This is a really handy little document created by A. Bourne at THS. I know that is not the proper citation but I have long since lost the first name of the creator and what THS is (other than a high school), but I digress.
This is a list of objectives that synchronize with the 2007-2008 APWH Outline. The objectives are not perfect and you may want to use an alternative level of Bloom's Taxonomy to tailor the objectives to your class. Also, these learning objectives are missing the conditions under which students will perform the task and the criteria for evaluating student performance. If you would like to turn these into really great learning objectives use this article by Raoul A. Arreola, Ph.D from the University of Tennessee at Memphis.
