Dear students,
I'm giving you the world's accepted criteria of evaluation. These criteria are accepted also in Republic of Macedonia in all high schools.

Every level corresponds to the appropriate mark. Level VI corresponds to the talented students.

Bloom’s Taxonomy

Bloom’s Taxonomy provides an important framework for teachers. By providing a hierarchy of levels, this taxonomy can assist teachers
in designing performance tasks, crafting questions for conferring with students, and
providing feedback on student work
This resource is divided into different levels each with Keywords that exemplify the level
and questions that focus on that same critical thinking level. Questions for Critical
Thinking can be used in the classroom to develop all levels of thinking within the
cognitive domain.The six levels are:
Level I Knowledge
Level II Comprehension
Level III Application
Level IV Analysis
Level V Synthesis
Level VI Evaluation
Blooms Level I: Knowledge
Exhibits memory of previously learned material by recalling fundamental facts, terms,
basic concepts and answers about the selection.
Keywords:
who, what, why, when, omit, where, which, choose, find, how, define, label, show, spell,
list, match, name, relate, tell, recall, select
Questions:
• What is…? • Can you select? • Where is…? • When did ____ happen?
• Who were the main…? • Which one…? • Why did…? • How would you describe…?
• When did…? • Can you recall…? • Who was…? • How would you explain…?
• How did ___happen…? • Can you list the three..? • How is…?
• How would you show…?

Blooms Level II: Comprehension
Demonstrate understanding of facts and ideas by organizing, comparing, translating,
interpreting, giving descriptors and stating main ideas.
Keywords: compare, contrast, demonstrate, interpret, explain, extend, illustrate, infer,
outline, relate, rephrase, translate, summarize, show, classify
Questions:
• How would you classify the type of…? • How would you compare…? contrast…?

• What facts or ideas show…? • What is the main idea of ……?
• Which statements support…? • Which is the best answer…?
• What can you say about …? • How would you summarize… ?
• Can you explain what is happening…? • What is meant by…?

Keywords:
apply. build, choose, construct, develop, interview, make use of, organize, experiment
with, plan, select, solve, utilize, model, identify
Questions:
• How would you use…? • How would you solve ___ using what you’ve learned…?
• What examples can you find to…? • How would you show your understanding of…?
• How would you organize _______ to show…?
• How would you apply what you learned to develop…?
• What approach would you use to…? • What other way would you plan to…?
• What would result if…? • Can you make use of the facts to…?
• What elements would you use to change…? • What facts would you select to show…?
• What questions would you ask during an interview?

Blooms Level IV: Analysis
Examine and break information into parts by identifying motives or causes. Make
inferences and find evidence to support generalizations.
Keywords:
analyze, categorize, classify, compare, contrast, discover, dissect, divide, examine, inspect,
simplify, survey, test for, distinguish, list, distinction, theme, relationships, function,
motive, inference, assumption, conclusion, take part in
Questions:
• What are the parts or features of . . . ? • How is _______ related to . . . ?
• Why do you think . . . ? • What is the theme . . . ? • What motive is there . . . ?
• Can you list the parts . . . ? • What inference can you make . . . ?
• What conclusions can you draw . . . ? • How would you classify . . . ?
• How would you categorize . . . ? • Can you identify the different parts . . . ?
• What evidence can you find . . . ? • What is the relationship between . . . ?
• Can you make a distinction between . . . ? • What is the function of . . . ?
• What ideas justify . . . ?

Blooms Level V: Synthesis
Compile information together in a different way by combining elements in a new pattern
or proposing alternative solutions.
Keywords:
build, choose, combine, compile, compose, construct, create, design, develop, estimate,
formulate, imagine, invent, make up, originate, plan, predict, propose, solve, solution,
suppose, discuss, modify, change, original, improve, adapt, minimize, maximize, theorize,
elaborate, test, happen, delete

• How would you estimate the results for…? • What could be done to minimize
(maximize)…?

• How would you categorize…? • Can you identify the different parts…?
• What evidence can you find…? • What is the relationship between…?
• Can you make the distinction between…? • What is the function of
