Learning+Goals+and+Objectives+-+Andrea

Learning Goal: Students will be able to create a story line and apply narrative strategies.

Learning Objectives: -Students will create a clear and coherent story line. -Students will establish a problem or conflict and will establish a resolution to the problem/conflict. -Students will develop characters through description. -Students will use dialogue to advance plot or story line.

Preassessment: The eventual lesson for the students will be to construct a fable, consisting of two characters who are animals and who interact with one another. A problem will arise and the characters will learn a moral from the encounter with one another. The preassessment for this lesson would be to give each student a sample of a famous fable for them to read. They then complete a story map of the fable to determine if they can identify the problem, the resolution, the main characters, and the story line. They can make a guess at the moral to the story, however the morals would have to be discussed in class together as some, possible all students may not have been exposed to fables and morals before. This class discussion on morals and fables will be part of the informal preassessment.

2/11/07: Andrea - Well done. This is a reasonable and thorough set of objectives for meeting your learning goal. Your pre-assessment should give excellent pre-teaching data about what students already know and can do. (Dr. Adamy)

2/11/07: Andrea- I think this sounds great, I like the story map idea for the preassessment. -Gina

Andrea, your idea is well thought out and wil be helpful for the rest of the class to use as an assesment. - (Alli)
