More Bloom's Questions

In Previous posts, we discussed the importance of asking students higher level questions - higher on Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning, that is.  This week students read an excerpt from Anne Frank's Diary.  Today they worked on answering analysis, synthesis and evaluation questions related to the text.  Here are the questions:

1.  Analysis:  If you had to go into hiding like Anne and her family, what 3 items would you take with you and why?

2.  Synthesis:  Create a short diary/journal entry as if you are living in hiding.  Include information about how you feel and what you do to keep busy.

3.  Evaluation:  Was it right for Anne's father to publish Anne's Diary after her death?  Why or why not?

Today's homework:

     1.  Spelling practice test.

     2.  Math Miss W:  RW98, PW98 1-8.

                  Mr. Spaulding:  PW75

     3.  Read for half an hour.

     4.  Study Social Studies Review sheet
