Talking about Bloom’s Taxonomy, and all the other different concepts of teaching, I have realized that the main thing is to help your own way of learning first, in order to help your students’.
As we all know by now Bloom’s Taxonomy is divided into three different “domains” which are: Cognitive, Affective & Psychomotor[1]. And the main goal is to create an alternative from of education more emphasized on importance of the “whole” instead of each of the parts that compose it.
The Activity:
Remembering:
Students will brainstorm any musical instruments the can remember
Understanding:
Students will classify the instruments recalled onto different categories (brass, percussion, etc.)
Applying:
Ask the students which ones of the instruments do they think are the most common in the world and why
Analyzing:
Ask the students which instruments they would use in a group or band and why
Evaluating:
Let the students debate about their favorite music gender and why it’s better than other gender.
Creating:
Each student recommend a band/gender and explain how it could be related to other genders
Thanks for reading.

Marcel, very good breakdown of the 6 levels of cognitive domain. Knowing how you like to incorporate technology in the classroom, you might even include in the applying level: students will download a video from youtube and describe which instruments were played in the piece chosen and guess why. Just a thought. Ellen
