• Deal specifically with “What do I want
my students to learn?”
• Involves translating general goals into
more specific objectives
• Desired Educational Outcomes listed in
specific terms.
• A description of a content area or skill
• A statement of what students will be
able to do when they reach the
objectives
Example: “By the end of
the unit, students will be
able to identify the parts
of speech within
paragraphs.”
At the end of the unit,
students will be able to
describe some touristic
places that they have
visited with their family

simple past tense
 Do Activity

learn”
 Do Activity

the objectives you wrote a few minutes ago.
 Unit Plan: Evaluation
• Provides students with
feedback and feedback

parts of the unit plan
• The way you measure
student learning depends
on what you want

6. At the end, the author must elaborate a short synthesis of the
information cited.
