Instructional Ideas

• Invite pupils to work with partners or in small groups to develop and answer the questions
• Take some time as a class to pick apart example questions that students come up with; you can discuss if they really meet certain levels of Bloom's and how an individual might answer the questions

Classroom Considerations

• Note that, since this is part of a unit, the plan says that learners will create questions for their own test during this assignment
• You may need to spend additional time explaining the different levels of Bloom's before sending learners off to create questions that correspond with each level

Pros

• Provides an example question chart with levels of Bloom's and questions clearly laid out
• See the materials for a graphic organizer that students can use to develop their questions

Cons

• None
