STOP BULLYING!!! Hello, every being with a heartbeat! How are you? I've been fine, but this new project of mine made me a little upset. Today's topic is something that almost every single human being experiences at least once in their life. Bullying. The Merriam-Webster dictionary describes bullying as the abuse and mistreatment of someone vulnerable by someone stronger, more powerful, etc. As we were given a task in our class, we chose to raise awareness about this issue. The task was to create a video that was telling about something. Our options were making a PSA, explaining how a thing is made, or making up our own story.

Flipping the Classroom??? Hello. every being with a heartbeat. How are you? I have been working non-stop for a while and now that it is New years I will have a little rest :) Today I will tell you about flipped classrooms and what my friends and I have done as an example of it bu t first of all, let me explain what a flipped classroom is.

I'm Not Crying....You Are! Hello for the last time, again, every being with a heartbeat. I hope you are doing well. Dress tight, drink lots of water, and relax a bit. It's break time. We gathered here again to say our goodbyes. I have had amazing times writing for you and explaining things to you. It has been a short journey this time, yet it was filled to the brim, I believe. This year, I created posts for my Current Issues in English teaching class. This class was not really what I expected.
