2. Plans instruction

"Students will gain experience and knowledge about the different habitats that we have on our planet. They will learn some facts about some animals and how they have adapted to live in their habitats. They will also learn about the four physical adaptations that animals use: camouflage, mimicry, chemical defense and body coverings or parts. Students will also be shown the world and how there are similar animals in various parts of the world." This has been copied and pasted from my original lesson plan on Taskstream.

My objectives, created for a fourth grade class, are clearly stated because I explain what we will be doing in the lesson, and what they should know afterwards. I do not use "stuff", "things", "maybe" within the description which is important because those words are not explicit with what they are describing.

These objectives are age appropriate because fourth graders are capable of comprehending the information that I presented. The goals of the lesson are not out of reach of the children in the classroom. The ideas that are presented are ideas that the students begin to experience and even ask about.

The objectives are directly aligned with the state standards for Texas. In fourth grade this information is what they will be expected to know and learn about in order to pass their state tests.
