8. "Bloom's Taxonomy"

Bloom's Taxonomy contains different objectives used for developing higher level thinking skills. It is a model used by teachers to present ideas and concepts to a variety of students on different learning levels. There are six levels to Bloom's Taxonomy: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. His Taxonomy can be used for all grade levels and content areas. Teachers can asses students on different learning levels. Within each level of the Taxonomy, there are various tasks that the student must overcome. A list of verbs  are provided for each level of Bloom's taxonomy for teachers to use when creating their lesson plan that focuses on the specific level. Bloom's taxonomy is useful because it extends learning from simply remembering to more complex cognitive structures, like analyzing and evaluating students in the classroom.
