HOW THE AP EURO CLASS IS RUN
Therefore, this class is run primarily as a "flipped classroom."
In a traditional classroom,
the teacher's role is the "sage on the stage;"
in the flipped classroom,
the teacher's role is the "guide on the side."
Students are expected to take responsibility for their learning by reading/outlining/watching BEFORE coming to class.
