TEACHER NOTES: Supreme Court cases, Story Board materials, Animoto.com link on computer, Research Data

ENGAGE: Describe in detail how students’ interests are captured. “Open your book to page 32,” doesn’t work here. Describe exciting ways to establish a “Need to Know” for the students.

EXPLORE: Describe in detail the exploration experience in this lesson. Explorations will vary depending on the type of lesson (inquiry, challenge, or guided). The key for this “E” is what the students are DOING. The exploration should be hands-on and with the teacher serving as a facilitator.

EXPLAIN: Describe how students communicate the results of their explorations. Will you use a class chart, data table, journal entries, and whole class discussions? How will STUDENTS explain their results?

ELABORATE: In this part of your lesson plan, discuss extensions to other curriculum areas (ART, MUSIC, PE, etc.) The idea here is that students use their new knowledge and apply it to a new situation. For example, students might prepare a power point presentation for a younger audience describing their foam experimental results or they could write a story about their foam towers.

EVALUATE: Explain how your students demonstrate their new understandings and skills. What is the learning product for this lesson? Is the experimental conclusion, a picture, a Power Point presentation, a story, a solved problem? Be explicit here. And then prepare a rubric to evaluate student learning. Be extra sure that your assessment measures exactly what the target TEKS says it should measure.
