    Back in the classroom : the students get an exercise sheet. The teacher can walk around and give some help or extra explanations if needed.
Notes:
About the video : My first idea was to film my own lesson and set it as homework. I didn't do it because I was running out of time. This one is very interesting. I would also like to share some ideas about the flipped classroom, or at least ask some questions. When thinking of "filming myself teaching" I realized how eye contact with my students is important to me. So I must say I would like to try a flipped classroom activity but I reckon this would feel a bit strange to me. I'm attaching two links for more detailed information about the flipped classroom. About the topic : It seems to me that families, fathers, mothers can be a sensitive topic for some students, for example for those whose parents are divorced, or those who've lost one of their parents.
