Due to technical issues beyond my control, the "flipping the classroom" video project has been back-burnered. Unfortunately, the speed of the FCSS server is slower than I had hoped and that issue combined with the variable speeds of students' home internet connections made viewing the video impossible for many students. Therefore, students will NOT be held accountable for the assignment I had originally proposed.
First: Don't forget to study for your quiz tomorrow on coordinating and subordinating conjunctions! You must be able to list them all on a sheet of paper (see yesterday's post below).
In class today, I discussed that I had recently read some research regarding a practice called "flipping the classroom." It is a technique in which teachers deliver lessons during homework time, and students partake in assignments during classroom time hereby "flipping" the times we are generally accustomed to using for teaching and classwork. In order to make this possible, students will be required to watch instructional videos of me teaching from home. Students reacted very positively to this concept in class today when I showed a sample video in class.
It may take a little while for the video to load on yoru computer, but here is a link: CLICK HERE.

3-On your Kinds of Sentences page in your Mead 5-Star, copy (from the video) down the definitions for each type of sentence.
