TIPS FOR WRITING OBJECTIVES

Objectives are the most important features in a lesson plan since they describe what teachers expect students be able to do. However, writing an objective is not as easy as it seems, it requires knowledge of bloom´s taxonomy so then the teacher could identify the learning level of the lesson objective.

There are three types of objectives. First it is the cognitive, it seeks students´ understanding. The second it is the psychomotor, it looks for students movements and the last one is the affective it involves students feelings. Objectives could be written in a specific or general way but their purpose is the same. They are written to ensure and clarify what the lesson is going to be about and what students´ outcomes will be.

Regarding the main information about objectives, I would write my lessons´ objectives in an appropriate way by using bloom´s taxonomy. It definitely will help to choose the correct action verb based on what I want to measure from my students that could be their comprehension, knowledge, application, evaluation so on.

To sum up, there are some tips that can help teachers to write perfect objectives for their classes. Moreover, it is necessary to take into account the words and phrases which are not measurable and must be avoided.
