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
