writing teaching objectives

Writing teaching objectives is essential for writing lesson plans. When you know your end goals, you can better develop sequence and activities. My students are working on their first lesson plans, and needed help with writing objectives.

I began with this video. Then I presented Bloom´s taxonomy, which they had seen before. This pdf includes some of the essential verbs and restates the important parts of a teaching objective. I then  I showed them the teaching objective I wrote for the activity I was carrying out then and there:

Having prepared personal lesson plan work and given examples of learning objectives, students will identify the 4 essential parts of a learning objective and important verbs from Blooms Taxonomy, evaluate their learning objectives in their lesson plans, and propose a new learning objective for their lesson plan that uses the the 4 essential parts and at least 2 verbs from Bloom´s taxonomy. 

Then students were given simple tasks (open a waterbottle, charge a phone, turn on the air conditioning) and were asked to write a teaching objective for teaching each task. Then students were asked to revise and recreate teaching objectives for their lesson plans for class.
