One mourning while Juli was up in the tree she saw a bunch of construction workers with saws so she stayed up in the tree for a whole day then finally they got her dad to come and get her. The next few days she was very depressed so she did not go to school for a few days and when she got back to school she was all over Bryce again. After a year or two she started raising chickens and she kept on giving eggs to Bryce's family, but as soon as she would leave he would grab the eggs and throw them away. He did this because his father was very disapproving of Juli's family and their messy yard, and he felt the eggs might have salmonella in them. Then one mourning she decided to stay on the porch and when he came to throw the eggs out she found out and she got so mad she promised to herself that she would never talk to him again. During this time Juli began to become close to Bryce's grandpa, Chet. He was very wise and taught Juli many lessons about life like that there is usually more to a person than what meets the eye. He also helped her build a fence, as she was fixing up her family's yard. While Juli's family was odd and poor, they were all very happy and caring to each other.

  • A Flipped Classroom: Argument Analysis Research Paper

    ...Revision - ENG1021 April 18, 2012 A Flipped Classroom: Argument Analysis During class reviewing the three argumentative strategies, Classical, Toulmin, and Rogerian, each of them differed from one another. For this research project an article that seemed like a Classical argumentative style paper. Though it being Classical was fairly successful then again it could also pass for Toulmin’s argumentative style because of how the conclusion was thought out and written. With Classical, you have the refutation, which means the author is discussing the other side of the argument, “But the ideas behind flipping are not brand new…” (Tucker) While with Toulmin, they have the optional components of backing, rebuttal, and the qualifier which these components reside in the last four paragraphs of Tucker. In knowing all of these components, Tucker’s article concluded that it could possibly pass for both styles. Also with both components of these argumentative styles practically meaning the same, Tucker states that “It seems almost certain that instructional videos, interactive simulations, and yet-to-be-dreamed- up online tools will continue to multiply.” Given the quote it could be the refutation in Classical or the rebuttal and qualifier in Toulmin’s. The central argument was about how these two high school science teachers struggled with the time to reteach their lessons to students who were absent. This argument was presented and defended pretty well. For the...

  • Flipped Essay

    ...As he presents a painting of her beloved sycamore tree, Juli’s dad tells her, “I want the spirit of that tree to be with you always. I want you to remember how you felt when you were up there.” The sycamore tree means so much to Juli that her eyes fill with tears when she sees the painting, and, throughout Wendelin Van Draanen’s book Flipped, the sycamore tree is full of meaning. In Flipped, the sycamore tree symbolizes multiple points in the development of Juli’s character. In the sycamore tree, Juli gains courage and determination, a new perspective, and understanding that a whole is greater than the sum of its parts. In the beginning, the sycamore tree is simply a place where Juli and her brothers play, but it becomes a place that tests and proves Juli’s courage and determination. One day, a stray lucky kite caught high in the branches pushes Juli to new limits. Though she has never climbed so high before, she keeps her focus on the kite, keeps climbing, and succeeds in rescuing the kite and returning it to Bryce. Later, Juli encounters another test of courage when she realizes from her perch high in the tree that a crew is waiting to cut it down. Juli refuses to come down and shows her courage and determination in trying to save her tree. Even after the sycamore tree is gone, it remains important in Juli’s life and thoughts as a symbol of her change in perspective. Juli first experiences a change of perspective from the high branches of the...

  • Essay on how we flipped the medical classroom

    ...2014, 1–4, Early Online HOW WE. . . How we flipped the medical classroom NEEL SHARMA1, C. S. LAU2, IAIN DOHERTY2 & DARREN HARBUTT2 1 National University Hospital, Singapore, 2The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Med Teach Downloaded from informahealthcare.com by Dr. Tanzeela Khalid on 07/17/14 For personal use only. Abstract Flipping the classroom centres on the delivery of print, audio or video based material prior to a lecture or class session. The class session is then dedicated to more active learning processes with application of knowledge through problem solving or case based scenarios. The rationale behind this approach is that teachers can spend their face-to-face time supporting students in deeper learning processes. In this paper we provide a background literature review on the flipped classroom along with a three step approach to flipping the classroom comprising implementing, enacting and evaluating this form of pedagogy. Our three step approach is based on actual experience of delivering a flipped classroom at the University of Hong Kong. This initiative was evaluated with positive results. We hope our experience will be transferable to other medical institutions. Introduction Flipping the classroom centres on the delivery of print-, audioor video-based material prior to a lecture or class session.
