The learning objectives written at Bloom’s level 2—comprehension—require the learners to be able to understand or grasp concepts. Further, learners need to restate what they have learned in their own words, translate knowledge into a new context, or interpret facts.
At Bloom’s level 2—comprehension—typical verbs used to start the learning objectives include: Outline, Explain, Compare, Contrast, and Restate.
