Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Identify suffering. Determine the cause of suffering. End suffering in your life. Attain the end of suffering in your life.

Answer: Buddha describes suffering differently than you may usually think of it. Suffering is inevitable and is a part of life. Dukkha is the truth that all is suffering. Suffering is typically used to describe things such as sickness, aging, accidents, and physical and emotional pain. Yet, Buddha considers desires(i.e. especially unfulfilled desires) and cravings as suffering as well. These two things are considered the roots of suffering because humans are rarely ever satisfied or content. Once one desire is met, another desire is created. This is a vicious cycle. Dukkha means "that which is difficult to bear." Suffering is a large spectrum and includes things that are great and small. Desire and ignorance are the root of suffering. Your unfulfilled desires are the worst type of suffering. For example, if you are sick, you are suffering. While you are sick, you desire to be well. Your unmet desire to be well is a greater form of suffering than just being sick. Any time you desire a thing, opportunity, person, or achievement that you cannot have, you are suffering. The only guarantees in life aging, sickness, and death. Your desires will never be satisfied. Once you achieve or get something that you want, you will begin to desire something else. Your constant cravings keep you from achieving true happiness. Each of the four truths is a stepping stone. If all is suffering and suffering comes from your desires, then the only way to end suffering is by no longer having desires. You must believe that you do not have to suffer and that you have the ability to stop the suffering in your life. To end the suffering in your life, you must change your perception and learn to control your desires. Controlling your desires and cravings will allow you to live with freedom and contentment. The end of suffering can be attained by traveling the Noble Eightfold Path. Your path to nirvana involves can be summed up by three ideas. First, you have to to have the right intentions and mindset. Secondly, you have to live out your right intentions in your everyday life. Lastly, you have to understand true reality and have the correct beliefs about all things. The eightfold path can be divided into three categories: wisdom (right view, right intention), ethical conduct (right speech, right action, right livelihood), and mental cultivation (right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration). This path offers guidelines for how to live your everyday life.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Write stem statements. Select the proper verb. Determine the outcome. Put it all together.

Answer: A stem statement should outline the performance expected of a student. You should use measurable verbs to form your stem statement. Your stem statement should begin by referencing the class or lesson. For example, "After this course, students will..." "After completing this lesson, students are expected to..." Example: After completing this lesson, students are expected to be able to write a paragraph using a topic sentence. Example: After completing this lesson, students are expected to be able to identify three farm animals. Your stem statement outlines the duration of time your students need to have mastered a certain skill. If you're writing an educational objective for a particular lesson, specify that lesson in the objective rather than writing something like "By the end of this course..." Instead, opt for, "By the end of today's lecture..." Example: By midterm, all students should be able to count to 20. Example: At the end of the workshop, students should produce a haiku. The verbs you use are contingent on which level of learning in Bloom's taxonomy you're conveying. You should write a variety of educational objectives that all speak to differing levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. For knowledge, go for words like list, recite, define, and name. For comprehension, words like describe, explain, paraphrase, and restate are ideal. Application objectives should include verbs like calculate, predict, illustrate, and apply. For analysis, go for terms like categorize, analyze, diagram, and illustrate. For synthesis, use words like design, formulate, build, invent, and create. For evaluation, try terms like choose, relate, contrast, argue, and support. The outcome is where you really get to the performance, condition, and criterion. You are expressing what the students are expected to do at the end of a course or lesson. What performance do you expect? Do students simply need to list or name something? Should they understand how to perform a task? Where and when will they carry out this performance? Is this for a classroom setting alone or do they need to perform in a clinical, real world environment? What are the criteria you're using to evaluate your student? What would be considered a passing grade or an appropriate performance? Once you've laid out the stem statement, chosen your verb, and identified the outcome, put it all together to form an educational objective. Say you're teaching a high school English class and, for one lesson, you're teaching symbolism. A good educational objective would be, "By the end of this lesson, students should be able to analyze the symbolism in a given passage of literature and interpret the work's meaning in their own words." The stem statement identifies that the objective should be met by the end of the lesson. The verbs used are comprehension verbs, indicating this task falls under the second level of Bloom's hierarchy of learning. The expected performance is literary analysis. The condition is, presumably, that the reading be done alone. The expected outcome is that the student will be able to read a work, analyze it, and explain it in her own words.
