As a 5th grade math teacher I use the learning objective as a chance to expose my students to terminology and definitions that are intertwined with the lesson. I feel this helps to engage students with the expectation and goal of what is to be learned in the coming lesson. As well as a way to learn new vocabulary, because many of my students are English language learners. When creating a learning outcome objective I use a very similar 5 step outline presented to me during my time in undergraduate, while creating copious amounts of lessons plans. I find a key aspect of creating a comprehensible learning objectives that will engage, is to use student friendly language and key, but limited new terms that connect with the lesson. - Lily Walsh
