In this article the author walks readers through process of the learning cycle. The author shares that as educators we introduce a topic and precede to teach it without providing student concrete examples. This in turn leads to memorization of vocabulary and a missed opportunity to fully understand the topic. The author suggests that teachers provide students the opportunity to explore first by doing an activity that will activate prior knowledge and then the teacher and student together will explain the topic. This is where a teacher will explain concepts and introduce key terms. After these two have been successful taught you then elaborate and give student and opportunity to apply the concept they learn with an activity/assignment. Robertson believes that once you master these three concepts the other two will follow and you will have a better grasp of the 5Es.
