LO and S2S

Which LO would you write for your lesson:

• Students understand how to write a formal letter.

• Students should be able to write the features of a formal letter

Answer explanation

Avoid using the word 'understand' when writing LO and S2S. The word 'understand' is too general and is not measurable.

Select the LO that you would write for a lesson:

• Students should know the countries on the world map.

• Students should be able to list the countries on a world map.

Answer explanation

The word 'know' is too general. Again, how would you measure 'knowing'?

Select the LO you would use in your lesson:

• Students should be able to define and use vocabulary from the passage 'Tending the Olive Trees'

• Students should gain knowledge on vocabulary from the reading passage 'Tending the Olive Trees'

Which LO would you use:

• Students should be familiar with the oral exam format

• Students should be able to talk for 15 minutes following the format of the oral exam

Select the LO that you would use for your lesson:

• Students should be able to extrapolate the meaning of figurative language in the passage

• Students should be able to write the meaning of the figurative language and apply them in a different context

Answer explanation

Use student friendly vocabulary in lesson objectives

"Students will familiarize themselves with the SPE format and marking scheme as well as rubrics for comprehension, summary, writing and reference skills."

This LO is too long and uses a verb that is not measurable. Write one that is more appropriate for the lesson.

"Students should be able to write a piece of writing that is cohesive".

This LO is written for a narrative lesson for a MA-LA class. It is not specific and uses language that is not student friendly. Write an appropriate LO for this lesson.
