Problem: You have been introduced to Bloom's taxonomy early on in your studies in education. However, Bloom is not the only taxonomy that can be implemented in the classroom, Barrett's taxonomy is also very effective. Develop a report in which you compare the two taxonomies and with specific focus on the categorisation of the cognitive abilities of reading and comprehending. Also, include how Barrett's Taxonomy can assist with improving learner's marks.
For this activity you will compare Barrett and Bloom's taxonomy and present a written report in which you compare Barrett's and Bloom's taxonomy's in relation to the Grade 7 FAL Northern
Sotho class and provide an argument on which should be used within the class.
