  1. HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILLS When we talk about HOTS "higher-order thinking skills" we're concentrating on the top three levels of Bloom's Taxonomy: analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.

  2. Questions that tap higher level thinking

  3. Asking "Good" Questions to Promote Higher Order Thinking Skills To increase higher order thinking: • How did you get that answer? • Can you explain your thinking? • What makes that tricky? • What would happen if…? • What words in the story prove that? • Can you give an example of that?

  4. BLOOM’S TAXANOMY Higher Order Thinking Skills, also called critical thinking skills categorizes lesson activities and questions into a pyramid. HOTS are categorized from the top down, in order of skill required and educational value of question type. • Evaluation - Making decisions  • Synthesis - Using information in new ways to create new things • Analysis - Identifying components  • Application - Using information to solve given problems  • Comprehension - Restating, paraphrasing, summarizing •  Knowledge - Rote fact recall (These are on the bottom because they are both the most common and least effective)
