wrote some argumentative essays

Yes - I did it all!!!

Reflect

I am prepared for the unit 5 test.

Want extra practice? Complete the exercises on MyEnglishlab.

Study unit 5 and prepare for the test tomorrow - during the 2nd hour.

One or Two truths and a lie

Write down 2 or 3 statements using non-defining relative clauses. 

Person A reads their statements while person B and C try to figure out which one is the lie.

Switch roles and speak English!
