5.+ELABORATE


 * Elaborate:** The fourth stage of the 5E Model is ELABORATE. This phase of the 5 E's extends students' conceptual understanding and allows them to practice skills and behaviors. Through new experiences, the learners develop deeper and broader understanding of major concepts, obtain more information about areas of interest, and refine their skills.

Watch the YouTube clip "Wikis in Plain English" to understand how to create your own class Wiki:

media type="youtube" key="-dnL00TdmLY" height="349" width="425"

Our Wiki that has already been created can be accessed by clicking here. Everyone will need to be signed into their own Wikispaces account and click on the "Join This Wiki" ("Drought In Australia Investigation") on the left hand side of the page - this will be approved by the teacher and you will be able to add to & edit your own page on the Wiki - the groups are:
 * What is drought, and how and why does it happen?
 * History of drought
 * Who does drought effect...
 * Management & Preparation

These pages have already been set up on the Wiki - each group needs to go into their relevant page, press edit & start adding your information! Remember, we will be sharing this Wiki with other schools and they will be creating their own pages to add to the Wiki - information sharing at it's best! :)

Each group is to share the resources, on their relevant Wiki page, they have used in sourcing their information eg. embed videos, create links to useful websites, upload pictures etc...

Remember to add your finished products from the EXPLAIN step. Depending on your group will have created one of the following:

A podcast

A Glogster

A Voki

A Mindmap

Once you have complete the above activities, go to the next section of the Wiki EVALUATE
