Reinventing the Wheel: Objective writing

Great resource from St. Edward's University... This task-oriented question construction wheel (also available as a polygon in PDF) is designed as an aid in writing performance-based objectives

In addition to the usual practice of breaking out the behaviors for each domain in Bloom's taxonomy, each "slice" of the wheel also lists activities that can be associated with the behaviors.

While the behaviors and activities aren't always easily matched in this diagram - and there's a bit of inconsistency in the way items are presented - it's certainly easier to see the relationships of verbs to tasks in this tool than in the usual format for this type of resource listing cognitive tasks and verbs.
