3. Why flip anyway?
 Increased Class Sizes
 Not enough Class Time
 Was addressing the entire group instead of
individual needs
 Students getting stuck at home and just giving
up

4. The main course:
 Every flip lesson is centered around a video
covering the basic material. For my class, this
is the vocabulary and problem examples. It is
the lecture portion of the lesson.
 Students can go back for seconds or thirds!
 Extra resources if you don’t get it
 Ability to rewind and hear it again
 Students that move quickly can go on, while
students that move slower can take their time
without others waiting.

5. Choose your toppings!

videos as homework!

6. Every picnic needs activities!
 Foldables/Study Guides
 Manipulatives
 Hands on activities/real world connections
