11. BLOOM’S TAXONOMY OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT in Action
Re-evaluate your group’s categories. What changes would you make? Why?
Write one objective for each level of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Cognitive Development

Write 4 Objectives for each domain (affective, cognitive, psychomotor)
Write 3 objectives for the interpersonal domain
Indicate Related Domain
Identify Level within the Cognitive Domain
Include parts A, B, C, & D., but not necessarily in that order.
