More recent models, including the GANAG Model, 5E Model, UbD Model and Cooperative Learning Models share some components with the Hunter Model, but also have their own unique features.
A couple of short resources for each instructional model listed below are provided in this module — but they probably won’t provide enough information to generate a comprehensive answer to your activity guide questions. Do a little Internet research on your own to learn more about each of the models below, then download Activity Guide #2 to use as a template to compare and contrast the models.
