Anderson’s Taxonomy (Bloom’s Taxonomy Revised):
Domains of Learning
Survey
Which of the following is an example of a creation
activity? (highest level of Anderson’s Taxonomy)
• Labeling a diagram with body part vocabulary.
• Using vocabulary words to write a personal
narrative.
• Reading a text and highlighting unknown words.
• Playing charades
Example 1: Jigsaw
Preparation:
• Create groups of four students and assign each group a
number
• Give each group an individual assignment.
▫ Example: Each group is given a vocabulary set
(weather, hobbies, sports) and must create a story
using the vocabulary words.
• After groups have had time to work, rearrange the
groups so that all new groups include exactly one
member from the original groups.
• Have students share their stories with the new group
members
Jigsaw Visual
Example 2: Gallery Walk
• Create spaces around the room
with questions or visual writing
prompts
• Allow the students to stand up
with their writing utensils and
make comments or respond to the
questions around the room
▫ You may provide them with sticky
notes or allow space on the posters
for the students to write directly on
the poster.
• Then, place them into small
groups to debrief or review the
activity
Pictionary
Directions:
• Place students in pairs or
teams and provide them with
a written or visual prompt.
• One person on each team is
the artist. The artist is not
allowed to see the prompt.
• The rest of the team
describes the prompt to the
artist while he or she tries to
draw what they hear.
• The team whose artist
completes their drawing
most accurately wins!

Editor's Notes

  • #7 Key word: STUDENTS! The students are the center of attention and in control of the learning.
  • #12 Before slide: Ask in free response, “How many students do you typically have in your classes?”
  • #14 Variations: Place students in small groups with a blank sheet of paper, ask them to create a story in English. Time them for five minutes, then ask the groups to rotate, and continue the next story they see from the group that preceded them. Go around the room until they arrive back to their original positions. Closing: Have students form small groups around the different writing prompts or visuals, tell them to examine the responses. Then, have each group present a summary of the responses to the rest of the class. ANYTHING on giant paper. Or Sticky notes.
