EEEEE!!

What I like most of the 5E framework is that it is a method that places the focus on the students, and how they can learn better. The 5E Learning Cycle method also gives you more flexibility in terms of time. You don't think in terms of individual lessons but as whole learning cycles, some taking more lesson time than others. My favorite phase is the Engage phase. I love trying to figure out different activities to engage my students. I think this phase is the key to the other four. If you have a strong Engage phase, the rest follow easily.

My biggest challenge when working with the 5E method I think will be putting in practice my creative ideas. Based on my experience, creating lesson plans following the 5E template, requires good disposition of the students, resources, time, and a good handle of the class. Also I think that every class is different and you can’t apply the same learning cycle plan for everyone and the modifications will be totally necessary depending where you are and the resources you have available to you. The challenge will be to adapt learning cycles to difference circumstances and environments.
