10. Bloom’s Taxonomy: Original and Revised Evaluation Synthesis Analysis Application Comprehension Knowledge Creating Evaluating Analyzing Applying Understanding Remembering (Based on Pohl, 2000, Learning to Think, Thinking to Learn, p. 8)

11. Sample Unit: Travel Remembering List all the ways you can travel from one place to another. Describe one of the vehicles from your list, draw a diagram and label the parts.

Analyzing Make a mural showing children using bikes safely. Write a report about problems with modern forms of transport and their uses. Compare boats to planes. Evaluating What changes in traffic laws do you think would prevent accidents? Rate transport from slow to fast etc.. Creating Design a vehicle. Draw or construct it after careful planning. What sort of transport will there be in twenty years? Discuss, write about it and report to the class.
