Bloom's Taxonomy Example

Question

I need an example of a Bloom's Taxonomy, (it can be made up) however, it needs to include a question and a response for all the categories (knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation). Thank you,

Answer 1

How is the development of vocabulary an example of Bloom's taxonomy?

Remember: Sight words are a great example of this. You just have to memorize them as they do not follow the rules of English language. You cannot just sound them out. Identification of words you can sound out as well develops vocabulary. Learning the words I, want, milk, and water.

Understand: As your vocabulary develops you can determine different kinds of words and sort them into categories. Categories include nouns, verbs, pronouns, adjectives etc. Understanding "I" is a pronoun, "want" is a verb and "milk and water" are nouns.

Apply: Use your vocabulary to label for example using "milk" and "water" to identify those items.

Analyze: Using your vocabulary to communicate, you formulate questions about new vocabulary or concepts.You can determine if the vocabulary you are using is appropriate depending on if your needs and wants are being met when you request. For example you state,"I want milk" but really wanted water and your communication partner brings you milk. You would then know milk was not the correct word and have to come up with the word "water" to have your need met.

Evaluate: Using your acquired vocabulary, you can defend your choice in wanting water over milk if someone questions you.

Create: Investigating the benefits and risk of drinking water vs. milk. Determine which is a healthier solution and explain it to others.
