Critical thinking is an essential skill to build across the curriculum. Students often need reference points to progress through the critical thinking process - such as when using Bloom’s Taxonomy as a framework.
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.

Are you looking for a workbook that supports students to both learn about the passive voice and apply it in various sentences? This workbook does just that!
What’s included in the 40-page workbook?
• General information page – when to use the passive voice
• Instruction page – how to form the passive voice
• Passive voice sentence mat + negative version
• Three-page worksheets for EACH of the following passive sentence types:

Future perfect passive
• 9 pages of answers (one for each section of the workbook)
Teaching note: each worksheet for the individual passive voice tense has four scaffolded parts.
Part 1: writing basic passive sentence from an active sentence (doesn’t need the use of ‘by’)
Part 2: filling in the gaps using the tense + past participle (most of them are irregular past participles)
Part 3: writing more developed passive sentences from active sentences (use of irregular past participles + using ‘by’ on more occasions)
Part 4: changing passive sentences back to active sentences
Teaching note: this resource should be used with students who have been working with forming the past participle or are using verb tense mats to support learning. The workbook begins with more basic tenses and builds up to the more difficult ones.
You could use this booklet at intervals across the year, or even for revision before key grammar-based exams.
