Bloom's Taxonomy Homework

Dear All,

Thanks again for a good lesson yesterday. It was a bit un-planned, but because we couldn't get into the computer lab we had to make a quick change.

So, I'd like us all to continue thinking about Bloom's taxonomy, it is a subject we're going to come back to later in the year too.

Remember that Bloom talked about lower order and higher order thinking skills. Here is a list of the thinking skills in Bloom's revised taxonomy. I hope that today's task will give us an opportunity to use almost all of the skills.

Here is your homework task for this week:

1. So, first of all, what I would like us to do is a little bit of remembering and understanding. Please look again at the rubric for blogging tasks we look at in class. You can also download a copy here.
2. Read through the rubric. Look at all the different categories. Which one talks about relevance? Which one talks about links and images? Which one talks about grammar?
   
3. Now I'd like us to do some applying, analysing and evaluating. Please look at one or two posts from your blog (I think the Blogfest post would be a good idea.) Look at the rubric and think about what mark (voto) you would give your own posts. Look at a Blogfest post form one of your classmate's blogs. Again, evaluate your colleague's blog post and decide how well they would score using our rubric.
4. Now, the most interesting part for me as a teacher, the creating section of the homework. Please write a reflective blog post talking about your own blog, your colleagues blog and what you think about them so far. Talk about the parts you like of the blogs, then discuss the marks you would give them from the rubric. You should also offer some advice if there are any areas that need to improve.

I don't want to set a minimum length for you post. I would expect something about 100 words, but that is not mandatory. Remember, your posts will be given marks (voti) from the rubric, so check what you have written against the rubric.



Finally, please make sure you have replied to any comments where neccessary. I know that Denise and Teri have left comments on some of our blogs, and it's important that you reply (where relevant.) Also please check all your homework is up to date.

As always, contact me if you need help. I know that many of you have been working hard on your blogs. Keep up the good work - and - I will remember all your hard work at the Scrutinio ;-) !

Marks, Tests and Coursework.

Dear All,

I'm glad to see you're all getting going with your blogs. I hope you're not having too many problems. Please leave a comment here, or send me an email if you need some help.

Don't forget there will be very few or no tests (prove scitte) this year in the CLIL / ICT classes. You will be given marks (voti) based on the project work we are doing and how much English you use in class. For this reason, it is very important that you don't miss any of the work we do. Here is a quick list to remind you:

1) Check that you have done all the jobs from last weeks homework.

2) Complete all of this week's class work. Here is a list to remind you.

• Add your blog to the comments from last week's post.
• This must use the HTML code we learnt in class e.g.

< a href="inserireiltuoindirizzoqui" > TESTO CHE VUOI SCRIVERE QUI </a >

• If you cannot remember how to write the html, look at our lesson PowerPoint slides below.
  
• Write a comment to 5 of our classmates. Your comment should be more than just "hello" it should connect with your classmates and be relevant to their post. You can write your comment on either their introduction or their article about the blogfest.

Finally, I want to ask everyone to keep a register (registro) of all the blogging work you do. I will collect this when I am giving out marks (voti). For example AnnaT and Karin's register would look something like:

• October 25th - Set Up Blog.
• October 25th - Wrote Introduction on blog.
• October 26th Wrote post about the BlogFest
• November 2nd - Commented on Monica, Greta, Silvia, Veronica and Alberto's blogs
• November 6th - Read Teri (In Canada's) blog and left a comment....

Again, if you have any problems at all please contact Seth and he will help you.
