Mr Varty – Biology/Science

Another article that I have found useful, which I again discovered through Edmodo’s Professional Learning Community is: 249 Bloom’s Taxonomy Verbs For Critical Thinking.  Obviously these verbs are extremely useful when designing assessments and differentiating learning but I find them to be most helpful in planning the learning in my classroom and creating learning intentions and success criteria.

By clicking the picture above you can access a link to many Bloom’s Taxonomy posters that could be printed and displayed in your classroom.  These could be discussed in your classes to encourage pupils to challenge themselves more when given opportunities  for personalisation and choice.  Participants of the last Learning Round acknowledged that when we provided such opportunities to learners there were more learners than expected choosing an activity that did not sufficiently challenge them.

I particularly like the graphics that were created by Hello Literacy and can see how these could help me further improve my questioning technique.
