Discussion About the Flipped Classroom, plus How It Can Be Implemented in English Class in High School
This afternoon I was invited to go back to NHSH to have a talk with a few English teachers. The workshop was divided into two parts. In the first part, I used an excerpt of the article from Wikipedia on the flipped classroom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip_teaching) as the text to demonstrate how I used to teach reading so that I could introduce this teaching approach at the same time. In the second part, we brainstormed how to apply "the flipped classroom" approach to teach Martin Luther King's historic speech "I Have a Dream."
The attendees were Melody (陳美麗老師), Chris (林詠梅老師), Ching-ru (戴靜燸老師), and Crystal (黃心如老師). They are referred to as "students" in the first part below.

An English Learning Activity Welcomed by Students--Jokes
The first time I used this activity, I told my students, "A joke a day keeps the doctor away." They laughed. I started by writing the vocabulary words on the blackboard and pre-taught them. Then I told the joke. Sometimes I read a joke from a book or a magazine, such as Reader's Digest.
