This document discusses lower-order thinking skills (LOTS) and higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) based on Bloom's Taxonomy. LOTS involve basic comprehension skills like recalling facts and details. HOTS involve more complex skills like analysis, evaluation, and synthesis. The document provides examples of lower and higher-order questions for the story of Cinderella. It explains that while critical thinking involves both sides of the brain, HOTS focus more on analysis, synthesis and evaluation. Higher-order questions are best for deep, critical thinking rather than just testing comprehension.
