Flexibility in the 5E Learning Cycle

One thing I liked about the 5E learning cycle framework is that, when used as a learning plan and not a lesson plan, you can space out activities over multiple class periods and have all the time you need.  The different phases do line up rather naturally with the standard style of a lesson plan with a bit of extra time spent on things like exploring a topic a bit more in-depth.

I will say that my biggest difficulty was the Evaluate phase, as I felt that the evaluate in a formative sense fit better in the engage phase, having them consider some facet of the current debate.  All in all, I like the 5E and will try to use it.
