The activities that were determined as the criteria for analysis were: Wh-questions, true/false question, yes/no question, multiple choice question, complete the sentence phrase, a chart, matching questions, statement question, and a key word request question. The activities were gathered, listed and analyzed according to New Bloom’s Taxonomy, for lower levels of cognitive domain: remembering, understanding, and applying, and higher level of thinking skills: analyzing, evaluating, and creating.
