Abstract.

            Education is a very vital subject in the lives of very many people and therefore the presentations of the learning experiences that are given in a learning situation be it in the classroom or the home-based should be guided for ensuring that the correct standards are reached in an education system.

Bloom’s taxonomy allows grouping or classification of learning objectives in an effort to categorize the levels of learning. It therefore becomes mandatory and very unavoidable in the construction of any lesson plan that these categories be recognized and followed accordingly.

The two chosen Missouri state standards.

            In Communication Arts like English learning, students in Missouri State schools will obtain a solid base which includes knowledge of and adeptness in Verbal communication and writing Standard English (including syntax, practice, punctuation, spelling, capitalization) and the second one being participating in official and casual presentations and debates of issues and ideas. Therefore under these acceptable standards, a draft lesson plan should correlate these standards with the Bloom and Madeline models and then evaluate the behavioral objectives. The later involves seven prescribed state which are; understanding of the knowledge and the human growth development, mastery if the content, effective classroom management, the use of the materials, planning for the teaching process, human relations and lastly instructional skills.
