Enhance Students Thinking Skills With Writing Activity.

From Bloom’s Taxonomy (Higher Order Thinking Skills) and Kemahiran Bersepadu Sekolah Menengah (KBSM) to an activity.

For this task, I choose an Analysis cognitive level in creating a simple activity. So, the activity would be:
                                                                                                                                                                                                   The teacher will give the students an essay on the effects of smoking. Then, the students read the essay paragraph by paragraph. After that, the teachers ask the students to identify the thesis statement from each paragraph. Simple right?. To make an activity, you should remember the keyword of Analysis cognitive level. 
Theme : Health                                                                                                   

The key words are :
analyze, appraise, breakdown, calculate, categorize, classify, compare, contrast, criticize, derive, diagram, differentiate, discriminate, distinguish, examine, experiment, identify, illustrate, infer, interpret, model, outline, point out, question, relate, select, separate, subdivide, test.
