All About Blooms

As we commence this new Unit of Inquiry it is important that you have an understanding of Blooms Taxonomy. Simply put Blooms Taxonomy is a way for the sorting and grouping of different levels of learning. All learning starts at the lower levels of knowledge and understanding. We then progress to higher order thinking skills such as comparing and contrasting, making graphs etc to show how we can apply our understanding of new knowledge. To help with your understanding of Blooms I have created the activity below based on the book “The Outsiders”. Please complete this activity and post in your blog.

3. Application- THINK of a situation that occurred to a character in the story “The Outsiders” and write about how you would have handled the situation differently.
There was a scene that Ponyboy and Johnny directly went in to the church that was on fire, if I was there, I won't just get in to the church like that, because it's really dangerous for my self, but I think it's the right disission for them to save the kids.

A character that's like a police, a "good" man, and truing to influence the greasers and socs to stop their fight.

6. Evaluation- DECIDE which character in the selection you would most like to spend a day with and describe why.
