TOPNOTCHER’S NOTES

 Teacher Rey shared this lesson objective/learning outcome with his students:
“Before the period ends, all of you must be able to identify the topic sentence and
supporting sentences of a given paragraph.” Teacher Rey drilled them on subject-
verb agreement to ensure that they can write a good paragraph then gave a ten-
sentence paragraph for the students to determine subject-verb agreement before
the class period ended. Teacher Rey did NOT use the lesson objective/learning
outcome as guide in the development of his lesson.
 Here is a lesson objective: “At the end of the lesson, the pupils must be able to
develop a positive attitude towards work.” This is NOT a SMART objective because
develop is a non-behavioral term.

English and so gets intrinsically motivated to learn. The class expected to act in self-

conduct of an action research. He also showed a model action research. He was
more subject matter-centered and teacher-centered.
