The Great Gatsby - Levels of Understanding

Instead of teaching your students how to answer questions about a particular text, help them develop the skills to critically evaluate literature without relying on outside guidance. Using Bloom's learning domains, Levels of Understanding breaks down complex questions into smaller parts and outline the steps necessary for students to develop a sound evaluation of a text. Students will begin with the most basic and fundamental skill, comprehension, move on to reader response, analysis, and synthesis, and gradually build to the highest skill, evaluation. Not only will these guides help you prepare your students for standardized tests like the AP* Language and Literature exam, the SATs,* and the ACTs, but they will also give students the self-assurance to develop and articulate a personal assessment of the text - a skill that will be advantageous in college and beyond.
