Descriptive of a learning outcome Lesson objectives differ from lesson activities or procedures. Lesson objectives focus on what the students will achieve by completing the lesson. An objective stating that students will practice graphing demand curves does not specify a learning outcome. It specifies a learning activity that is designed to help students reach some outcome, such as the ability to describe the relationship between the price of a product and the quantity demanded. But lesson writers should remember that the curriculum is crowded.
Teachers are more likely to teach a lesson that takes one class period that four class periods.
Don't try to include too much in one lesson. If a lesson focuses on a plethora of economic concepts, students may end up learning very little. Keep the lesson focused and to the point. Then field test the lesson in a variety of classroom situations to determine the most likely amount of time required. Materials required A list of materials required for the lesson should be included at the beginning of the lesson.
