The objective is whatever the student should answer to the question, "What am I supposed to learn during this lesson?" If the focus is on making connections to the text, then today's objective could be on choosing natural "Stop and think" points within the text. Tomorrow's objective could be to record my thoughts while I read. As teachers, we have our own way of thinking about objectives, but when we post objectives on the board, we need to break it down into smaller chunks for our students.
