A close look at some flipping students' work

9/22/2018

 
         A commenter asked me to provide anonymous examples of student work from the first "real" flipped video of the year [Tuesday's blog post]. So here you go! 
         Background: students got a handout & online assignment, both of which had these 3 questions and the chart. The video is 
about 12 1/2 minutes long.

Below I have scanned two different students' quiz responses.
I considered both of these to be proficient. You will notice less detail by the student on the right, but she has a document disability and an IEP. Therefore I modified expectations so she could get full credit for less written output. Clearly she is on the right track, even though technically she only wrote one difference for #4.
The two quiz sheets below were written by the same boy. 
        On Tuesday, he was clear about Hobbes and Locke, but not so much about Rousseau. "he thought there should be consequences for people's actions" does not really fit that philosopher's notions of democracy. I checked his notes (which I made them submit with the finished quiz, but they could not see them during the quiz) and saw the same vague reference to consequences. His temporary score was 50%, and I prompted this student to rewatch the Rousseau section (last 4-5 minutes of the video) before the retake.
        We had no school on Wednesday because of Yom Kippur, so the 2nd attempt could not happen until Thursday.
        Usually I make students retry the entire quiz, but in this case I decided his Hobbes and Locke answers were so strong that I would reward him by only requiring #3 and #5. I think you can see that his Sept. 20 responses are much better! New score = 85%.
Hope this helps!

    Who is this flipping guy?!

       Andrew Swan is in year 20  of teaching middle school (currently grade 8 US Civics/Government in a Boston suburb). Previously he taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grade English, US History, geography, and ancient history in Massachusetts and Maine. 
      For the past 6 years, Andrew has flipped nearly all his direct instruction so we have more class time for simulations, deep discussions, analyzing primary sources, etc. ... and also to promote mastery for students at all levels.
      His wonderful wife and his 2 high school-age children indulge Andrew's blogging, tweeting, & other behaviors. These include co-moderating the #sschat Twitter sessions and Facebook page. 
      ​
    Andrew does not always refer to himself in the third-person.
