Before we start...

  1. Learn about the flipped classroom.

  2. Register in TopWorksheets.

    		 Bring your mobile phone to class next day to register as a user in TopWorksheets.

  3. Write a greeting.

    If the virtual classroom is not ready yet, you can use this TopWorksheet
    You can revise and correct any mistakes in your composition before you post it.
    If you are using AI and don't understand why you made a mistake, or you think the AI may be wrong, ask your teacher.

  5. Review your mistakes.

    		 Review some of the mistakes you or your classmates made in your compositions.

    6. Why do this?

    Learning a language (even your own langugage) is a constant process of trial and error. Errors must not discourage you, but you must pay attention to identify and correct them, in order to learn to avoid them in the future.

    Don't feel frustrated by repeated or basic errors: some basic things like using "his" and "her" or the final -s will probably cause you trouble all your life when speaking English. The important thing is being able to avoid them when writing. If you get used to looking out for these mistakes when writing, you will find it a bit easier to avoid them (or correct them) when speaking, too.
