The 5E+T Model Sample Lesson Plan
The 5Es and a technology connection are shown in the table below, followed by a brief description of what student success looks like.
5E
ENGAGE
Activities that capture the students’
attention, stimulate their thinking, and help
them access prior knowledge. Students
become engaged in the process of inquiry.
The teacher can ask questions to find out
what students already know, or think they
know, about the topic and concepts to be
covered. These questions typically start
with “how” instead of with “why.”
EXPLORE
Enable students to explore their ideas,
singly and in groups, in classroom or at a
distance. Provides students time to think,
plan, investigate, and organize collected
information.

 Students acquire opportunities to connect
their previous experiences with current
learning and to make conceptual sense of
the main ideas of the topic being studied.
ELABORATE
Students apply or extend previously
introduced concepts and experiences to
new situations. Students apply their
knowledge to real world applications.
EVALUATE
Students, with their teachers, review and
assess what they have learned and how
they have learned it. Students can be given
a summative assessment to demonstrate
what they know and can do.
But wait, there’s more! Let’s also include what this might look like with a lesson in mind.
Learning Objectives:
Students will learn to conduct investigations to di

share their learning and help others
understand it.
Students develop a solution to a real
problem that incorporates their knowledge,
communicating that in a variety of media
formats.
Students’ creations are notated from a
perspective of real life usability rather than
teacher satisfaction with a transitional
student product.
