I've decided to use PowToon.com as a platform for my students to
summarize video lectures, present their ideas, and give process overviews in my
Programming class. Teachers you can get a FREE PowToon, animated presentation

the concept of the Flipped Classroom. The
Flipped Classroom model uses face-to-face learning time for active learning
projects and assigns video-based lectures as homework. I
instruct a high-school level programming class at private co-operative in
Texas, and this year I have decided to flip the classroom. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Tekton Pro Ext","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Adobe Fangsong Std R";">Cooperative learning organizations do not meet on a daily
basis. High school age students self-manage
the majority of their learning activities, so including video lecture material
is a natural fit. In addition, students
will receive the added benefit of peer-to-peer mentoring during class time,
while they work on their projects. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Edmodo.com, which is an academic, social media site for K-12. Edmodo gives me a central location to post assignments, video
lectures, and to answer questions from the students. I am new to flipping, but thus far, I think
it is an outstanding way to allow my students to access my lectures and resources
independently, and it will enable us to utilize
class time for cooperative learning
projects as a group. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Tekton Pro Ext', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Tekton Pro Ext', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Art</span></span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Tekton Pro Ext', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"> is an enjoyable way to incorporate mathematical
and spatial reasoning during learning time.
Yet, squeezing art into my weekly schedule is difficult. In the past, I have included craft solutions
to display our work. Still, I find that I do more work than the students
do, and the prep time occasionally kills the project. This year, I plan to encourage my students to
become their own illustrators and graphical artists by having them illustrate
or model the topics and strategies they learn about in ELA, Math, Science,
Bible, or History.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Tekton Pro Ext","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Tekton Pro Ext","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> This week I reintroduced the C.A.F.E. menu
of reading strategies from the Two Sisters and the six traits of good writing
using V.O.I.C.E.S. The comprehension
strategy of the week was retell the story.
Of course, I created a connection between retelling the story and the O of
the six traits, organization. We focused
on the structure of a story: the beginning, a middle, and the end. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Tekton Pro Ext","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Tekton Pro Ext","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> Throughout the week, we referred to these
strategies to retell the stories I read, and we completed graphical organizers
to support these ideas. At the end of the
week, I combined our Work on Writing Center with Art. The project was simple, illustrate an
original story, or retell a familiar story with pictures using the beginning,
middle, and end strategy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

lends itself to differentiation. The
older or more advanced child retold a story, but with an original twist. The younger learner retold a familiar story, <i>The Very Hungry Caterpillar</i>, by E.
Carle. The best part was how easy it was. Below
is a step-by-step overview of what we did. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

construction paper into 1/3 like a letter.
We glued half of a 12’’ by 12’’ piece of scrapbook paper to the top flap
and cut copier paper into tags. However,
we did not title our story until the end.
On the inside flap, they wrote their names.</span></div>

the students orientated the construction paper to the portrait position.</span><span style="font-family: 'Tekton Pro Ext', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Tekton Pro Ext', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-indent: 0.5in;">Together we wrote a B, an M, and an E in the

the children drew the parts of their stories.
I observed the type of stories they selected. This gave me an idea about what books they
really liked and the subjects they enjoy.
It was a chance to learn about their unique tastes and to improve their
classroom reading selections. In science,
we introduced using a compass to make a circle.
One child used the compass in his art. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the students titled their stories. We
then decided to skip Word Work time and allowed the students to tell their
stories. This was a peaceful end to a
busy week, and the students had the opportunity to apply the concepts of the
week in a unique way. At the end of the
day, I taped the back of the stories to
our Wonder Wall, so the students could display their creations. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
