Common mistakes Poorly written objectives lead to faulty inferences
Lesson assessment not connected with behavior
indicated in the objective
Prerequisites not specified or inconsistent with
lesson requirements
The materials specified in the lesson irrelevant to
those described in learning activities
Teacher’s instructions inefficient
Students activities do not contribute
effectively to lesson objective
EnhanceEdu
Now it’s your turn… Create 6 lesson objectives for topic of your
choice
Each objective must involve a different level of
Bloom’s Taxonomy
You have 15 minutes
Be prepared to share your objectives with the
group
