Guiding Questions and Prompts:
There are many kinds and many ways of writing objectives, which can also be called targets. The questions provided are intended to scaffold thinking about the objectives of planned instructional activities. Notice the way that objectives are linked to assessment. Use the questions below to address all three types of objectives.
Please draft your objectives and refine them as you add them to the lesson sequence. Do not submit the objectives separately in this part; include them in part 7 where the connection between the objectives, activities and formative assessments will be.
6a. Content objectives
What do I expect to see students do as evidence of this understanding or knowledge?
What do I want students to be able to learn as a result of this lesson?
What attitudes and values do I want students to demonstrate?
What evidence might I obtain that students are achieving these objectives?
6b. Language objectives
Use the guiding questions under academic language expectations and the chart you created to write language objectives connected to the content objectives.
Make sure you have language objectives with specific language at the discourse, sentence, and word/phrase dimensions across the unit. Use the language features in the WIDA standards to guide your focus on academic language.
6c. Translanguaging objectives
Translanguaging objectives are planned ways of leveraging bilingualism and ways of knowing so that students can better access content and language practices valued in schools.
What content practices do I expect students to access this lesson?
What language practices do I expect students to access in this lesson?
What do I expect students to do as a result of this lesson?
What attitudes and values do I want my students to demonstrate?
What evidence might I obtain that my students are achieving these objectives?
