What is Bloom’s Taxonomy? A model for examining the different
levels of educational activities students are asked to do
6 levels of challenge Benjamin Bloom developed the
taxonomy in the 1950’s It was revised in early 2000’s with new
terminology

This is the highest level of thinking

Think of Bloom’s Taxonomy
as a TREE
A tree has 3 main parts:• Roots• Trunk• Branches with leaves
All of these parts are essential to the tree. All are important.
Metaphor
![Page 23: BLOOM’S TAXONOMY Levels of Thinking. What is Bloom’s Taxonomy? A model for examining the different levels of educational activities students are asked.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e355503460f94b248bf/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Tree Metaphor
The ROOTS of the tree are important to feed the tree the nutrients it needs in order to grow and flourish. Without strong roots, the tree will die. Roots keep the tree anchored.
ROOTS =REMEMBERING
![Page 24: BLOOM’S TAXONOMY Levels of Thinking. What is Bloom’s Taxonomy? A model for examining the different levels of educational activities students are asked.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e355503460f94b248bf/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
REMEMBERING
Although Remembering is the most basic level of thinking, it is essential.
Like tree roots, this level provides the nutrients to grow into the higher levels of thinking.
For example, you cannot compare and contrast two things until you know some facts about those things.

Tree Metaphor
The BARK of the tree holds everything together and protects and strengthens the tree.
BARK =UNDERSTANDIN

UNDERSTANDING
Once you learn some facts and information about a concept, it is important to check to be sure you really understand.
Like the bark on a tree, the Understanding level pulls all the information together and gives it direction.
For example, you may create an outline of a unit to strengthen your understanding of the facts.

Tree Metaphor
The TRUNK is the main part of the tree. It connects the roots to the high branches and leaves. Nutrients flow back and forth between the parts through the trunk. It should be strong.
TRUNK =APPLYING
![Page 28: BLOOM’S TAXONOMY Levels of Thinking. What is Bloom’s Taxonomy? A model for examining the different levels of educational activities students are asked.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e355503460f94b248bf/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
APPLYINGNow you know some of the important facts and you’re sure you understand them.
The next level is to use (apply) some of this information in a variety of ways. This will help you make the information a permanent part of your memory.
For example, when you practice math problems, you are more likely to remember the concepts of the unit.

Tree Metaphor
The LIMBS are the large branches that grow off of the trunk. They take the tree in new and different directions of growth. They make the tree more interesting and give it more coverage.
LIMBS =ANALYZING
![Page 30: BLOOM’S TAXONOMY Levels of Thinking. What is Bloom’s Taxonomy? A model for examining the different levels of educational activities students are asked.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e355503460f94b248bf/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
ANALYZINGThis is the level where thinking becomes “higher.”
Analyzing encourages you to look at your topic from different, more interesting angles. You will have to use the information from the lower levels in new ways. You will cover the topic more deeply.
For example, you may compare two different aspects of your topic.

Tree Metaphor
The LEAVES grow from the smaller branches of the tree. You can tell a lot about the tree by looking at the leaves. They show you how healthy the tree is and even what season it is. Different species of trees have different leaves. Some trees have more leaves than others. The shade provided by leaves is one reason people enjoy trees.
LEAVES =EVALUATING
![Page 32: BLOOM’S TAXONOMY Levels of Thinking. What is Bloom’s Taxonomy? A model for examining the different levels of educational activities students are asked.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e355503460f94b248bf/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
EVALUATINGThis is a high level of thinking, just like the leaves are high in the tree.
If the lower levels of your tree (your thinking) are not strong, you may not be able to produce a good canopy of leaves.
For example, in order to judge a concept you’ve learned, you need strong support from facts to back up your opinion.

Tree Metaphor
Bearing FRUIT (or nuts or seeds) is the ultimate fulfillment of the tree’s purpose. All of the components of the tree work together to create something new, the fruit. This creation results in the start of new trees.
FRUIT =CREATING
![Page 34: BLOOM’S TAXONOMY Levels of Thinking. What is Bloom’s Taxonomy? A model for examining the different levels of educational activities students are asked.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e355503460f94b248bf/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
CREATINGThis is the highest level of thinking on Bloom’s Taxonomy.
You take all the information, facts, practice, application, analysis, and evaluation you’ve done and create something new and unique, like the fruit of the tree.
For example, you may create a piece of artwork that shows the important aspects of a topic.

Once your tree has grown, think of all the possibilities…
What ideas will you find in your tree?
Tree Metaphor
![Page 36: BLOOM’S TAXONOMY Levels of Thinking. What is Bloom’s Taxonomy? A model for examining the different levels of educational activities students are asked.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e355503460f94b248bf/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Once your tree has grown, share the ideas in your tree…
Tree Metaphor
Working in groups helps you share your higher-level thinking with your classmates.
![Page 37: BLOOM’S TAXONOMY Levels of Thinking. What is Bloom’s Taxonomy? A model for examining the different levels of educational activities students are asked.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e355503460f94b248bf/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
You don’t want your tree to look like this~
If you stop challenging yourself at the Remembering or Understanding levels, you won’t be able to reach the higher levels of thinking. You won’t be able to sustain a canopy of leaves or bear fruit with your ideas.
Tree Metaphor
![Page 38: BLOOM’S TAXONOMY Levels of Thinking. What is Bloom’s Taxonomy? A model for examining the different levels of educational activities students are asked.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e355503460f94b248bf/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
You may need help growing your tree~
These higher-level thinking skills are challenging! 8th grade students are still developing these skills. Don’t be ashamed if you need help and time developing your high level thinking skills. If you are open to the challenge and are willing to try some new things, it will pay off in the long run!

WHY do you need to know this?
Metacognition: Understanding how you learn; understanding how your brain works.
Knowing how you learn and how your brain works helps you understand what your teachers are asking you to do, and why you should do it.
You will be able to better help yourself with learning throughout your life when you know what works for you.
