As teachers, we always need additional resources to help make planning easier. Through the years, I have compiled this list of Bloom's Taxonomy action verbs, stems, and sample questions to assist in planning for Geography and Social Studies lessons. There are a series of questions and stems for knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. It is always nice to have this handy to refer to while planning.

Using Bloom's Taxonomy allows you to ascertain if your students have a basic understanding, yet allows you to raise the bar in developing guiding questions via cognitive, psychomotor & affective domains.

INCLUDES

• 100+ Key Terms/Action Verbs
• 125+ Stems
• 144+ Sample Guiding Questions

This is a great resource for beginning teachers as they develop their student's high-level thinking skills.
