With my graph for Benjamin Bloom's Taxonomy I went by what I can remember of school. I know that I was given tests in each class that tested what I had learned, which means I had to go off of what I remembered. I would say that after remembering my teachers focused on, or at least attempted to briefly focus on, whether or not we understood the lessons they were teaching. I really don't think that teachers worried about how we could apply what was being taught. It seemed as though my teachers, specifically in high school, seemed as though they taught what they had to teach and didn't really worry about what we ended up doing with the curriculum in our futures. I put the analyzing percentage up a bit higher because in a few of my classes we were called on to read our peer's works and analyze what they were saying. Evaluating and creating were down lower because in one or two of my classes I had to evaluate work and in specific classes, like Art or Photography, I created things. Obviously the chart is weighted more towards the first three sections though. In my opinion, teachers need to begin evaluating themselves and need to figure out how exactly to push students to perform in the top three levels.
