Individual Work
On the final day of outlining, I implemented the “flipped classroom” model, where the students serve as the teachers and are truly the ones in charge of the learning. Students were given the following section - "The Technology of Ships and Navigation" - to read and outline about the new technological developments that made exploration possible. They were allowed to work by themselves or with a partner. Some students were really engaged and worked hard on their outlines, while some invariably were not able to produce an appropriate outline. Below are some of the examples of outlines that I received that will be discussed in greater detail in the section on Implementing the Lesson on Exploration, Part III.
