A. Objectives
1. Given a pbwiki account, their own computer,the book read by the group and two sixty-minute periods in the computer lab, third grade students will be able to cooperate as a group of three to create a response to the text they have read. Each student will cooperate at least once during the course of the two-day lesson.
2. Given a pbwiki account, their own computer, the book read by the group and two sixty-minute periods in the computer lab, third grade students will be able to use at least one example of evidence from the text from the text to support his or her thinking in response to the text their group read.
3. Given a pbwiki account, their own computer, the book read by the group and two sixty-minute periods in the computer lab, third grade students will be able to agree or disagree with statements made by their partners. Students will provide justification for his or her response using evidence from the group text.
4. Given a pbwiki account, their own computer, the book read by the group and two-sixty minute periods in the computer lab, third grade students will be required to read and respectfully respond to a post made on the wiki by one of the other members in their group.
5. Given a pbwiki account, their own computer, the book read by the group and two-sixty minute periods in the computer lab, third grade students will be able to work with answers submitted by each member of the group to compile one collaborative response to the question. Evidence of each original response must be present in the group response.
B. Goals
1. One goal of the wiki is for students to be able to read and respond to the members in a group to help construct a deeper understanding of the text they have read.
2. Another goal of the use of the wiki in the classroon is to encourage student cooperation by requiring students to share ideas and compose one response to text including ideas from each member in the group.
3. A third goal is for students to consider the ideas of their peers. The wiki will be a tool to support cooperative group work.

So I just completed a response to this and deleted the whole thing - DARN! Here is what I think...
ReplyDeleteYour goals are much more succinct and clear than your objectives, and in essence, your objectives should parallel your goals, as this is what you expect of your students to achieve your goals. Because there are three goals, I think it makes sense to parallel the goals and have three correlated objectives. Objectives 1 and 2 seem to match Goal 1, Objectives 3 and 4 match Goal 2, and Objective 5 matches goal 5. That being said, here is my idea for the simplification of your objectives:
1. 1. Given a pbwiki account, their own computer,the book read by the group and two sixty-minute periods in the computer lab, third grade students will be able to cooperate at least once as a group of three to create a response to the text using at least one example of evidence to support his or her thinking during the course of the two-day lesson.
2. 3. Given a pbwiki account, their own computer, the book read by the group and two sixty-minute periods in the computer lab, third grade students will be able to agree or disagree with statements made by their partners, justifying his or her response using evidence from the text, then read and respectfully respond to a post made on the wiki by one of the other members in their group.
3. Given a pbwiki account, their own computer, the book read by the group and two-sixty minute periods in the computer lab, third grade students will be able to work with answers submitted by each member of the group to compile one collaborative response to the question that utilizes evidence from the text.
What do you think?
Your suggestion for aligning the goals and objectives helps to clarify the path to take with this technology implementation. I think it helps to have someone else look at this. I have read it so many times, it is hard to re-examine it as close as I should be. I like the suggestions you have made. It seems clearer this way. Thanks!
