These learning targets are for a third grade unit on kinds of communities. I started by looking at the objectives listed for each lesson in the teacher's guide. I then looked at the taxonomies of learning targets. I am interested in getting feedback on the verbs associated with the learning targets. Of course any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.

Did you think of a learning target that relates different aspects of community to the community the students live in?
ReplyDeleteAll of the learning targets are clearly defined and I particularly like the number 5 because it addresses higher order thinking and allows students to reflect on how their community was built.
I like these. The fact that you teach childhood means it's appropriate to have so many "mastery" targets. Very good.
