  7. DOK Level 2 Skill/Concept: Basic Reasoning • Requires mental processing beyond recall or reproducing an answer • Students must make some decisions about how to approach a problem • Cognitive demands are more complex than in Level 1 • Comparing and interpreting trends or patterns, describing cause/effect; interpret point of view

  8. DOK Level 3Strategic Thinking: Complex Reasoning • Requires planning, thinking, explaining, justifying • Cognitive demands are complex and abstract • Develop a logical argument, justify “how” and “why” with evidence; draw conclusions from observations; make connections across time and place
