Educational psychologist, Bloom’s levels of analysis

How to analyse.Level 1 (4/5C): Recognise techniques/quote- In groups find techniques that are used or highlight powerful sentences.

Level 2 (5A): Understand: Explain the most obvious effect- Pick one quote and explain the literal meaningOR- Explain the effect of the technique.

Level 3 (6C): Analyse (Interpret): Look at other possible meanings- Pick individual words from the quote and do a spider diagram of what those words might mean/connote/symbolise.

Level 4 (6A/7): Relate to question/themes/patterns in the text/Writer's aim- How does your analysis relate to the question?OR- Can you find any other patterns in the language? Are there any other themes or ideas that you can

relate this to?

Level 5 (7/AF7): Evaluate- How likely is your interpretation based on what you know about the writer/society?

Dramatic irony?
