Thank you for your reply, lots of helpful hints :) I'm too much of a perfectionist and I just want everything to be spot-on, which obviously it won't be...challenging my own traits and characteristics as well as my teaching! <br />Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the help, hope that you are having a great week!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16789324068005257975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3826033856235063878.post-68950156405886357162014-01-31T05:44:23.446-08:002014-01-31T05:44:23.446-08:00Hi Victoria, thanks for reading!

I'm not an expert in social studies so I don't know what you would want your students discussing but keep thinking and trying things - you'll figure it out. It might even have to be you coming up with a HOT question that ties into the previous night's lesson but requires some discussion, thought, and synthesis to put an answer together.<br />2 - Yep, don't have an answer to that problem yet! :)<br />3 - See my posts here: http://flippingwithkirch.blogspot.com/2013/10/my-method-of-using-peer-instruction-for.html and http://flippingwithkirch.blogspot.com/2013/10/week-8-i-love-peer-instruction.html<br />4 - Flex time is just the time AFTER the WSQ chat where students have a list of possible assignments they can work on and must choose what to spend their time doing. So it's flexible, focused time. Got it from Graham Johnson (math teacher from Canada). Much better than saying "Ok kids, you have free time to get what you want done" - they think of that as play time.<br /><br />Happy Friday!Crystal Kirchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12701759790348069890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3826033856235063878.post-92052761839614845052014-01-31T00:49:23.360-08:002014-01-31T00:49:23.360-08:00Hi.

I wondered if you wouldn't mind sharing some more information, as this is my first semester flipping the classroom and have some questions based on the survey results and feedback.<br /><br />1 - I find the WSQ chat experiences challenging, for social studies, especially as my students rarely have questions about the material and quite basic 'non-googleable' questions. It's turned into more of a 'discuss in your tables the questions that you had' which isn't really structured or focused.<br />2 - Summaries: I struggle with these too. Some students do great ones and really pay attention, others are very basic and you can tell have done it quickly just to get it finished. I think, being 12-13 year olds, they need much more structure (and thank you for the help with the SSS as I definitely need to use these!)<br />3 - Peer instruction? What do you do here?<br />4- Flex time, what is this?<br /><br />OK less questions than I thought but a very large sticky note! Reading through the results and feedback has really helped me see how I can flip my Psych class too, which is the next step that I really want to take :) Thank you so much for being so honest and putting your true thoughts and feelings out there. It is incredibly helpful.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16789324068005257975noreply@blogger.com
