BLOOM'S REVISED TAXONOMY
Peter will explain Bloom's Revised Taxonomy to you. It is basically a way to think about learning. Teachers normally talk about it - but, it is valuable to you as a way to understand learning.


















DRIVING QUESTION
You must develop a 'driving question' to guide your research and creation.

What is a 'driving question'?
It is a question - a 'fat' question - a 'big' question. It is 'higher order' rather than 'lower order'.

Lower level questions are those at the remembering, understanding and lower level application levels of the taxonomy.
Examples:
How many...?
What is...?
Who was it that...?
Can I name ...?

Higher level questions
are those requiring complex application, analysis, evaluation or creation skills.
Examples:
How is...similar to...?
Can I distinguish between...?
Why is ....of value?
Can I create new and unusual uses for...?

3. Finish the Post by writing your 'driving question'. Copy this:
My 'driving question' is...
