Realize the importance of a clearly defined lesson objective
My Map
I will observe two different classes and observe the Resource Teacher

My Tools
As I observe a class, I will use the Observation Sheet for a more
focused observation.

The teacher also

3. Lesson objectives must be in the 2

3. The Resource teacher not only show

or state the definition of paraphrasing

students to share their feelings by
choosing a line of the song that they
just sung (affective).

life. She gives examples that the
students can relate with.

5. Lesson objectives must lead to the 5. The Resource teacher not just gave

orally to the student. Through this,
students can develop critical thinking
and creative thinking.

2. After observing your Resource Teacher teaches, write down what you think
was/were her lesson objective.

After observing the class, I think her lesson objectives are:

The students will know what is paraphrasing

The students will construct their own sentences by paraphrasing

Appreciate the importance of paraphrasing

3. Ask permission from your Resource Teacher for you to copy her lesson
objective for the days lesson. Copy it here then compare it with your answer
in # 2. Are they the same? Different?

At the end of the lesson, students are expected to:

Define paraphrasing

Restate the ideas covered by the text

Analyse the meaning of the original and paraphrased texts

My Analysis

1. If answer in # 3 above is different, what is your conclusion regarding

written lesson objective and actual lesson development? Are lesson

objectives in the lesson plan always followed? Do they really serve as

guiding star?

My answer in number 3 compared to the lesson objectives of the

teacher has a resemblance. The lesson objectives really serve as
guiding stars to the development of learning of the learners.
Sometimes lesson objectives are not followed but students can still
learn if the teacher teaches topics related to his/her lesson objectives.

2. Why did you find it easy/difficult to write down the Resource Teachers
lesson objective for the day? Did she mention it in the beginning of
his/her lesson?

I find the lesson objective easy to guess because of the strategy she is
using. She let the students to choose one line from the song and
interpret it using their own understanding, so I immediately guessed
that theyre lesson is all about paraphrasing. Even though the teacher
didnt mention the lesson objectives at the beginning of their class, the
way she discussed the topic make me know what her lesson objectives
are.

3. Did you find the lesson objective SMART? Why or why not?

Yes, her learning objectives were classified as SMART in such way that
it can be consumed in specific-time-allotment. Aside from that it can
also be measured and attained in a way that the student will know the
meaning of paraphrasing and to give samples of it.

4. Was the lesson objective in the cognitive or psychomotor or affective

domain? Or was it in the two or three domains? Support your answer.

The lesson is in the COGNITVE as well as AFFECTIVE domain because

its not only encouraging the students to think, to analyze or to restate
the idea being presented but also students are encouraged to relate
some of the lines in the song to their lives.
My Reflections
Any lessons learned or insights gained from your observation focused
on lesson objectives? Write them down here. Are lesson objectives
truly the guiding star in the development of a lesson? Or are lesson
objectives sometimes forgotten as the lesson develops?

I learned that lesson objectives must be in the 2 or 3 domainsknowledge; the cognitive, affective and psychomotor.

Lesson objectives must be connected to the students life

experiences.

I also learned that we can also share the lesson objectives with
the students.

The lesson objectives must be attained at the end of the lesson

in order to proceed to another topic.

Teachers must begin the lesson with a clearly defined lesson

objective.

Lesson objectives are guide for us to determine/evaluate if our

teaching is effective, if the objectives are not attained, then
theres something wrong with your teaching.

My Portfolio

objectives

principles. Jawaharial Nehru
Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of plan, in which we must
fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other
route to success. Stephen A. Brennan

to really keep us alive. Robert H. Schuller
