Introduction
In this Web Quest, you will learn how to create a five E lesson plan. These questions will be answered:
What are the five E's?
What is the process of creating this lesson plan?
Why do we use this model?
Task
In this Web Quest, you will learn what a five E lesson plan is and how to create one. You will understand what each E represents and realize the usefulness of this model.
Process
You will create a five E lesson plan of your own.
Start by reading this article: http://enhancinged.wgbh.org/research/eeeee.html
You will then study some five E lessons created by other teachers: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/419749627745645912/
You will pick a type of lesson you want to teach and research an activity to use.
Once this is decided, you will use this template to create your own five E lesson using the first example: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/419749627745645912/
Follow these steps when creating your five E lesson:
1. Research a way to engage students. Think of what would engage you. Make sure this engagement connects to your lesson topic.
2. Think of an activity that can be applied to your topic so the students can explore. Make sure it maintains engagement and helps teach the topic of your choice.
3. Formulate a way to explain to the students what they have just explored. Consider using this time to ask basic questions of explore phase and encourage student involvement.
4. How can you make this lesson more in depth? Now that the general topic is explored and discussed, find a way to challenge your students understanding whether it's adding another variable or using bigger numbers. Describe your decision in the elaborate portion of the template.
5. Find the best way to evaluate your students. Make this assessment creative and reasonable.
Note: Try to incorporate technology whenever possible and make sure you know the timing of each E.
