The Melis Approach

 Hello, Dear Readers! I am here with another assignment, an AI integrated ASSURE  lesson plan and worksheet ! We did this together again with my partners in crime, Buse , Elena and Berfin . The process of creation was fun and easy, since we have great synergy with eachother as a team! We created a worksheet first, and started with a word sorting activity according to the sounds they feature! Then, we asked students to generate 3 tongue twisters with the help of Magic School . To check their pronunciations, we asked students to record themselves saying the tongue twisters via Vocaroo , and send the recordings to ChatGpt to get feedback. After that, they will reflect on the feedback given by AI, and improve their pronunciation.  As many of you know, normally, I would go on and on about how much I HATE AI, ESPECIALLY givving our voices and information to it. However, I will not do it now to not exceed the word limit, and to not bore you with repetitive content. Just know t...

  Hello, dear readers! Me and my partners in crime Buse , Elena and Berfin are here once again with a new project! This time, we designed a flipped classroom lesson based on the Simple Present Tense! The lesson includes a video and a variety of activities! We keep on making projects together and god, it really seems like we cannot get a proper rest. We were all so tired, but the results were worth it (p.s: I do hope that the score we will get will also be worth it as well!)! The designing process was fun, but also very time consuming and tiring. We began the work by preparing our lesson plan based on the ASSURE model. We then continued our work by designing the slides which were used in the video with Canva . Then, we prepared a worksheet for the students to solve on the same application again. After that, we prepared an interactive quiz with the help of Kahoot! We recorded the video with OBS Studio , used CapCut for editing and used Vocaroo for voice recording! You can click ...

 Hello dear readers! This is the first material assignment of this year and I am very exhausted already! Me and my dearest friends Buse , Berfin and Elena made an AI enhanced Corpus based material together, but the timing of the assignment was...Not very well thought and student friendly, to say the least. We made a lesson plan, which you can check by tapping here , and a four page digital worksheet, which you can access by tapping here ! We made the worksheet via Canva , prepared the lesson plan with Google Docs ! Now, let's talk about the contents of the material, and discuss about its effectiveness! The material was created according to the ASSURE and DDL (Data Driven Learning) education models! The ASSURE model is basically an educative method that helps teachers choose materials and adapt lesson plans successfully according to the features of the class they are working with. Meanwhile DDL encourages students to discover the subject themselves, treating language like data. Th...

 Hello, dear readers! Our proffesor has given us the task to chat with an AI chatbot from The Magic School  ,which takes the figure of a historical figure or a book character, write a report on the converstion, and lastly, to give the report to the writing feedback tool created by the same company, get feedback and rewrite the report according to the feedbacks! I chose to converse with The Phantom, Erik, from The Phantom of the Opera, written by Gaston Leroux. He is one of my favorite book charaters. I asked him some questions about the French culture in the era that the book takes place in.  After questioning I got into writing, made my first draft, gave it to the feedback tool and made some adjustments to my report. However, I have to admit that most of the feedback I received did not seem relevant to me, so I did not use them. You can see the transcript of the conversation, both drafts of my report and the feedback I received by clicking here !  While I was chatti...

 Hello, dear readers! Me and my friends Buse and Gülşen  did a film review on Dead Poets Society and our peers Elena , Berfin and Baran expressed their opinions on it, you can access each of their blogs by tapping on their names! The task was assigned to us by our professor, she asked us to review a film by first introducing its background and then continuing with a plot summary. After that, we were assigned to choose 3 aspects of the movie such as music, costumes, actor choices etc. Lastly we gave our last ideas and rated the movie. I worked in the first paragraph, decoration and also the aspects part! Also, you can have access to the review page to take a look for yourself by clicking here ! Here is a screenshot of the review page and one of the comments from my peers! I suggest checking the full page because there are over 5 comments and I am afraid that if i share all of them here, the post will be unnecessarily long! With my teammates, we first re-watched the movie, th...

Hello, dear readers! Me and my dearest friend, Buse Beyaz , have created a digital story like our professor has assigned us to do! We used Vimeo to upload it, and have embedded the link here  for you to watch! The story is about a planet trying to reach the brightest star in the universe! Our intention was to teach young children about the planet names and how far they are from the sun. The first part is drawn by me (I know I am not very skilled in digital drawing, but I tried my best, sorry if it looks bad!) , and the second part is drawn by my friend! My friend is really skilled and I absolutely adore how we can see the emotion in every scene! Of course, this task has its own difficulties. We (especially I) struggled a lot with animating characters so we chose not to, however we also did not want to use character creating websites because we wanted to make something more special and something which we could make a memory out of! I loved this task and I also loved how it made me ...
