ABCDs of Writing Objectives

-

Today I want to talk a little bit about the ABCDs of writing objectives. This is a useful method that we like to use that helps us tremendously in writing objectives.

A - Audience: Who are your learner's (Who will be preforming)?
B - Behavior : Describe the task or behavior using action verbs (something that is heard or observed)
C - Condition: Under what conditions (aids, tools, or reference materials)
D - Degree: To what degree of mastery (speed, accuracy)

For fun I have done a learning objective for my Fiancé Josh! Right now Josh is apart of the Government shutdown and it is driving him crazy. He is the type that has to constantly be doing something. I will just brag a little bit on him, I swear my house has never been so clean! Guys, he has even been doing the laundry. I mean like washing, drying, folding, and putting away our clothes! I do have just one small objective for him though...

Given the correct cleaning supplies, Josh will clean the whole bathroom (sink, toilet, and shower) with 95% accuracy.

Can he do it?..... Stay tuned!

    So sorry to hear that you all have been affected by the government shut down, that is not fair or right at all. Hopefully things can get back to normal soon. I'm glad, however; that he is trying to stay positive and keep busy by helping out around the house. It is awesome that he is such a good sport and let you take his pic as he got ready to take on that task. Hope he can get that bathroom spicketty clean!

    I really appreciate the ABCD method, at first, I didn't think I could remember it. I have it written down several times in my notebook. Happy to say, I didn't even need to look at it when writing my post. It just makes perfect sense for writing objectives.

    I am so greatly disappointed with the government being shut down for this long. So many good families are hurting because of this. My best friends mom and my uncle work as nurses for the prison in our town. I know they have to still show up for work even though they are not getting paid. I cannot imagine not even going to work at all. I really like the ABCD method it is very helpful, it breaks down the objective into ways that help us focus on certain parts instead of thinking of it as a whole. I personally struggle on this subject, I am not too sure why but I am having a hard time with this. I really like that you also posted a picture, it makes the post way better!
    Great work!

Future Classroom Teaching Reading

Into the Future.... I am so excited to be able to be in my own classroom implementing all these amazing ideas and strategies that I have learned over the years at Columbia College. One thing that I have been super excited about and that I have held near and dear to my heart during this last stretch of my education is reading and how that will look in my future classroom. It is hard to imagine because you really do not know where you will end up especially fresh out of college. I do know that teaching reading is going to be something that I truly will look forward to in my classroom. Which is almost strange to me because I never really cared to read growing up and I really do not read very much now. When I am reading to my students and I watch how excited they are about a book and I get really into it and just watch how much they love it, I know exactly why I choose this career.  Also, teaching reading is not an easy task at all. Teaching reading will be so hard,...

5 Books For My Unit Plan!

The Fabulous Five:  In my unit plan this semester I have obtained some fun books that help me teach my students how to recognize characters and settings, character traits, comparing and contrast characters, cause and effect, and recognizing begging, middle, and end. Here is a list and how I will use it in the lesson.  1. The Rainbow Fish - Students will be able to describe the character and setting in this story by creating a character and setting Pyramid.  2. Where The Wild Things Are -  students will be able to describe the characters and setting, by writing and illustrating what they read. They will be doing this by listing the different characters, writing a sentence about their  traits and then drawing a picture.  3.  Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs -  Students will be able to describe the character traits of the main characters and compare and contrast them using a Venn diagram. 4.  A Bad Case of Str...
