02 / TEACHING & TRAINING
From a learning objective to a lesson activity
Illustrative demonstrationThe challenge
A teacher needs a 20-minute activity that helps learners distinguish a claim from supporting evidence.
Sample starting material
Synthetic brief: 12 learners; pairs; three sample statements; learning objective: identify a claim and evaluate its support.
Guided learning approach
We work backwards from the objective, draft an activity, and build observable assessment criteria.
Representative output
- 3 min · Model one claim and its evidence
- 8 min · Pairs annotate three sample statements
- 5 min · Pairs compare the strength of evidence
- 4 min · Independent exit question
- Rubric · Claim identified / Evidence linked / Limitations explained; score each 0–2
Checks needed
Review age suitability, reading level, accessibility, timing, and whether the rubric measures the stated objective.
Reusable method
Objective → activity → observable criteria → rubric → teacher review.
