Bloom’s Taxonomy • Evaluation-judge, rank, rate, evaluate. • Synthesis-compose, design, develop. • Analysis-classify, contrast, sequence. • Application-construct, model, use. • Comprehension-describe, outline, classify. • Knowledge-name, list, choose, label.
WHAT CAN BE TIERED? • ACTIVITIES • CENTERS & STATIONS • ASSIGNMENTS • LEARNING CONTRACTS • ASSESSMENTS • MATERIALS • EXPERIMENTS • WRITING PROMPTS • HOMEWORK
Teired Assignments Advanced Tasks Most Complex More Challenging More Complex Basic Tasks Least Complex

Side dishes/dessert (Choose one) Student will write and illustrate a book that can be used to teach one aspect of acids and bases. Student will write words and music (or use a familiar tune) to prepare a song that teaches one aspect of acids and bases. Student will develop a game that can be used to teach some aspect of acids and bases.
