The 5 E model

I think the 5 E model (engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate) is a very good model for teachers to use in their instruction. I think it gives a very good structure for teachers to follow. I think using this model gets children involved and interested in the material and are more likely to actually learn and understand that content area. I feel children do need to engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate the material. I think this model forces students to really work with the material and make connections to their own lives.
