during the reading and BeeBots activity.
 Allow students to work in pairs or small groups for collaborative
learning.
 Provide extension activities for advanced students, such as
creating their own BeeBot stories or coding challenges.

The 5 Es
E Description

Engagement 1. Catch the students’ attention with the activities in this phase. Pose
questions or design an activity to help the students build on what they
already know in preparation for learning something new. Technology
must be used by the teacher or student, or both. Provide specific
details of your engaging activity and the directions needed for students
to complete the activity. Include all supporting materials such as
handouts, presentations, hyperlinks to videos, websites, resources, and
screenshots of mobile applications. Begin the lesson by displaying a
BeeBot and asking students if they have seen or used one
before.
2. Encourage students to share their experiences or knowledge
about BeeBots.
3. Introduce the topic of integrating reading with BeeBots,
explaining that BeeBots can help us practice and improve our
reading skills.

 Useobservation and informal assessment during the lesson to

Engagement
Assessment monitor students' engagement and participation.

Exploration 1. Divide students into small groups and provide each group with a
BeeBot and a stack of picture cards representing a simple story.
2. Instruct students to work together to place the picture cards in
the correct sequence of the story.
3. Demonstrate how to program the BeeBot to move along the
sequence of picture cards.
4. Allow students time to explore and practice programming the
BeeBots to move along the sequence of their own picture cards.

Exploration Assess the students’ knowledge after they complete the exploration activity.
Assessment Include the tool you will use to assess the students in his section.

Explanation 1. Gather the students back together and engage in a whole class
discussion about their experiences with the BeeBots and
reading.
2. Guide the discussion towards the concept of coding and how it
relates to programming the BeeBots.
3. Explain that coding is like giving the BeeBot a set of directions to
follow.
4. Introduce vocabulary words such as "direction," "sequence,"
"comprehension," "coding," and "algorithm," providing simple
explanations for each term.

 Review students' coding challenges to assess their understanding

Explanation
Assessment of coding concepts.

Elaboration 1. Give each student a reading passage or book appropriate for

their reading level.
2. Instruct students to read the passage independently or in pairs.
3. Once students have finished reading, challenge them to use the
BeeBots to retell the main events of the story by programming
the BeeBot’s movements.
4. Encourage students to think about the sequence of events and
how to code the BeeBot accordingly.
5. Allow students ample time to practice coding the BeeBots and
retelling the story using the BeeBots as a visual aid.

Evaluation 1. Distribute a short assessment worksheet that includes questions

about the reading passage and the BeeBots activity.
2. Assess students' comprehension of the story by asking them to
write or draw the sequence of events.
3. Evaluate students' understanding of coding by providing simple
coding challenges related to the story.
4. Review the assessments to gauge student learning and identify

areas for further support or enrichment.
