The 5 E's by Whitney Johnson https://padlet.com/whittyred1/7ubm55n0p00n en-us 2018-09-05 00:11:30 UTC 2018-09-05 15:40:59 UTC hello@padlet.com Grab their Attention! whittyred1 https://padlet.com/whittyred1/7ubm55n0p00n/wish/277791920 Engaging our students is important for their learning. When they become interested in something they are more likely to pay attention and participate. This can be a simple as pulling out snake skin and asking, "What creature do you think shed this skin and why did they do it?" A question at the beginning will keep them actively seeking for an answer while researching. ]]> 2018-09-05 00:14:00 UTC https://padlet.com/whittyred1/7ubm55n0p00n/wish/277791920 Let them Discover! whittyred1 https://padlet.com/whittyred1/7ubm55n0p00n/wish/278012001 This stage gives students the freedom of exploring how something works or what something is. By giving them the engage question with the snake skin, students can then look through books provided on snakes, websites, and videos selected by the teacher. Allow students to test a problem, develop a hypotheses, and pose real questions. ]]> 2018-09-05 14:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/whittyred1/7ubm55n0p00n/wish/278012001 Let them Talk! whittyred1 https://padlet.com/whittyred1/7ubm55n0p00n/wish/278016458 This is the time your students have to explain their findings. Have them start discussions with their peers. Keep asking them questions to help them with their understanding and explanations of the concept. Let them show you what they have learned. ]]> 2018-09-05 15:01:20 UTC https://padlet.com/whittyred1/7ubm55n0p00n/wish/278016458 Make Connections! whittyred1 https://padlet.com/whittyred1/7ubm55n0p00n/wish/278026838 Instead of moving on after the explanation stage, get them to connect their findings with related topics. Have them think about other animals that shed their skin. Make connections to shedding skin with ways humans grow. ]]> 2018-09-05 15:18:22 UTC https://padlet.com/whittyred1/7ubm55n0p00n/wish/278026838 Check their Knowledge! whittyred1 https://padlet.com/whittyred1/7ubm55n0p00n/wish/278038386 This final stage can take place during the entire process. Check for understanding from the student. Answer any lingering questions and concerns. The teacher can provide a scenario that requires the student to use their new knowledge. Make sure your students know the concept you were trying to teach. ]]> 2018-09-05 15:36:20 UTC https://padlet.com/whittyred1/7ubm55n0p00n/wish/278038386
