Consequence 1 - Mapping Objectives, Assignments and Assessments
Using the formal objective, Jamie prepares a table that shows the objective, the lesson, the assignment and the assessment side by side so students understand the importance of the assignment.

She shares the following table with the students.

B: Composition consists of between 250 and 300 words utilizing correct reflexive verbs in the present tense that describes daily routine events in the picture. C: Composition consists of 200 to 250 words utilizing reflexive verbs that may or may not be correct to describe the daily routine events in the picture. D: Composition consists of 150 to 200 words utilizing verbs that may or may not be correct to describe the events in the picture. F: Composition consists of less than 150 words, does not describe the events in the picture, or does not use appropriate reflexive verbs. ||
 * ~ Objective ||~ Assignment ||~ Assessment ||
 * Students will compose a 300 word paragraph in the present tense using reflexive verbs when given a picture that has a sequence of daily routine events. || Write a 300 word composition using reflexive verbs to describe the daily routine events in the picture on page 33. || A: Composition consists of 300 or more words utilizing the correct reflexive verbs in the present tense that describe the daily routine events in the picture.

Both Jamie and her students now have a better understanding of the objectives for the composition assignments. It is important for students to be aware on what they will be assessed, and this can be done in the objectives by providing information about what learners will be able to do at the end of each lesson. By doing this Jamie can understand and explain to students the learner outcomes to be measured, the conditions under which the outcome will occur, and the criterion for acceptable behavior.

Having successfully shared how the objective aligned with the assignment and assessment, Jamie launched into a lesson to help students learn how to create a composition on their own.
