The textbook recommends focusing on specific and measurable instructional objectives that align with the desired learning outcomes. Option A (Students will write poetry using meter and rhyme) is a specific and measurable objective that aligns with the desired outcome of students being able to create poetry with a specific structure. Option B (Students will study effective government practices) is not as specific and measurable, and the desired outcome is not as clear. Option C (The teacher will demonstrate the correct way to use a Bunsen burner) is a teacher-centered objective and does not focus on student learning. Option D (Students will complete the first 10 chapters of their textbook by the end of the semester) is measurable but does not necessarily align with a desired learning outcome or demonstrate a specific skill or understanding that students are expected to develop.
