Objective writing tries to tell the story in an unbiased manner, showing all sides to the story without passing judgement.
Subjective writing is from the point of view of one person or group, which means there will be judgements made on other persons/groups in the story without every looking at where they are coming from.

Basically, the differences between subjective and objective writing concern your own opinions. Subjective writings are things like persuasive essays, reviews/critiques or letters to the editor where you want your opinion known and elicit agreement from your readers. Examples of objective writings are research reports or fact-based essays where you are delivering the facts and let readers decide for themselves--you own opinion is not needed or wanted. If your teacher is cautioning you to "remain objective", you are letting your own views guide you writing.

Objective: There is a right or wrong answer.
Subjective: The correctness of the answer is subject to the writer and/or reader.
