My Learning Journey

UNIT 4: REVISITING EDPUZZLE

1. Create 5 questions based on the video

1. What is the smallest country in Europe? [0:42] 

2. Europe is the                 smallest of the continents, but for its                        , it takes third place behind Asia and Africa. [0:21 - 0:28]

3. What is the largest island in the world? [0:37]

4. What is the smallest nation in the world? [0:39]

5. What is the biggest amphitheater in the world? [1:48]

2. A word that my pupils may have difficulties comprehending and suggested solutions.

• continent

• To effectively teach the word "continent", use a multi-sensory approach that combines visual aids, hands-on activities, and memorization technique.

• civilization

• population

3. Based on the previous video, choose the appropriate content standard, focus and learning standard that you can use to utilize the video for a lesson. Justify your choice.

Content Standard:

Main: 

3.2 Understand a variety of linear and non-linear print and digital texts by using appropriate reading strategies 

Complementary: 

4.3 Communicate with appropriate language form and style for a range of purposes in print and digital media

Learning Standard:

Main: 

3.2.2 Understand specific information and details of short simple texts

Complementary: 

4.3.3 Plan, draft and write an increased range of simple sentences 

4. My 'before class' activity plan for the Edpuzzle quiz I created.

As part of my flipped learning approach, I designed a ‘before class's activity centered around an Edpuzzle quiz on Telling Time, aimed at helping students grasp the basic concepts of reading analog clocks. This activity is designed to lay the foundation for a more interactive, hands-on lesson during class.

Purpose and Goals

The goal of this pre-class activity was to introduce students to the concept of telling time on analog clocks, focusing on recognizing the hour and minute hands and understanding how to read time to the hour and half-hour. By engaging with the content before class, students could come in better prepared for in-depth practice and games that reinforced these skills.

Video Content and Design

I selected a short, age-appropriate instructional video that visually demonstrated how to tell time. To make the video interactive and more engaging, I embedded multiple-choice and open-ended questions using Edpuzzle. These questions were strategically placed throughout the video to check for understanding, highlight key concepts (like distinguishing the hour hand from the minute hand), and encourage students to think rather than passively watch.

Here’s how I structured the Edpuzzle quiz:

• Beginning of video: A welcoming note from the teacher.

• Middle: A pause with a multiple choice questions, asking students to read a clock showing a specific time 

• End: A short reflection question asking, “What part of telling time do you find easiest or hardest?”

Instructions for Students

I posted clear instructions along with the Edpuzzle link on our learning platform. I asked students to:

1. Watch the video once without skipping.

2. Try their best to answer all embedded questions.

3. Come to class with one question or observation about telling time.

This structure helped guide their attention and encouraged a mindset of curiosity and self-reflection.
