AYE, AYE CAP’N!

WELL, YOU’VE HEARD OF BLUEBERRY,

HOW ABOUT BLOOMBERRY !

HUH?
Bloom's
Taxonomy was
created in 1956 under
the leadership of
educational psychologist
Dr. Benjamin Bloom
 The
term taxonomy is defined
as: “The branch of science
concerned with classification,
especially of organisms;
systematics.”
•
Cognitive: mental skills (Knowledge)
•

Affective: growth in feelings
or emotional areas (Attitude
or self)
•

Psychomotor: manual or
physical skills (Skills)

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH PIE?
 REMEMBERING
BLOOM’S
TAXONOMY AS BLOOMBERRY PIE
HELPS US TO REMEMBER ALL THE
PARTS OF BLOOM’S TAXONOMY
 AND THIS WILL BE ON A TEST SO,
YES, YOU DO NEED TO MEMORIZE
IT!
 PIE
IS MADE OF TWO PARTS
(CRUST AND FILLING)
 BLOOM’S
TAXONOMY ALSO
HAS TWO PARTS.
(HAVING AND DOING)
 THE
FOUNDATION OF A PIE
IS THE CRUST, AND THE
FOUNDATION OF LEARNING
IS BASED ON REMEMBERING
AND UNDERSTANDING INFO
THAT WE ALREADY KNOW.
 L.O.T.S.
STANDS FOR LOWER
ORDER THINKING SKILLS
WHICH ARE THE FIRST TWO
PARTS OF BLOOM’S
TAXONOMY.
 THESE TWO ARE THE “HAVING”
PART OF LEARNING

SO THINK OF A PIE, YOU WANT LOTS
(L.O.T.S.) OF CRUST !
 CAREFUL
WITH THE FILLING
BECAUSE IT IS H.O.T.S!
 HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILLS
(HOTS) ARE THE REST OF BLOOM’S
TAXONOMY
 THESE
ARE THE “DOING” PART OF
LEARNING

WELL, IT’S NOT BLUEBERRY,
 IT’S
CREVALANAPPL
FILLING, OF COURSE!
 LET’S
BREAK THE WORD
DOWN
CRE
EVAL
ANA
APPL
CREATE
EVALUATE
ANALYZE
APPLY
 MR.
RICE, THIS IS AMAZING STUFF!
 DID
YOU MAKE THIS
COMPARRISON UP YOURSELF?

YEP, I DID.
SO NOW WE HAVE L.O.T.S. OF
CRUST (REMEMBERING AND
UNDERSTANDING)
AND CREVALANAPPL FILLING
THAT IS H.O.T.S. (APPLYING,
ANALYZING, EVALUATING, AND
CREATING)
 LET’S
START WITH WHAT
EACH PART REALLY IS.
 THE
NEXT 7 SLIDES WILL
TELL US WHAT EACH OF
THE 6 PARTS ARE MADE OF
AND HOW WE USE THEM.



MMM…
SMELLS GOOD DON’T IT?
SMELLS LIKE BRAINS GROWING CELLS
 BLOOMBERRY
PIE WITH
CREVALANAPPL FILLING!
THE END

Create a 12 question quiz
(2 from each of the 6 Bloom’s categories)

4 of them must be multiple choice

Only one can be true/false (if you even want to have one)

Label the category of questions in the margin (remembering,
understanding, etc.)

Circle your Bloom verb in your questions (what they are being
asked to DO)
My example on baking chocolate chip cookies:
 Remembering level List the basic ingredients you need to make chocolate chip cookies.
 Understanding level Explain why turning the temperature up and cooking for a shorter
time is a bad idea.
 Application level Describe how flour is significant in baking cookies.
 Analyzing level Classify the ingredients by sorting them into dry and wet groups.
 Evaluating level Elaborate on what criteria would you use to determine the best size
of cookies.
 Creating level Suggest 3 solutions that would work for people who have celiac
disease but want to eat chocolate chip cookies.
