Learning Objectives 1

(Exercise for all, groups of 2, 10 minutes plus 10 to compare)

Formulating Learning Objectives can be hard. We introduced Bloom’s Taxonomy in the presentation. This exercise is for you to exercise this.

Before you start this exercise, give yourself a rating (5 stars = you will complete this exercise with ease, 1 star = you will struggle with this exercise and likely not complete it). Write this rating down here (with writing this down, you signal us that you want to participate):

Join up in pairs and formulate one sentence for each of the taxonomy categories (typical verbs to use are listed in brackets at the end of each bullet).

Bloom’s Taxonomy

As an example, choose one of the following topics:

At the end of this exercise, each pair should have at least 6 sentences available - one for each of the categories above.
