In this activity, we can see the most common questions in a reading comprehension but; are they useful to develop the reading skill?
If you reflect on the kind of
activities that teachers used to develop with their students, we
can notice that we are developing the lower order
thinking skills (remember, understand and apply)
What about “analyse , evaluate and
create”? We need that our students reflect on their learning and
also, they need to be competent to create in
reference to their own ideas and opinions, to
make decisions and evaluate each situation and to analyse
whatever that they are interested in.
In this way, maybe it is necessary to
review the Bloom’s taxonomy.
We
suggest some questions/activities:
- Create
a new ball for the dog. Decide the colour and what
the dog will do with it.
-
Do
you think cats and dogs play in the same way? Why (not)?
-
Suggest
other toy to my dog and try to persuade him that
this one it is better than the ball.
What do you think? Can you
suggest us any question/activity according to the High stages?
