BLOOM’S TAXONOMY/MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES PLANNING GRID
Benjamin Bloom created a taxonomy of thinking levels in the 1950's. Today educators use Bloom's Taxonomy to create challenging and sophisticated activities for learning.
Knowledge - Get your facts right!- the easiest of thinking levels where you need to describe and identify things to show you have remembered or learned.
Comprehension - What does it all mean?- this type of thinking activity is to show that you understand what you have learned.
Application - Use it or lose it! - you'll need to think a little harder to do these activities where you'll need to make use of information to make something.
Analysis - Breakdown - these thinking activities need to connect and organise information.
Synthesis - Creating new things - this level of thinking needs to you take little pieces of information and create something new.
Evaluation - Judge and Jury - with these activities you'll need to make judgements and think hard to support your opinions.
