14. Levels of Thinking (Bloom) Create Evaluate Analyze Apply Understand Remember No info transfer Allows for transfer of info

15. Remember Description: recall specific ideas and info Examples: Recite a Haiku poem. List the characteristics of a mammal

16. Understand Description: comprehend ideas, meanings & info Examples: Paraphrase a Haiku poem. Explain the characteristics of a mammal.

17. Apply Description: use information, ideas and principles in new situations Examples: Dramatize a Haiku poem. Use the characteristics of mammals to determine if a new creature is a mammal or non-mammal

18. Analyze Description: break down info into its parts Examples: Infer the meaning of a Haiku poem. Compare and contrast characteristics of mammals and reptiles

19. Evaluate Description: judge the value or ideas, purposes and methods Examples: Critique a Haiku poem based on criteria. Support their reasoning for identifying an organism as a mammal.

20. Create Description: put together parts to make a whole and do something new with the information Examples: Compose a Haiku poem. Create a new mammal.

32. Lesson Alignment Within Learning Objectives State standard or foundational knowledge Topic (noun) Level of Thinking (verb) Do (noun + verb)

33. Possible Assessment Formats u whiteboards u clickers (do not only use for lower level thinking) u index cards (choices on cards) u hand signals (use variety of signals connected to content) u visual card (student touches correct answer on card or I dont know section on card) u ticket-out-the-door (serves as closure and assessment) u walk around and listen for responses (oral or written)

34. Topic: decimals Level of Thinking: analyze Do: u place decimals on a number line in order OR u identify the smallest decimal Math P.O 1: Compare and order real numbers including very large and small integers, and decimals and fractions close to zero. MODEL
