The document provides a crosswalk comparing Bloom's Taxonomy and Webb's Depth of Knowledge (DOK) levels. It outlines the cognitive demand levels of each framework and provides example verbs for each level. Level 1 involves recalling facts and basic comprehension. Level 2 includes applying skills and concepts. Level 3 requires analyzing by breaking down information into parts. Level 4 involves synthesizing and evaluating by making judgments or combining ideas into new concepts.
