Applying Bloom's Taxonomy to the Casey report was the largest component for this week's learning. I was introduced to Bloom's chart when I was an undergrad & 10 years later it's still around. I think application of higher level thinking projects has merit beyond a simple assignment or quick dismissal -- The taxonomy should be on the forefront of our minds in all assessment and learning activities. In fact, I do use it when I'm creating our choice boards for senior English; it certainly does make it easier to service different levels of learners. I've included the e-article of Bloom's supplied by Laurie:
