BLOOMS TAXONOMY

We use Blooms taxonomy in our classes altough we don' t realise of that. For example, when we discuss a  new of a newspaper in class they (the students)have to interpret what they are reading and to infer deep meanings of some concepts (these two acts are related to the understanding part).

When they (the students) make a report about what they have just read they also analyze what they have understood. At the same time that they write their report they have to check if they have understood properly the text. That means that they have looked up at the dictionary  the words which  meaning didn' t know. Besides, they have had to clarify some concepts, to justify their statements and also to be critical about what they have just read. After that, they should conclude what they have just understood about the topics of the new. These acts are related to "evaluating".

If they have had to complete their report with some other information or classify the information they have read, then they are "applying".

Finally, when they produce their conclusions and they generate their final report they are "creating". So, in each activity, we use some of these processes that Blooms Taxonomy suggest without realizing.
