FLIPPED CLASSROOMS PART 2

  Hello everyone!      This week I’m back with the second part of my flipped classroom Project. The first part, as you know was about vocabulary but this time it is about grammar. Beyza and I prepared this as we did in the previous video in general.      First we chose a grammar topic from the preparatory book that we used as an example and then searched for appropriate examples. We designed the examples that we'd show in the video on Canva . We recorded our own parts and tried to make some adjustments to our sounds via Audacity . Finally, we used Animaker to add animation and combine all our material to make a video.      Learning grammar rules can be more difficult for students than learning vocabulary.

Based on my own experience, I think the site should make some improvements. Another challenge we encountered is that my pair and I are in different places, so we recorded our voices on different tools. This caused our sound qualities to differ. We
