Week 2 Application
This week I chose to do the lesson plan on rapid changes to the Earth's surface. Although I have created 5E lesson plans before and usually try to implement most of the E's in my lesson plans, I realized that I could do more in my lesson planning to really engage the students. It is not difficult to find a small experiment, do an observation or to view a video that will entice students' natural curiosity. It might take a little bit more time to find and plan these things but it seems worth it. I will try it with the next lesson plan I create for my own classroom. I will keep you posted on how much more (or less) successful it is!

Hey Anna,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that we could do more with our planning. I also implement the 5 E's in planning, I think it's imperative to include them. What I struggled with is adding too much information. As I reflect on my lesson about motion, I think I included too many concepts which may overload the students and cause me to run out of time. Hoprefully I can improve with this week's lesson.
