My learning objective and how to check it from TED-ED

My TED-ED link:






My language learning objective is based on Michigan English Language Proficiency Standards for K-12 schools, especially L.3 Identify main ideas and supporting details from spoken English.

In this talk, Erin Mckean who is an lexicographer, explains the diversity of new words and the benefit of making up new words. She encourages us to make up our own new words to express our ideas and get our meaning across.

To see if the objectives had been met, I make two multiple choice questions for main idea and details of the talk.

1. What is the main idea of this talk?

(A) making up new words

(B) finding the history of new words

(C) learning how to use dictionary


2. What is not included in the ways to make up new words?

(A) compounding

(B) stealing


(C) deleting

And to enlarge our students thought, I also made an open-ended type question.

3. Why does the speaker encourage us to make up new words?
