  1. Objective: Understand QAR & Bloom's Taxonomy

  2. DO NOW – OCTOBER 5, 2011 Explain the difference between these two questions: • What color is the sky? • Why is the sky a certain color? Objective: Understand QAR & Bloom's Taxonomy

  3. Thick & Thin Questions There are two types of questions that can be asked. THICK – Questions that involve thought and making INFERENCES! THIN – Questions that are factual. Evidence is right in the text. Objective: Understand QAR & Bloom's Taxonomy

  4. Bloom’s Taxonomy Objective: Understand QAR & Bloom's Taxonomy

  5. Levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy… • Remembering: can the student recall or remember the information? Includes words such as : define, duplicate, list, memorize, recall, repeat, reproduce state • Understanding: can the student explain ideas or concepts? Includes words such as: classify, describe, discuss, explain, identify, locate, recognize, report, select, translate, paraphrase • Applying: can the student use the information in a new way? Includes words such as: choose, demonstrate, dramatize, employ, illustrate, interpret, operate, schedule, sketch, solve, use, write. • Analyzing: can the student distinguish between the different parts? Includes words such as: appraise, compare, contrast, criticize, differentiate, discriminate, distinguish, examine, experiment, question, test. • Evaluating: can the student justify a stand or decision? Includes words such as: appraise, argue, defend, judge, select, support, value, evaluate • Creating: can the student create new product or point of view? Includes words such as: assemble, construct, create, design, develop, formulate, write. Objective: Understand QAR & Bloom's Taxonomy

  6. Right There “Right There” questions require you to go back to the text and find the correct information to answer the question.  These are sometimes called literal questions because the correct answer can be found in one place in the text.  “Right There” questions sometimes include the words, “According to the text…”“How many…”“Who is…”“Where is…”“What is…” Objective: Understand QAR & Bloom's Taxonomy

  7. Right There Question Examples • Who was the president in 1884? • How many chemical elements can we find in salt? • What are the beginning and ending dates of World War II? • Where did the Battle of the Bulge take place? Objective: Understand QAR & Bloom's Taxonomy

  8. Think and Search “Think and Search” questions usually require you to think about how ideas or information in the text are related.  You will need to look back at the text, find the information that the question refers to, and then think about how the information or ideas fit together. The information may be in multiple places in the text. “Think and Search” questions sometimes include the words, “The main idea of the passage…”“What caused…”“Compare/contrast…” Objective: Understand QAR & Bloom's Taxonomy

  9. Think and Search Examples • Explain the difference between a solid and a gas. • Give reasons why the civil war began. • Find evidence in the article of causes of pollution. • Give at least three reasons why the south lost the civil war. Objective: Understand QAR & Bloom's Taxonomy

  10. Author and You “Author and You” questions require you to use ideas and information that are not stated directly in the text to answer the question.  These questions require you to think about what you have read and formulate your own ideas or opinions.  “Author and You” questions sometimes include the words, “The author implies…”“The passage suggests…”“The speaker’s attitude..,” Objective: Understand QAR & Bloom's Taxonomy

  11. Author and You Examples • How might the Watson family be similar to and different from your family? • Do you think Jacob’s dream will come true? Why or why not? • Discuss a time when you use tools and compare that to early man’s use of tools. • How is living in Alaska different from living where you live? Objective: Understand QAR & Bloom's Taxonomy

  12. On Your Own “On Your Own” questions can be answered using your background knowledge on a topic.  This type of question is the most infrequent question on tests of reading comprehension because it does not require you to refer to the text.  “On Your Own” questions sometimes include the words, “In your opinion…”  Based on your experience…”“Think about someone or something you know…” Objective: Understand QAR & Bloom's Taxonomy

  13. On Your Own Examples • What are some different uses for a wooden frame? • What are some ways that brothers and sisters help each other? • What would you do if you found a kayak? • What do you know about Arctic lands? Objective: Understand QAR & Bloom's Taxonomy
