Chapter three of Cantu's book is focused on lesson planning for social studies educators. It's focus was centered around objectives and using blooms taxonomy to create those objectives. Bloom's not only identify academic levels in school but it allows the educator to distinguish between content areas. My personal favorite aspect of Bloom's Taxonomy is that the key words are a tool you can use to create your lesson plans. With a word like "analyze" you can pick different assessment tools such as research essays or oral presentations, or with compare and contrast you can assign short summaries of the two topics. Objective writing looks closely academic language and is important to use it correctly within the objective.
Big Question: How can educators find ways to make lesson plans unique to their teaching style and to promote creativity?
