A Flipped-Classroom Video

 For this week's assignment, I worked with my classmates; Hüseyin Can Hacıoğlu, Emir Erdinç and Eylül Emeksiz to create a visual and interactive lesson based on the 5th grade MEB English Coursebook, a flipped-classroom experience.

A flipped classroom experience is basically when students are given access to material before the class so they are familiarized with the content beforehand.

This method can be very beneficial in the right circumstances, students coming in the class prepared with background knowledge will make the class easier and more effective for both the students and teachers.

Although, without resources like devices and internet access in the students' homes, this method becomes harder to implement. This problem can be solved by utilizing the schools' computers, allowing students to perform post-class learning instead of pre-class learning.

We chose the 3rd unit, "Games and Hobbies", which we found suitable for 5th graders as they are young and energetic kids, who would find such activities engaging.

Our video explains each hobby briefly, followed by a worksheet and in-class speaking / feedback. Students will have access to all materials so they can revise and practice at school or home.

On top of the pre-class learning, students will again watch the video in class to reinforce their knowledge and clear any confusion. After that, they will complete a worksheet to assess their knowledge, and engage in speaking activities.

We used Canva to create a visually appealing template, which we later added our own voice-overs. We preferred Canva for this assignment because of its ease of use, user-friendly interface and its wide array of visuals.

I provided the material and a link for the
