Five E Lesson Overview:
Overview of the 5 E Model of Instruction
ENGAGE
Description: Introductory lessons should stimulate curiosity and activate prior student knowledge. The activity should be a problem or an event that raises questions and motivates students to discover more about the concept.
Link to cognition: Students bring knowledge about how the world works but it is sometimes based on limited experiences and sometimes on misconceptions.
Guiding Questions:
• How will the teacher capture students’ interest?
• What kind of questions should the students ask themselves after the engagement?
EXPLORE
Description: Students need the opportunity to actively explore the concept in a hands-on activity. This establishes a commonly shared classroom experience and allows students to share ideas about the concept.
Link to cognition: Experiences occur before the explanations! Students are actively engaged with little explanation from the teachers. Students acquire a common set of concrete experiences allowing them to help each other understand the concept through social interaction.
Guiding Questions:
• What hands-on/minds-on activities will students be doing?
• What are the “big idea” conceptual questions that the teacher will use to encourage and/or focus students’ exploration?
EXPLAIN
Description: Teachers use questioning strategies to lead students’ discussion of information discovered during the Explore stage. Teachers introduce new scientific terms and explanations at appropriate times during the discussion.
Link to cognition: When students engage in meaningful discussions with other students and the teacher, they can pool their explanations based on observations, construct new understandings, and have a clear focus for additional learning.
Guiding Questions:
• What questions or techniques will the teacher use to help students connect their exploration to the concept under examination?
• What are the higher order thinking questions which teachers will use to solicit student explanations and help them to justify their explanations?
ELABORATE
Description: Students are encouraged to apply, extend, and enhance the new concept and related terms during interaction with the teacher and other students.
Link to cognition: Providing additional active learning opportunities for students to incorporate into their mental construct of the concept allows them to confirm and expand their understanding.
Guiding Questions:
• How will students develop a more sophisticated understanding of the concept?
• What vocabulary will be introduced and how will it connect to students’ observations?
• How is this knowledge applied in our daily lives?
EVALUATE
Description: Students demonstrate their understanding of the concept.
Link to cognition: In learner-centered instruction, it is important for students to be aware of their own progress as an outcome of instruction. Students construct knowledge over time and may need additional experiences to refine their understanding of the concept.
Guiding Questions:
• How will students demonstrate that they have achieved the lesson objective?
• How will evaluation be embedded throughout the lesson as well as at the end of the lesson?
I like the format of 5 E lesson. It is a great way to engage the students in the science lesson especially. This model and description listed above are very helpful guidelines to help write a 5 E lesson plan. I like that this class uses Google docs and that I got to evaluate a 5 E lesson plan that Dr. Smirnova did. I feel that it is sometimes easier to give advice to someone else about their lesson plan then to write your own lesson plan especially if you have never really experienced using this model. I am glad that Dr. Smirnova gave me feedback on my lesson plan and I feel more confident in what is being asked and what a 5 E lesson plan requires. I feel like I understand how to write a 5 E lesson plan now. I think that the 5 E lesson plan model is important to know and to use in the lesson. It is important to engage, elaborate, explain, evaluate, and explore.To engage students in the lesson the lesson has to be fun. The lesson has to reach each students' level and as a teacher you need to make sure that all the students understand what is being taught. To explore could be through an activity, experiment both hands-on and non-hands-on. It is important as a teacher to explain so that every students knows what they are doing and also so that every students understands what the student needs to know in order to do the activity. Evaluation can come in many forms for students like giving a test or have the students do a project/ presentation based on the topic or unit you as the teacher are teaching to see how much the students have learned obtained throughout the unit and lessons of the unit. It is important to elaborate and explain in great detail when teaching a unit. It does not hurt to show examples and possible show a video. Students have different ways of learning and to make sure that each students understands the topic, it is our job as teachers to elaborate and go to all lengths to make sure that the students understand what is happening. The 5 E lesson plan is very good to use in science and it good to use in an inquiry lesson plan which can be done after doing direct instruction. This model is a higher way of learning. The 5 E lesson plan is done in science and I like the components or the 5 Es that the lesson plan is composed of. It is interesting to use the 5 E lesson elements and it just goes to show that science has a different way of teaching and more experimental lesson plan that is more hands-on. The 5 E lesson plan is very important to use and to know the 5Es.
