Bloom’s taxonomy refers to a classification of the different objectives that educators set for students (learning objectives). Bloom's taxonomy divides educational objectives into three "domains": Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor (sometimes loosely described as knowing/head, feeling/heart and doing/hands respectively). Collect/gather the information about the issue regarding animals and plants. Analyze the information collected whether it is true or not/acceptable or not. Select the best information in order to solve the issue and list out the pros and cons. Design the best and most suitable plane to solve the issue. Check the created plane whether it will work or not. Apply your plane in order to produce a valuable result by saving the animals and plants unique to our country. Government of Sri Lanka who are struggling to save, care, and protect the plants and animals can use the principles of blooms’ taxonomy theory in a poster made in 3 weeks that shows 4 colourful pictures about the plants and animals, 6 reasons and designed in Sinhala and English language for 6 months to save our country’s plants and animals for future in 3 years.
