Learning Language
Step One
Consider the words and phrases that come to mind when you describe what you think learning should look and feel like. In the space below, record as many words and phrases that come to mind. Do not limit yourself to what you think is acceptable or generally “approved” as words to describe learning.
Should look/feel like: Exciting, interesting, inspiring my effort, relates to my needs/interests, improves my life, fits my lifestyle, creates new connections to ideas and others, energizing.
Is sometimes: boring, not relevant, a waste of my time, tedious, a chore
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
Words that are all my own
I appreciate Bloom’s taxonomy and have used it in my teaching. My answer to the question does not yield a way to do this activity. In looking at the list Utica developed, I mostly agree with it, but a few words don’t seem to indicate a higher level of critical thinking in the section they are in. However, I think that the overall sense of each list does get at the level of thinking they are trying to illustrate.
Words that I would add from the document. . .and Why?
Words that I disliked from the document. . .and Why?
