We started out last week by reading a short article I found online. We focused just on a few paragraphs that helped us to understand what Bloom's Taxonomy is and what the levels were. Then we moved onto the real study of the different levels of questioning.
Students learned a little song and they've really enjoyed singing it and taking turns singing it in class (volunteers only for singing it alone).
I did find that some of my students were a bit confused about the homework/practice and we had to go back. I think this is because I didn't explain the directions very well. We lost time the day before due to assemblies and I was trying to make up for it. Next time I'll just push it back a day if I need to so they have enough time to fully understand the directions and what I'm asking them to do.
Right now we're about to start working on the posters that will be posted in my room. I'm actually going to have a contest next week and let the students vote on the best overall posters in each level. I think they'll enjoy it. I'll have my two highest posters go up. One in the hall and the other in my room. The room will be permanent and the ones in the hall will join my room later on in October.

They are completing the posters in groups this week. I can't wait to show you the results!
