The statement 'Given a verbal description, students will correctly identify types of mountains four out of five times' is most appropriate in which of the following sections of a lesson plan?

• A. Guided practice
• B. Materials
• C. Objectives
• D. Summary

Answer: (C)

In lesson planning, you want an objective to state what the student will do, under what conditions, and to what standard. The statement here does exactly that: the student will identify types of mountains (observable behavior) given a verbal description (condition) and will do so correctly four out of five times (criterion). That clear alignment of behavior, condition, and criterion makes it a measurable objective, which is why it belongs in the objectives section.

It’s not about listing resources (that would be Materials), nor about describing practice activities (that would be Guided practice), nor about summarizing what was learned (that would be Summary). The focus here is on what the student will be able to demonstrate, which is exactly what an objective communicates.
