Art. 3D Drawing — Group Game This activity is ideal for art classes, but will also work at home with just two or three students.

Art

It’s great for any age, but you do need to be able to draw basic 3D shapes such as a cube or a pyramid. A review page showing what you need to be able to draw is included with the instructions. Each person does their own whimsical 3D drawing, but all members of the group contribute an idea for element of the drawing. My middle school art class enjoyed it so much we had to do it two it two weeks in a row.

Developing Questions for Critical Thinking

Benjamin Bloom Handbook on Formative and Summative Evaluation of Student Learning Bloom’s original taxonomy (developed in the 1950's) divided the way people learn into three domains: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. In the 1990's Lorin Anderson, a former student of Bloom revised the original cognitive domain. The original Bloom's taxonomy is still relevant, but under the new revisions the six major categories of the cognitive domain were changed from noun to verb format and some subcategories were reorganized. The revised taxonomy is preferred by some educators as a more authentic tool for curriculum planning, instructional delivery, and assessment.
