This topic is also discussed more extensively in my book Now THAT’S a Good Question! How to Promote Cognitive Rigor Through Classroom Questioning published by ASCD.

KEY FEATURES:

• The base level of Bloom’s Taxonomy is Recognize, not Remember, to encourage more active thinking and learning.
• The category Synthesize is placed between Evaluate and Create.  Synthesize is when learning becomes more affective than cognitive, asking students to reflect and respond to what they are learning with emotions and thoughts.  Create is how students express and share their learning in their own unique way.
