As a teacher, I need to know
what the objective is for the lessons that I'm teaching,
and I need to be able to take an
opportunity to clearly state for my students what it is that they're
going to be learning that day.
I do this by stating a clear objective
at the beginning of each lesson.
I also want to make sure that I’m
stating this on my students’ level.
For example, if I were teaching
something out of the Bible in Matthew,
I might say to younger children
or students on a lower developmental level,
“Today we’re going to learn about
how to be kind to others.”
If I were working with older
students or students on a higher developmental level,
I may state, “Today we’re going to learn
about how to have charity towards our brothers and sisters.” Whatever
the case may be, I want to be able to clearly
state a nice objective
so my students know what we will be
talking about that day in our lesson from the very beginning.
