CONTINUING WITH FLIPPING THE GRAMMAR

Hello everyone! If you remember, we flipped the vocabulary lesson last week. This week, we continue with our grammar subject ''should'' through the topic ''illnesses''. We first give brief information on the structure of this subject and how we can use it. Then we go on with our doctor-patient dialogues shot by us and our families. 

As we are experienced from the last week's task, this task did not challenge us too much. The only thing was waiting for the family members to get prepared for the video :) I shot the introduction part, 5 dialogues of the whole, the game part where we play ''Heads Up'' with my sister, and prepared the worksheet where students need to fill in the blanks using the right form of should. And my partner, Ali Görkem, shot the informative video in which he explains the structure and the use of should, he shot the rest of the 5 dialogues.

 He also edited our videos using Vegas Pro . He used OBS for the structure part. I prepared our handout via Canva . I recorded my voice through the recorder of my phone. I cut a new moon out of a handcrafted paper and needled it to my shirt and used a little notebook for pretending to prescribe meditation. Ali Görkem also used furniture such as a table lamp, pillboxes, a notebook in order to make it a more realistic atmosphere. I printed out 10 pictures depicting illnesses to play the game. We also recommend students looking at Skell for wider usage of should.

LET'S FLIP IT!

Hello again, folks. I hope you are well and healthy since our last meeting. For this week, I and Ali Görkem prepared a lesson video for our ''flipped classroom''. To explain briefly, we flip the content of the lesson by teaching the subject through a video before coming to class and reinforcing the subject through activites in the classroom. I think it is very fun for students to observe their teacher through a colorful and an informative video. The only problems might be technological problems and some students coming to class without watching the video. For the latter one, students will see in class that they should watch the video in order to keep pace with the class. And this application will lead students to have more time for practice in the classroom. 

It was a very fun process to shoot our vocabulary lesson video with our siblings and choosing movies. I shot the introduction part, one of the dialogues and explanation of the 3 activites we created on Wordwall. My partner, Ali Görkem made the introduction of the movies and related genres. He also edited the video through Vegas Pro and shot one of the dialogues with his brother. And we uploaded our lesson to Youtube. And here is our masterwork!:)

And these are our aforementioned activities:

We had almost no problems except for the level of voice but it was not a big problem. Apart from that, it was a valuable and informative experience to observe how we can apply this type of lesson into our future classes.
