Daily Warm-Up: Combining Learning Objective vs. Agenda Free Lesson Plan (PDF)
Lesson Plan (DOCX) & Answer Key with Membership
Worksheet
Students will fill in the Venn diagram comparing and contrasting the day’s agenda with the learning objective. Students are given the daily agenda and learning objectives. The goal is for students to synthesize what they are learning with what they are doing into a single statement, to make their learning meaningful.
Pedagogy: When parents ask their kids what they learned today at school, they usually answer “nothing”. Then the kid answers, we learned about “grizzly bears, or read the Great Gatsby, or we did worksheets”. Students almost always answer the context of what they are doing and not the concept behind it. Many school administrators ask for teachers to display their learning objects (also called many other things) so students can see them. The thought behind this is so students know what they are learning about. The problem is the learning objective is not meaningful for the students, so it just becomes an extra thing teachers must do that doesn’t make a difference. The goal of this Venn Diagram is for students to make the learning objective meaningful to their learning.NGSS Standard
