Bloom’s Six Levels

Level 1(Knowledge) – Recall. Remembering previously learned material, recalling facts, terms, basic concepts from stated text. (Name, List, Recognize, Choose, Label, Relate, Tell, Recall, Match, Define)

Level 2 – Understand (Comprehension). Demonstrating understanding of the stated meaning of facts and ideas. (Compare, Describe, Outline, Organize, Classify, Explain, Rephrase, Show, Relate, Identify)

Level 2 1/2 – Infer. Demonstrating understanding of the unstated meaning of facts and ideas. (Speculate, Interpret, Infer, Generalize, Conclude)

Level 3 – Put to Use (Application). Solving problems by applying acquired knowledge, facts, and techniques in a different situation. (Apply, Construct, Model, Use, Practice, Dramatize, Restructure, Simulate, Translate, Experiment)

Level 4 – Break down (Analysis). Examining and breaking down information into parts. (Analyze, Diagram, Classify, Contrast, Sequence, Simplify, Summarize, Relate to, Categorize, Differentiate)

Level 5 – Put together (Synthesis). Compiling information in a different way by combining elements in a new pattern. Compose, Design, Develop, Propose, Adapt, Elaborate, Formulate, Originate, Solve, Invent)

Level 6 – Judge (Evaluation). Presenting and defending opinions by making judgments about information based on criteria. (Judge, Rank, Rate, Evaluate, Recommend, Defend, Justify, Prioritize, Support, Prove)

Applying Bloom’s. Using the story Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Knowledge – List the items used by Goldilocks while she was in the Bears’ house.
Comprehension – Explain why Goldilocks liked Baby Bear’s chair the best.
Application – Demonstrate what Goldilocks would use if she came to your house.
Analysis – Compare this story to reality. What events could not really happen.
Synthesis – Propose how the story would be different if it were Goldilocks and the Three Fish.
Evaluation – Judge whether Goldilocks was good or bad. Defend your opinion.
