Instructional Ideas
  • Use this strategy, and the cubes you create, at other points in the novel as well
  • Create your Bloom's cubes with cardstock for longer use
Classroom Considerations
  • Assumes some prior knowledge of Bloom's Taxonomy or student ability to be able to answer higher-order questions
  • It is a bit unclear if the dice-tossing activity is done as a whole class, in small groups, on in pairs; you will need to decide the exact procedure
Pros
  • Includes a template for creating a Bloom's Taxonomy cube
  • Comes with questions to go with each side of the cube and a worksheet for recording responses and ideas
Cons
  • None
