Jacklyn - I use it for literature as well.  What specifically are you looking for?

I have used this for lit by having students submit their ideas online and then I go over the quotes in a powerpoint and add class discussion/notes. If you print an outline view, you can put 3 slides on a sheet with notes on the side. Then I can narrate it as a podcast and upload it for the students to review later.

This looks great! Will this be a year-long course? Semester? Thanks for sharing with us.

I am putting together an American Lit class that will be used for both online teaching and a flipped in-person classroom.

discussion = forum

background/lecture/notes = video, Prezi, pencast

annotation = regular in-book, Prezi, online dialectical journal

formative assessments/check-ins = quizzes (mastery learning), journals, discussions

Think 1-3 resources per module, checklist, learning objectives - I am working backwards from the standards.

Also, identify 2.0 tools like VoiceThread, Prezi, Google Docs, etc. that can be used for feedback.

A Module rough draft is below. :)

Welcome to the beginning of Unit one!
 Our main literary focus in this unit will be poetry and music from across the United States.  We will begin with some basic poetry analysis, interspersed with some creative writing assignments to help us get to know one another better.Have fun! Learn lots!

Overview
    Prezi w/ videos - basics of poetry analysis
    Quiz - basics of poetry analysis
    Discussion - what is your favorite song? give some quotes from it and explain     why you identify with it
     VoiceThread- Guided practice annotating and analysing
        teacher analyses one poem - students do others and then we share our         work
    Prezi - basics of analysis Soapstone Prezi
    Quiz - basic steps of nonfiction analysis

Read and annotate de Tocqueville
    Discussion - concepts in de Tocqueville
    Writing assignment - What does America mean to you?
    Using George Ella Lyon’s poem as your inspiration, compile a list of specifics that     reveal your roots. Specificity is the key – exact things, places, traditions,     sayings…Let where and what and who you are from reveal how you have     become who you are now.
    VoiceThread - guided practice visual rhetorical analysis with photo from PBS     (http://www.pbs.org/ktca/americanphotography/features/social.html)

I know this may be a little late for posts to this thread but I am also a high school English teacher looking for collaboration using the flipped model. I have been using videos to teach writing and grammar this past school year and just started creating my own videos. I'm wanting to hear how other hs English teachers are using flipping in English class besides grammar and writing instruction. Anyone using it for literature? If so, how? Thanks!

I love that there is a number of us out there willing to collaborate. Anyone have any ideas on the best way to do this? Email? Wickispaces? Or this site?

I am interested in collaboration.  I teach 7th and 8th Accelerated English and 7th and 8th Literature.  I'm not concerned about my Literature classes.  However, for my English classes, I estimate I'm going to need 30-40 videos to get through the first two months.  I have recruited some former students to make a few of the videos for me.  Some of them I've taught enough times that I can ad lib the vodcast and bang them out quickly.  I'd like some collaboration on others, especially things like grammar and mechanics, but am open to all suggestions.  If you would be interested in discussing how we can collaborate on some vodcasts, let me know.

 

Last school year, I worked with a teacher in another state whom I had never met (except through twitter) on a compare and contrast essay.   We had our kids collaborate on a wiki and then write a compare/contrast essay about our two schools.  Her and I skyped prior to setting up the whole project and I wish I would have recorded that.  Because, even though we hadn't met, we shared ideas of what we had in mind for a compare and contrast essay and learned a lot from each other.  So, I'm open to skyping a vodcast together or sharing our individual vodcasts.

I am a high school English teacher and I have flipped. I call it the blended classroom. Would love to alk and share.

Comment by terriehamilton on June 22, 2011 at 6:58am

I would love to collaborate. I have been feeling overwhelmed with creating the vodcast. Any other high school teachers interested?
