3 Storey House

Blooms Taxonomy and the Three Story House

There are one-story intellects, two-story intellects and three-story intellects with skylights. All fact collectors who have no aim beyond their facts are one-story men. Two-story men compare, reason, generalize, using the labour of fact collectors as their own. Three-story men idealize, imagine, predict - their best illumination comes from above the skylight.

Teachers use Blooms Taxonomy when planning for learning and formulating a variety of questions and learning experiences in all curriculum areas. They are aware of the importance of developing deeper order thinking and critical analysis skills.
