Identifying Bloom in Open

CourtReview your current unit of study in OpenCourt.

Look for questions in the Reading and

Responding Section, and identify the level ofcomplexity using Blooms Taxonomy.

Identify 5 ways to Bloom Up the questions to

reflect enhanced academic language using key

terms and question prompts, while addressingthe needs of your diverse learners. (See Task

Revised Blooms

TaxonomyHoping to add relevance to 21st century students

and teachers, Lorin Anderson and David

Krathwohl, along with other psychologists and

researchers worked from 1995-2000 developingadaptations to the original taxonomy.

Their new taxonomy resulted in useful and

comprehensive additions focusing on different

types and levels of knowledge.

Now Its Your Turn

Using Anderson and Krathwohls Taxonomy, plan

learning activities and/or strategic questions for a

lesson in one particular content area (ELA, math,

history/social science, or visual arts) that reflectseach level of the taxonomy.

Based on classroom data, use appropriate

evidence of scaffolds for acceleration or

intervention.
