I love working with Bloom's Taxonomy because I believe that the support for creating questions is unbelievable. Some people don't understand that creating ten good questions is a difficult process that requires a lot of thought. I currently create three-four questions for every chapter that my students are reading in their novels. I try to start at the knowledge level of Bloom's with the first question and move up the scale by the time the third question is asked so that they have to decide what they think.
I really enjoyed creating the table from Casey's journalism class because it allowed me to think about how the questions are worded and what I could do for my final project. I will add my taxonomy table from the journalism class here before I post.
For my online class, I am going to work with the Holocaust. I already have a webquest that needs some updates that will help me meet some of the requirements. Because I already have part of this created, I may double up and create two possible courses with the other being about disabilities. This way, both of my current reading classes could try this process out for me yet this school year.
I'm going to be honest, after working so closely last week with Sandra and Heather, I've missed some of that constant communication this week. It would have been hard to fit it in because our readings and work were pretty extensive as matching Bloom's is difficult, but I did miss the feedback. Maybe for the final project, we can have some sort of review partner to help along the way?
Thanks,
Mrs. Meyer

Laura, your comments have added more insight into just how well your team worked. Yes, please do compare notes with others as you progress in your final project.
You did an excellent job on your taxonomy table - seeing it here in your blog with your comments is further evidence that you truly understand excellent assessment and planning.
Thank you. ~ Datta Kaur
