As the first level of critical thinking defined in Bloom’sTaxonomy, knowledge is the least complex and abstract. It is theobtaining and recall of information.
Knowledge is an important step in the building of effectivethinking and problem solving skills. If students are unable to “get”the information or recall it, their ability to think and reasonefficiently is very limited.
The activities in this unit provide practice in a variety of areasemphasizing knowledge. They help students identify those skillswhich require the ability to find and remember information.
All activities are reproducible for use in a variety of teaching,practice, and reinforcement situations. They are appropriate forwhole class, small group, or individual use. Oral discussion of thework as it is completed will increase the level of studentunderstanding.

Pioneer Homes
Pioneers were very careful about choosing a place to build their homes. They had to havewater nearby for drinking and cooking. They also needed many trees around. These were usedfor building the home and for making fires. The other thing they needed was good soil to growfood.
When the pioneers built a home, they put the walls up first. They cut logs and made slots sothey would fit together. Then, they set one log on top of another to make a wall. The roof wenton last. It was made of big pieces called “clapboard.” Then, they covered the roof with bark fromthe trees.
