  5. Knowledge skills: arrange, repeat, recall, define, list, match, name, order, narrate, and describe. • Comprehension skills: summarize, classify, explain, discuss, give examples, and identify. • Application skills: demonstrate, solve, change, discover, experiment, interpret, show, and present. • Analysis skills: analyze, experiment, examine, compare, contrast, associate, dissect, conclude, and test. • Synthesis skills: collect, assemble, compose, develop, design, invent, create, plan, revise, role-play, and theorize. • Evaluation skills: compare, assess, contrast, criticize, debate, judge, value, predict, estimate, and appraise.
