Bloom’s Taxonomy theory is the hierarchy of understanding student behaviour. Three things that have really inspired me about this theory is how it can help me become a better teacher to my students, how it will help me understand my students and they way they learn, and how it will help me to teach the curriculum in a different ways to engage the children to enjoy the subject.

(“Bloom’s Taxonomy”, 2017)

Two things that have intrigued me about the theory are the verbs that are used in the theory for each high and low order thinking skills and how it covers the learning objectives in cognitive, affective and sensory domains. One thing i need to look into about the theory is how to use this theory in the classroom and how to implementing it in the classroom.
