4. Objective: Combining 4 essential motivation factors ICT:
collaboration,
content creation,
online publishing,
Fun and engaging activities,
Authentic communication,
Learning with one’s peers AND experts.

5. My definition of the flipped classroom
Concept which allows teachers to share resources with their pupils and to collaborate easily with teachers from umpteen countries, which gives the students an opportunity to study at their pace, to study differently depending on their learning styles (different types of resources are offered), which permits them to work in groups and help each other, build their own learning and go further than they would have in a traditional class. For instance…

6. What’s the flipped classroom? Studying drama and prose
Drama Padlet
A Streetcar Named Desire
Flipped classroom
The Great Gatsby
Shakespeare
Hamlet
Death of a Salesman

7. Different documents  leads to information gap in class.
HOMEWORK
SCHOOLWORK
Studying 5 texts/videos in groups of 4 students maximum (reading and listening skills) while making notes.
Different documents  leads to information gap in class.
Studying a video (Ted Ed video for instance) with varied tasks to complete before class.
Sharing information on a topic (each group gives a short talk), the peers ask questions/interact.
Alternately, each group can write a short article on
Fodey (speaking, writing skills).
Discussing the answers and debating about the video. Explaining what was not understood.
Going further.

Building Bridges: From 3e Inter to 2nde OIB
In this project, four international sections will come together to build links. This project focuses on the difficult steps of transitioning from a 3e International Section (British, in our case) to a 2nde OIB section (one American, one British in this project). We will ask our students to talk about their fears and expectations, to give each other good advice for preparing for the 'next step', and discussing reading and the reading process, an essential part of the work we do in the section.
