1. Examine the goals and objectives that are provided.
2. Sequence the goals in the order that you think is appropriate for your students.
3. Now look at the objectives associated with those goals.
4. Add any other goals or objectives you think should be needed (or helpful) for your students.
(Remember the Courses of Study are minimum standards.)
5. Are there any goals or objectives that could be integrated into other subject areas? If so, list
them and make notes beside them indicating the other subject area(s) that are applicable.
6. On what basis did you sequence the goals? What did you consider?
