CBC Who??????????? ABCD What????????????

We are learning the proper way to write objectives. Learning to write objectives in the MSMC format is sooooooooooooooooo very hard for me! We have the CBC-Condition, Behavior, and Criteria; ABCD-Audience, Behavior, Condition, and Degree. These are to help guide us when we are forming our objectives.
                                    

Objectives need to be worded a certain way: Given (a task or material) the student will (verb from Bloom's Taxonomy) with (an expected level of performance).
There are aims, goals, and objectives.
Aims are general statements that guide or lead you to an educational action. Aims are usually written based on the National Standards and these are not directly assessable.
Goals are statements that are more specific than aims but more general than objectives, and should be based on the NY State Standards Key Ideas.
Objectives are usually detailed statements of educational intention which define very specific outcomes formulated based on the appropriate performance indicator, and these are measurable.
                                             
WHY is it so hard for me to grasp? I get it, but I don't... it takes me so long to form an objective. I hope I get the hang of it fast! Yikes!!!!
Practice Makes Perfect----I hope

  1. Keep practicing, it seems overwhelming because you want to get your point across with out being too wordy, yet you need the perfect words in the one sentence. Its a lot, but i know you can do it! Im having a hard time coming up with criteria. So i hope that i will successfully make my objective clear, to the point, and of course correct!
