 | Hey, is that the new article from Echevarria, Vogt, and Short (2008)? | |
|
| It sure is! This time they discuss the importance of writing content and language objectives for students to see and hear. | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Why should I write my objectives? Isn't my classroom agenda good enough for the lesson? | |
|
| No, your content and language objectives will help your students understand what they should be doing and what they should be learning. | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Okay! I'm starting to see the importance now that you mention the content and expectations, should I review the objectives at the end of my lessons also? | |
|
| Reviewing and discussing the objectives at the end of the unit can be a powerful assessment technique. You can see if students have mastered the objectives or need to have additional practice. | |
