The basic categories of Bloom's Taxonomy are knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Although I understood these categories, I didn't really grasp how to implement them in the classroom until I read an example on teaching "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" on http://www.ops.org/reading/blooms_taxonomy.html. There were concrete examples for each section that asked questions for students to answer or proposed activities and assignments that could be used to implement Bloom's taxonomy in teaching the lesson.
I found this website helpful especially when I put together my PowerPoint presentation on my lesson plan of Romeo and Juliet. It will also be helpful for future assignments. I am glad that I am now aware of Bloom’s taxonomy because I feel that it is important to know along with Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences theory. Hopefully, it will allow me to create more diverse lesson plans that encourage higher order thinking and reach all my students at their different levels of learning.
