Writing MYP Objectives by Department
Below you will find a list of documents necessary for constructing your department’s MYP Objectives. Please download all documents as needed including;
Phase 1· Bloom’s Taxonomy Guide (Use Cognitive Domain for Objectives)
· Editable Content Objectives (Word files)
· Content Objectives (PDF Version)
· IB Program Content Guides (including newly revised Humanities and Language B)
· Thinking Maps (PDFs)
Phase 2· Print and review any files you might need.
· Share documents with department.
Phase 3· With your department, look closely at MYP Interim Objectives (found at the end of the subject guides).
· Notice that years 1, 3, and 5 are suggested objectives for those years.
· Find correlations/natural progression between the three years listed.
Phase 4· Download the Editable Content Objectives (Word files).
· Notice that years 2 and 4 are missing objectives.
Phase 5· Ensure that each member of your department has a copy of the Bloom’s Taxonomy Guide.
· Look closely at verbs that describe each of the Cognitive Levels in Bloom’s. You will use these when writing objectives.
Phase 6· With your department, use the Editable Content Objectives document to identify the verbs used in writing the year 3 objective for your content. Are these verbs aligned with Bloom’s Taxonomy? What cognitive level of learning do they represent?
· Using Analysis, Synthesis, or Evaluation only, construct one objective using the corresponding cognitive level verbs to fill in the gap between years 1 and 3. You may use the first objective to do this.
· With your department, complete all objectives for years 2 and 4 in the Editable Content Objectivesdocument and save the file.
· Email completed Editable Content Objectives document to Mr. Garza.
