BLOOM BALL INDEPENDENT READING PROJECT

For your second marking period independent reading project, you will be creating a Bloom Ball. The reason it is called a Bloom Ball is because the activities you will be doing are based upon the different levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy.

You will be need to choose 12 panels to complete for your Bloom Ball. Once you have completed all of your panels, we will construct the balls in school.
