Bloom's and Questioning
______________________________________________________
A important way to raise the H.E.A.T. in the area of Higher Order Thinking is to change the level of questions that are asked in your classroom. Teachers must ask questions, and lead students to ask questions, at higher levels.
Blooms Keywords and Question Stems
Keywords
Look at the Keywords in the graphics below. Which of these do you most often use in your assignments? Raise the H.E.A.T. by incorporating a higher level of Keywords in your assignments.
Question Stems
Question Stems are question starters. Look through the Question Stems at each of the levels. Which most closely resemble the questions you ask your students? Turn up the H.E.A.T. in your classroom by asking questions from the Question Stems at a higher level.
