10:00 - 10:30 - Practice Writing Objectives
 * Characteristics of Great Objectives
 * Student-focused. Solid connection to subject matter. Objectives build on one another and interlock well. Links aspects of Bloom's Taxonomy to material. Individual and overall lesson plans (long-term goals and individual class day objectives) connect. Clear ways of demonstrating new material. Demonstrates attention to detail. Can have outside-the-box thinking on how to help the students understand the material (think creativity from Bloom's Taxonomy).
 * Characteristics of Poor Objectives
 * Not student-focused. Describes process of learning, rather than outcome. Very vague. Not a learning outcome. In need of parameters, definition, direction.
