3. Ice Breaker
As I watch you standing in front
I can see meaningful stunt
With your passion you wont
A simple act that confront.
I saw in your eyes
Elegant meaning that entice
Patience, concern, and motivation you had exercise
These would make me a price.
I heard your voice softly
That speaks honestly
The words that remind momentarily
I must use too, accordingly.

4. Ice Breaker
I scrutinized your actions
That exemplifies your dedication
To mold young minds with compassion
I truly appreciate it with conviction.
Your brilliant mind conveys
A majestic message for sway
I must engage it to pay
The hardworking you play.
No words can describe you as an educator
You’re such an exceptional than an actor
A simple “thank you” I must murmur
For being my water in the dry land I explore.

expected to be able to DO.

student must perform the task, in order for the
performance to be acceptable.

12. Be student-oriented

13. Be observable
 The key to writing observable
objectives is to use verbs that are
observable and lead to a well defined
product of the action implied by that
verb.
Example:
Verbs such as "to identify," "to
list," "to select," "to compute," "to
predict," and "to analyze“.

14. Be sequentially appropriate
 Foran objective to be sequentially
appropriate it must occur in an
appropriate place in the
instructional sequence.
 All prerequisite objectives must
already have been attained.

15. Be attainable within a
reasonable time
 The objective must be specific,
reasonable, achievable, and
measurable within the available
time limit.
 Anobjective should set
expectations for a single learning
outcome and not a cluster of them.

16. Be developmentally
appropriate
 Developmentally appropriate
objectives set expectations for
students that are well within their
level of
intellectual, social, language, or
moral development.

17. Instructional objective also known as behavioral objective or
learning objective are basically statements which clearly
describe an anticipated learning outcome. When objectives
were first coming into their own in education, they almost
always began with the phrase: "Upon completion of this
lesson, the student should be able to…." This phrase focused
on the outcome of learning rather than on the learning
process.
Describe a learning outcome; be student-oriented; be
observable; be sequentially appropriate; be attainable within a
reasonable time; and be developmentally appropriate are
essential characteristics of a well-written and useful
instructional objectives.
In other words, learning objectives are fundamental in
creating effective learning experiences.
