Writing Objectives:

• Should be student-centered   
• Actionable
• Measurable

The formula for write a ABCD objectives includes:

• A- Audience

• B- Behavior
• Discribes what the students are doing this must be observable and messarable. 
• C- Conditions
• Incudes resources and limitations like time, materials, cues, or with whom.

When writing an objective it is important to keep in mind the connection between learning objectives, instructional activities, and assessment that must all be aligned. The assessment will help measure student achievement and the effectiveness of the teacher's lesson. Below are some examples of objectives using the ABCD formula:

Give a blank map of the United States, students will be able to label states with 80% accuracy.

Given the texts The Wizard of Oz and Where the Moutian Meets the Moon, students will be able to find three similaries and three differences at 80% accuracy.

Some of the biggest take aways from the guest speaker Ms. Lauren were the examples she provided of different assessments. I appreciate the examples provided because they were displayed in the different content areas. And she explained how it could be used in the classroom. These examples have allowed me to discover different ways to create assessments to allow students to display thier achievement. By giving  a variety of assessment styles it allows for students that learn in different ways to have opportunities to display thier learning.

Some her examples are provided below:
