       I found an article about writing instructional goals and objectives that uses basically a rubric.It is easy to follow and to understand. .It is called Bloom's Taxonomy. The article is from Vanderbilt University Center for teaching.It states that Blooms Taxonomy is is framework for categorizing educational goals created in 1956 by Benjamin Bloom.
        The framework consists of of six categories Knowledge,Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation.Each category is describe as to what it entails. The article also has links to further help you understand the framework.It gives you a brief history of how Blooms Taxonomy was created and why. The end of the article tells you why you should use Blooms version.Here is their answer:

1. Objectives (learning goals) are important to establish in a pedagogical interchange so that teachers and students alike understand the purpose of that interchange.
2. Teachers can benefit from using frameworks to organize objectives because
3. Organizing objectives helps to clarify objectives for themselves and for students.
4. Having an organized set of objectives helps teachers to:
   • “plan and deliver appropriate instruction”;
   • “design valid assessment tasks and strategies”;and
   • “ensure that instruction and assessment are aligned with the objectives.

For visual learners such as myself they have given a pyramid example of Bloom's Taxonomy
