Step Two
Now, review Bloom’s Taxonomy of Measurable Verbs (from Utica College) and compare the words and phrases in that document to the ones you chose. Below, fill out the sections based on what you chose and what you see in that document.
Words that appear on both lists
I think maybe none?? Is this bad? In my defense, I am in the arts, and we tend to do things a little differently-haha
Words that are all my own
Okay- well, I appreciate Bloom’s words, and seeing a measurable scale of verbs; what really strikes me is how different mine are from that list. It is as if we were asked two different questions, but are after the same goals.
Plus, I chose adjectives, and Bloom’s list is comprised of verbs-but mine feels more active to me.
Hmmmm… So much food for thought here.
Words that I would add from the document. . .and Why?
| Word | Why |
|---|---|
| Organize | I think it’s necessary to make my whole list above work |
Words that I disliked from the document. . .and Why?
| Word | Why |
|---|---|
| none- | the list is comprehensive, but dry. To me, it does not feel particularly inspirational. |
