Critical thinking is an essential skill to build across the curriculum.

I religiously use displays such as these in my classroom, they enable students to use the critical thinking process more independently. What’s included? 7 x A4 Posters: Cover poster with the Bloom’s Taxonomy coloured pyramid stating each phase 6 x posters that match each tier of the pyramid in name and colour. Each has verb and sentence starter examples. Final note: Why Bloom’s Taxonomy? Bloom’s Taxonomy is a powerful tool that helps educators design learning experiences that challenge and engage students at every level. By providing a clear framework for categorizing cognitive skills, teachers can create lessons that move students beyond simple memorization towards higher-order thinking. From recalling facts to creating new ideas, Bloom’s Taxonomy ensures that students are equipped with the skills they need to succeed in school and beyond.
