Blooms Taxonomy – Best
Bloom’s Taxonomy of Measurable Verbs
Benjamin Bloom created a taxonomy of measurable verbs to help us describe and classify observable knowledge, skills, attitudes, behaviors and abilities. The theory is based upon the idea that there are levels of observable actions that indicate something is happening in the brain (cognitive activity.) By creating learning objectives using measurable verbs, you indicate explicitly what the student must do in order to demonstrate learning. Verbs that demonstrate Critical Thinking

Watch Out for Verbs that are not Measurable
In order for an objective to give maximum structure to instruction, it should be free of vague or ambiguous words or phrases. The following lists notoriously ambiguous words or phrases which should be avoided so that the intended outcome is concise and explicit.
2. Warm-Up Activities
As a teacher, you always have to start with a warm-up when you begin a class to help the students waking up and start thinking about what they learned previously. The warm-up can be a quick review of the subject or a pre-lesson exercise of the new lesson. At the end of the warm-up, the teacher would take a look at where the student is at in terms of the exposure to the material they are going to learn or have learned in the previous lesson as a review.
Without Technology
Talk About…
– You have two minutes… introduce yourself to your partner.
• Now… introduce your partner to the group by sharing one interesting fact they told you.
• SWITCH! Variations Change the topic by giving a question – What did you do on the weekend? – What will you do at the weekend?
– Freestyle
How well do you know the teacher?
– Ask students to write down 5 questions they would like to ask you.
• Ask one student to come to the front.
