Happy Thanksgiving, Friends!
A few weeks ago I wrote about the Complete Cloze Game, a predictive puzzle game for any text. Well, our friend Steve over at Flippity.net took that idea and made it even better and easier to use! He created us a Flippity to do all the hard work for us! And it’s FREE 🎉🎉🎉It is SO COOL and there’s so much I wanted to show you, I thought a quick video tutorial would be the quickest way to catch you up to speed, so I can get back to prepping for Thanksgiving!
For details on how we play in class, this post has everything you need to know! And if you’d like to play around with it, here’s the link for my example above.
Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving, family fun, delicious food and a restful break!🦃❤️️
UPDATE: I heard the iconic ding, ding, ding next door during my prep and I ran over to grab this video of my incredible colleague (and former student!), Jared Mora, using Flippity’s CLOZE with his Spanish 1 class. Can you believe how much Spanish he’s able to use, after just 3.5 months with his Little Darlings?! I love that he’s spelling out the words as he types them into Flippity. He’s a Rock Star and I am so excited for his debut on the blogcito:

I tried to post a comment on your blog, but it said it didn’t work, so just in case, here is what I wrote… and you can feel free to post it on the blog, if you want.
The first time I saw this idea, I immediately set up a version on my own. It took me forever. This was SO much faster with flippity and so much more engaging and easier to present to the class.
Your ideas continue to astound me. I would love to spend a day in the brain of Senora Chase! Whenever I am in a rut or need a new idea, I always go first to your website (even before AI!). You are the most valuable PD I have ever had. Thank you!
I recently redid my timed writing to include some ideas I have heard from my WL podcasts, such as Motivated Classroom, Practical Proficiency and WL Classroom. Timed writing https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/12lqHcOr4uF1JiI7oIBKwqLQjWcFBagWWjXUEDsLx8oM/edit?usp=sharing suziedavisprof@gmail.com

Looking forward to trying this, but I am wondering how you handle typing in words that have accents when students are guessing. I’d like to try this with a text in past tense, but there are many accents that would obviously need to be there. I know I can click on the words to have them appear when students guess them, but then they don’t show up on the side with the number of times it appears. How did you manage this when you tried it with your students?

I think it should work…When I did it with my online class, I just typed in the accents and they appeared in the text.
