249 Bloom's Taxonomy Verbs For Critical Thinking Bloom’s Taxonomy’s verbs–also know as power verbs or thinking verbs–are extraordinarily powerful instructional planning tools. In fact, next to the concept of backwards-design and power standards, they are likely the most useful tool a teacher-as-learning-designer has access to. Why? They can be used for curriculum mapping, assessment design, lesson planning, personalizing and differentiating learning, and almost any other “thing” a teacher–or student–has to do. For example, if a standard asks students to infer and demonstrate an author’s position using evidence from the text, there’s a lot built into that kind of task. Though the chart below reads left to right, it’s ideal to imagine it as a kind of incline, with Knowledge at the bottom, and Create at the top. 249 Bloom’s Taxonomy Verbs For Critical Thinking
A Life of Productivity – The top 10 lessons I learned from A Year of Productivity When I graduated University with a business degree last May, I received two incredible full-time job offers, both of which I declined because I had a plan. For exactly one year, from May 1, 2013, through May 1, 2014, I would devour everything I could get my hands on about productivity, and write every day about the lessons I learned on A Year of Productivity. Over the last 12 months I have conducted countless productivity experiments on myself, interviewed some of the most productive people in the world, and read a ton of books and academic literature on productivity, all to explore how I could become as productive as possible, and then write about the lessons I learned. One year, 197 articles, and over one million hits later, I’ve reached the end of my year-long journey, but not before going out with a bang. To close out my year of productivity, I have assembled a collection of all of the biggest things I’ve learned in my journey to become as productive as possible. 10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 1. 5.
I Gave Up Gluten, Alcohol, Sugar, Coffee, Meat & More For 21 Days. Here's What I Learned Aside from the days when I was strict vegan, I’d never consciously given up anything. I have friends who are gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free, etc. I wondered why that didn’t appeal to me. Was there something I was unaware of in my own body? Do I, too, have sensitivities that should be addressed? To find out, I decided to do a serious cleanse. For 21 days in the middle of an action-packed summer, I gave up sugar, gluten, dairy, dark meats, nightshade vegetables (peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplants), alcohol, and (the hardest part) coffee. Here’s what I learned: 1. Real hunger comes on gradually, while emotional hunger seems to strike immediately. 2. Even natural sugars, like dried fruit. 3. I had a rather lavish gluten-filled dinner one night after the cleanse and experienced what I can only describe as a gluten hangover the next morning. 4. I’m a fan of top-shelf sipping tequila — shaken on ice with a lime, thank you. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20.

Time Hack: Start a maintenance day – A Life of Productivity Takeaway: Group all of your “maintenance tasks” together on one day to be (and feel) more productive. Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes, 34s. But it’s easily skimmable. I have a Sunday ritual called “maintenance day”. On maintenance day, I lump all of the boring tasks that most people do throughout the week into one solid block of time on one day. Every Sunday, for straight five or six hours, I do every undesirable task that people typically do during the week. Grouping these tasks together has had its benefits. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

The Six Stages of Mental Strength | Leveraging Adversity Many people think that mentally strong people are simply born that way. That from the moment their feet hit the ground, they are simply endowed with some almost supernatural skill that allows them to face challenges bravely. Others think that mental strength is like a light bulb – it is either turned on or turned off. What most people don’t know is that mental strength it is neither a genetic gift, nor a character trait. Here are the six stages of mental strength: Disruption. Uncertainty. Reconsideration. Search for Meaning. Recrafting the Narrative. Building Agency. Becoming mentally strong isn’t about having all the answers, never feeling weak, or never admitting defeat. Claire Dorotik-Nana is the author of LEVERAGE: the Science of Turning Setbacks into Springboards.

A Look at Life Inside a 1969 Hippie Tree House Village in Hawaii (NSFW) Diane Upstairs in tne Bedroom Hawk, Cherry and Moses The School Teacher’s House Taylor Camp, says Hawaii-based photographer John Wehrheim, was not a commune, and there were no rules. Wehrheim arrived in Kauai in 1971 at the age of twenty-three, bearing only a bag, a surfboard, and a bong. When he first ventured into the camp, the photographer was met with a degree of suspicion. People came to Taylor Camp in search of an existence sequestered from the violence that dominated mainstream media and life. Taylor Camp stood for eight years, until in 1977 it was razed to the ground. These days, Wehrheim is a member of the Taylor Camp Facebook group, and he frequently reconnects with former residents, and in addition to the book, he has created a film to honor his friends from Taylor Camp.
