Post 1: Using Bloom's Taxonomy In The Classroom

RCE Teachers,

At any time, let me know if you would like to volunteer to have photos or videos taken of your students in action modeling use of Bloom's Taxonomy Questions/Lessons in your classrooms! As long as you have an internet permission parent form on file we can post.

Read the following Bloom's Taxonomy Resource(s) and respond to the questions in the blog.

Bloom's Taxonomy Question Stems (http://www.meade.k12.sd.us)
Using Blooms To Write Objectives  (from UNC: Center For Teaching and Learning)

Please reference the following questions in your responses along with any other thoughts.
How have you moved student learning through the levels of Blooms Taxonomy? Provide an example? Did you feel this increased the Rigor of the lesson? How?

Here is a Mrs. Graves 4th grade classroom I had the opportunity to visit with.Watch as she explains the set up of her Spanish Missions integrated stations. She used Blooms Taxonomy through questioning the students before and after the station activity.

corn husks as the Native American did years ago.

did many years ago. Remember, they took a vow
of silence.  : )
