  1. Project Criss:Questions and Higher Levels of Thinking Strategy Online Course Presented by Char Zarnik Area 3 Lead Teacher Cobb County Schools

  2. A Modified Version of Bloom’s Taxonomy • Instead of the eight levels of thinking introduced by Bloom, Project CRISS has created a modified version to include only five levels. • 1. Recall • 2. Analysis • 3. Comparison • 4. Inference • 5. Evaluation

  3. Recall: To recognize or remember key facts, definitions, rules, and principals. • These questions require one to retell or repeat information. • These are Right There questions. • Analysis: To divide a whole into smaller parts. • Examples include separating main ideas and details or organizing information into clusters and frames. • These are Think and Search questions. • Comparison: To explain similarities and differences between two or more things.

  4. Inference: To predict using deductive and inductive reasoning. • Deductive tasks require a general statement with details related to it. • An example includes main ideas needing supporting details. • Inductive tasks requires one to generate a main idea from the details. • An example includes using evidence or details to come up with a generalization. • These are Author and You questions. • Evaluation: To arrive at a conclusion and then provide supporting reasons and evidence. • These are Author and You questions.

  5. Using the Project CRISS information introduced and the template, Question Starters & Frames for Higher-Level Questions, create your own ‘modified questions’ based on the Popcorn passage. • Right There … • Think and Search … • Author and You… • Create one of each type of question using the template as a guide. Post your five questions to the Discussion Forum as well as the Assignment drop box by Wednesday. By Sunday, read one other participant’s questions and add your comments or suggestions.

  6. Popcorn • Have you ever wondered why popcorn pops? Popping corn has more moisture inside each kernel than regular corn. As the kernel is heated, the water inside turns into steam. Pressure begins to build inside until the hard coat on the outside explodes, turning inside-out. If you are careful about how you prepare it, popcorn turns out to be a very healthy snack-higher in protein than ice cream or potato chips, without the fat and sugar. Air-popping is the best way to prepare popcorn because it doesn’t require oil; this keeps the popcorn low in calories. To add a little zest to your snack, forget the butter or caramel flavors. Instead, try melting a few tablespoons of peanut butter and stirring that into your popped corn or add sunflower, pumpkin, or sesame seeds.
