3 Instructor: Dr. Mark D. Futato Phone: Dates: September 10 December 22 I have prepared two short videos to introduce students to the course (2:55) and to Canvas (3:49). Canvas is the course management utility we will be utilizing for Hebrew 1 and 2. You can view them here: SUMMARY OF DUE DATES For a summary of due dates go to Canvas and click on Syllabus on the left Navigation pane (not syllabus on the Home Page).

FLIPPED CLASSROOM OR FLIP TEACHING WHAT IS IT? In a flipped classroom, also known as flip teaching, we flip what is done in class and at home. You study the grammar on your own before coming to class by watching video clips that I have produced, and then we use class time to do your homework. The video clips are available on Canvas at Modules. 2 Dr. Mark D. Futato Hebrew 1

4 HOW WILL WE APPLY IT? Before each class: You will watch the videos. Watching the videos is essential to your leaning experience, as I will not spend time in class explaining the grammar lesson, as is traditionally done. Not watching the videos ahead of time is like skipping class. You will memorize the new Vocabulary. You will study Practice. Work through the Practice section of the grammar. You will write down questions. Write down any questions that you have after watching the videos and working through Practice. In class: You will raise questions that you have from watching the videos and working through Practice in the grammar. I will drill you on the grammar to make sure that you have assimilated the grammar. We will work through Practice together. REQUIREMENTS TEXTS Futato, Mark D. Beginning Biblical Hebrew.
