Bloom's Taxonomy & Deep Learning

When we read books aloud or facilitate novel reading by students in front of us, in order to cultivate learning, we need to question students. Only when we prompt deep learning do students process the novel and its elements. Bloom's six - stage Taxonomy helps us understand how to progress from knowledge and comprehension to evaluating and creating. At the lower order thinking skills, students are not challenged to process as much as they are at the higher order skill levels. This podcast walks the listener through these stages and what they mean.
