As I have been listening to other teachers talk about the flipped classroom, I have tried a little class experiment which I think I like and is more successful.  I decided to make this change because when I give students class time to read an article, etc. they are not on task and waste time.  Too often worksheets are copied from one person to another and are very time consuming to grade and not necessarily indicative of learning happening.  So....

Now I have done this twice and think I will continue for the balance of this semester.  They have a powerpoint or  reading to take directed notes on.  We review the material briefly the next day and then they get a practice quiz on the material.  I use the practice quiz for their practice part of the grade instead of the worksheets.

Advantages: easier for me to grade
                     instantly know what to reteach the next day
                     forces the issue of notetaking

I am positively reinforcing notetaking by giving out tickets for a drawing at the end of the semester to students who can correctly answer questions during discussion using their notes.  They are NOT for quiz scores.

If this continues to be good, I plan to restructure my whole class to this next semester.
