Educational experiences can be arranged in a continuum from simple to complex. One such continuum is known as Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning (link enclosed below). The two enclosed pictures: one of the 8th grade team in last minute preparations for their debate on the entry of the United States into World War I, and the other is a group of 6th graders huddle around their frostbite poster which illustrates the concepts to be covered in their simulated role-play. Synthesis, evaluation, and creative application of knowledge are all very high order thinking skills exhibited by these learning tasks.
