At the beginning of each lesson, teachers should clearly communicate the learning objectives to students so they understand what they will learn. During the lesson, teachers may add additional objectives depending on students' needs. It is important that students view the objectives as both interesting and important, so teachers should state them emphatically. While objectives shouldn't be a surprise, specific activities and methods can be. Teachers should also establish routines for recording objectives and referring back to them throughout the lesson for students.

COMMUNICATIVELEARNINGOBJETIVESEARLY.
I thinkthat one of the most importantthingsthatwe have to do at the beginningof a lesson is
to tell the students what are they going to learn, and this should be specific and clear.
Something different is that during the lesson depending of the children necessities, you can
add another L O at the previous lesson plan.
We have to make our studentsunderstand that this L O are very interesting as the same time
as important.We have to state it emphatically, of course, because if not, students will not be
involved in the learning process at all.
I don´t think that LO should be like a surprise for the students. By the other hand the
methodology or the activities that we are going to work through could be impressive.
