Answer the following questions:

1. What learning theories seem to be reflected in the steps of the plan you found?
I think that the learning theories that could be reflected in this lesson would be
constructivism and the multiple intelligences theory.
2. How does this plan differ from the DID model in terms of both steps and theoretical
framework?

This plan utilizes all the steps in the DID model.

3. Which format do you prefer? Why?
I prefer the DID model because it is the same steps every time. You make sure that you
are providing age appropriate material and presenting it in a way that all students will
understand.
