1. Based on your classroom experience, provide examples of two behavioral objectives that differ in the degree of expressiveness they allow. Objective: By the end of the lesson, the student will be able to accurately calculate the area of a rectangle using the formula A = length x width, with no more than a 5% margin of error. In this objective, the desired outcome is very specific, down to a 5% margin of error. It leaves little room for interpretation and clearly defines what success looks like. Objective: By the end of the lesson, the student will demonstrate an understanding of the concept of multiplication in various real-life scenarios. This objective is less specific and expressive. It doesn't provide a clear measurement or specific tasks the student should perform. It allows for a broader range of acceptable outcomes, as the student is only required to demonstrate an understanding of multiplication in different real-life scenarios. The degree of expressiveness is lower in this case. 2. Using a topic you have observed being taught in the schools, write an objective for each level of the taxonomy of cognitive objectives: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, syntheses, and evaluation—select verbs for each level from the list provided in the chapter. Knowledge (Remembering): Objective: Define the term "photosynthesis" and list the main reactants and products involved in the process. Comprehension (Understanding): Objective: Explain the basic principles of photosynthesis and describe how light energy is converted into chemical energy in plants. Application (Applying): Objective: Given a set of environmental conditions, predict how changes in factors like light intensity or carbon dioxide concentration would impact the rate of photosynthesis in a plant. Analysis (Analyzing): Objective: Analyze the various stages of photosynthesis and identify the key enzymes and molecules involved in each stage. Synthesis (Creating):

Objective: Design an experiment to investigate the effect of different colored lights on the rate of photosynthesis in a specific plant species and develop a hypothesis for the expected results. Evaluation (Evaluating): Objective: Evaluate the ecological significance of photosynthesis in the carbon cycle and its role in maintaining the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Discuss potential consequences if photosynthesis were to cease 3. Now exchange the objectives you have just written with a classmate's. Have the classmate check each objective for an observable behavior, any special conditions under which the behavior must be displayed, and a performance level sufficient to demonstrate mastery; revise objectives, if necessary. Knowledge (Remembering): Original Objective (from classmate): Define photosynthesis. Revised Objective: Define photosynthesis by accurately describing the process and its significance, with the special condition that this definition must be provided in a written or oral form. A performance level sufficient to demonstrate mastery would be providing a complete and accurate definition. Comprehension (Understanding) Original Objective (from classmate): Understand the concept of photosynthesis. Revised Objective: Explain the concept of photosynthesis in a written essay, demonstrating an understanding of the process and its importance in the context of plant biology. A performance level sufficient to demonstrate mastery would be a clear and comprehensive explanation. Application (Applying) Original Objective (from classmate): Apply the knowledge of photosynthesis in a real- world scenario. Revised Objective: Given specific environmental conditions, predict and describe how changes in factors like light intensity or carbon dioxide concentration affect the rate of photosynthesis in a plant. The special condition is to provide a written analysis of the scenario, and a performance level sufficient to demonstrate mastery would be the accurate prediction and explanation of the effects Analysis (Analyzing): Original Objective (from classmate): Analyze photosynthesis. Revised Objective: Analyze the various stages of photosynthesis, identify the key enzymes and molecules involved in each stage, and provide a detailed written or verbal

explanation of the findings. A performance level sufficient to demonstrate mastery would be a comprehensive analysis with accurate identification and explanation. Synthesis (Creating): Original Objective (from classmate): Create a project related to photosynthesis. Revised Objective: Design and execute an experiment to investigate the effect of different colored lights on the rate of photosynthesis in a specific plant species. Develop a hypothesis for the expected results and provide a written or oral presentation of the experimental design and hypothesis. A performance level sufficient to demonstrate mastery would be a well-structured experimental plan with a clear hypothesis. Evaluation (Evaluating): Original Objective (from classmate): Evaluate photosynthesis. Revised Objective: Evaluate the ecological significance of photosynthesis in the carbon cycle and its role in maintaining the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Discuss potential consequences if photosynthesis were to cease in a written report, taking into account various ecological factors. A performance level sufficient to demonstrate mastery would be a well-reasoned and comprehensive evaluation with a consideration of potential consequences. 4. A parent calls to tell you that based on a long talk with her son about the objectives you have written for health education, she disapproves of them, particularly those referring to the anatomy of the human body. However, you have taken the objectives from the teacher's guide to the adopted textbook almost verbatim. Compose a brief written response to this parent that shows your understanding of where the objectives from. Dear Parent's Name, I hope this message finds you well. I want to express my appreciation for taking the time to discuss your concerns about the health education objectives with your son. Your active involvement in your child's education is highly valued, and I would like to clarify the source of these objectives to address your concerns. The objectives for our health education curriculum, including those related to the anatomy of the human body, are derived almost verbatim from the teacher's guide to the adopted textbook. These objectives are designed to ensure alignment with nationally recognized standards for health education, as well as the curriculum guidelines established by our school district.

Our primary goal is to provide a comprehensive and standardized education that equips students with the knowledge and skills they need to make informed decisions about their health. This includes understanding the fundamental concepts of human anatomy, which are essential for students as they progress in their health education. I completely understand and respect your perspective as a parent, and I want to assure you that we are committed to fostering a positive learning environment that values diversity of thought. If you have specific concerns about the content or the way it is being presented to the students, I am more than willing to engage in further dialogue to address those concerns and explore possible adjustments to our approach. Your feedback is vital to us, and your continued involvement in your child's education is greatly appreciated. Please feel free to reach out if you would like to discuss this matter further or if you have any other questions or concerns. Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education, and we look forward to working together to ensure a positive and productive learning experience. Sincerely, Kira Scarbrough
