Using 'Bloom's Taxonomy' to promote better sentences
Bloom's Taxonomy is a tool teachers often use to help tease out more in depth thinking from students during lessons. You can use this too when writing about a topic. It is particularly useful when putting together an argument for or against something. We start on the left-hand-side by choosing a 'starting' set of sentence starters. As we develop the piece of writing we move to the right hand side. Simply pick and choose a sentence starter that you like and you think 'fits' what you want to say. Have a go, you will become a more confident writer.
