This document outlines Bloom's Taxonomy, a hierarchy of six levels of thinking skills: (1) Knowledge, (2) Comprehension, (3) Application, (4) Analysis, (5) Synthesis, and (6) Evaluation. It describes the key thinking processes at each level, from basic recall of facts to more advanced skills like creating new ideas and making judgments. Sample verbs are provided to illustrate the types of thinking required at each level, from "define" and "list" at the lowest levels to "decide", "judge", and "assess" at the highest levels. The taxonomy can be used to classify learning objectives and assess the depth of student understanding.
