Engage • Excite student's curiosity. • Wow them in a way that catches their attention • Not forcing children to learn but inviting them to do so • How lessons are introduced. • Not difficult or overly detailed • Interesting enough to open students minds for the learning process to begin. • Using technology to engage student learning makes planning very easy for teachers in today's classrooms. • Use Smartboard technology, read a book, or engage in a game.
Explore • Once students are fully in grossed in the lesson, intrigued by a video or maybe a book, now it is time to allow them to explore the concept. • use their resources – books, recordings, interviews, people in the field, internet, ….
Explain • Hear from their educator • Teacher's role so far has been to mainly facilitate learning, now they can use their expertise to answer questions students may have about what they are learning. • They also may pose questions to the student to see what they are able to explain what they have learned. • Checking for misunderstandings helps the teacher to observe what objectives need to be clarified or taught. • This explaining is done without the teacher having to do much lecturing. • Lesson is reinforced by what the students have seen from their exploring
