Two MAJOR sources of Clarity

• The major advantages of such objectives is that they promote increased clarity regarding educational intents, wheras vague and unmeasurable objectives yield considerable ambiguity and, as a consequence, the possibility of many interpretations not only of what the objective means but, perhaps more importantly, whether it has been accomplished.- Popham

1. Support the structure of the drafting process2. Build a community, thus modeling community identity3. Develop an environment of critical critique, thus they learn how to analyze deeply through writing
Jonnason, 2008 p71
» [The] simple activity of placing their work on the Internet for public access inspires many students to take their work more seriously and to engage in a level of reflection about their work that is otherwise rare. It will also cause them to write with a purpose, to think critically about what they write, to read what others have produced, and to compare their own work to the work of others.
