All of my lessons are designed to work through the levels of learning according to Bloom's Taxonomy. Lessons start with information given to students through field trip links and then student learning works through the Bloom's levels to help guide and build learning. Students first show knowledge with basic recall questions from video answer question worksheets. Next students demonstrate comprehension by retelling key ideas with guided worksheet questions. Application is included with allowing students the opportunity to show what they have learned in worksheet tasks. Next students move to the analysis then synthesis stage of Bloom's Taxonomy by creating and synthesizing their own products or inventing using what they learned. Last students evaluate by both evaluating the content they created with specifically designed worksheets then evaluating their own work with self-assessment opportunity included.
