End of the Year Project: What Are YOU Curious About? - Tips for Designing an Online Learning Experience Using the 5 Es *Hyperdocs model

Loved finding this blog post - by @Catlin_Tucker  End of the Year Project: What Are YOU Curious About? "Teachers looking for creative ways to end the school year may want to consider a “What are YOU curious about?” project. What do you want to learn? - See video below.

This is a fun way to close out the year with a student-driven investigation. This project uses the 5Es instructional modelengage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate–to guide students through a learning experience focused on a topic of their choice. The goal of this learning cycle is to give students the agency to decide what they want to learn about before the school year officially ends. Once they have decided on the question they would like to investigate, they self-pace through the parts of the project and use the slide deck below to document their learning. This project is designed to drive higher-order thinking, develop research skills, and encourage reflection." She provides a video and a template bit.ly/5EsProject to help guide the lesson always starting with a question!  I plan to try it out with a few lessons this week on twitter and slides. Template here bit.ly/5EsProject
I have been looking for ways for students to use Portfolios and Slides in a more meaningful manner.

The above slide model - Using the 5 Es Instructional Model (created by Roger Bybee’s)  5 Es instructional model also connect with using Hyperdocs https://hyperdocs.co  (this site is currently being redesigned) temples  and 5E's  for delivery in this post: Tips for Designing an Online Learning Experience Using the 5 Es Instructional Model https://catlintucker.com/2020/03/designing-an-online-lesson and ‬ bit.ly/5EsTemplate  I found the recorded videos on each stage to be very helpful!
