With 5-E's

Review of the 5-E's

Engage -   Briefly reveals students prior knowledge

Explore -  Allows students to begin to articulate the new concept in their own words as a result of actively interacting with the materials and other students who have experience the same materials (usually hands-on, demo, or exploring a model)

Explain - Teachers use various strategies to encourage student understanding of the concept (video/text)

Elaborate – Students apply their understanding in a new or different way.

Evaluate – Students demonstrate their understanding of a concept (often graded using a rubric or formal assessment.)

With songs, poems, chants, riddles...

Engage – Students listen to a song with science content.  They respond about what they know about the topic.

Explore – Matching lyrics/stanzas of a song with different pieces of a demonstration, model, or lab activity; sequencing steps or use it as a cloze

Explain – Use a poem or song lyrics as a shared reading.  Identify vocabulary and main ideas.

Elaborate/Evaluate – Students create their own song, poem, or chant.  Or choreograph the song to match the content meaning.
