Higher Order Thinking Questions:
1. Compare the number of newspapers in colonial times in each state.
2. Compare the number of newspapers in 1880 in TX with the number of today. 3. Consider why newspapers would be more important in colonial days than today. 4. Analyze popular topics in newspapers during the colonial time period. 5. Design your own page front page of a newspaper that might appear in the colonial days. Database Rubric

Higher Order Thinking Questions: by Jamie Speer
Knowledge (repeats information verbatim)- students learn scientific
name of green iguana is Iguana iguana, are able to recite this when asked
Comprehension ( restates in own words)- teacher asks one student to
describe class reptilia to team member, student says "iguanas are in the reptile class"
Application (understands connections)- students are able to
understand that a snake is related to an iguana because they are both under class reptilia and cold blooded, using common knowledge.
Analysis- (understanding organizational relationships)- Student can
understand that a "phylum " is smaller than a "kingdom" by evaluating database organisational hierarchy.
Synthesis- (combining information to form a unique product)- students
are able to write a response to the question "how would you categorize a bearded dragon" using the database and previous questions as a reference (they understand that a snake, iguana, and bearded dragon are all reptiles).
Evaluation (explain)- Compare and contrast how a human is related to
a reptile, forces learner to understand that they both a vertebrates, however, forces higher thinking to understand humans are mammals and vary somewhat from reptiles.

Content Structure 10 Fields distinct, not redundant. Consistent hyperlinked content
Completeness 8 Good variety of fields, however, not
all subjects are represented or developed as extensively as others
Accuracy 9 Data seems accurate, most information
needed is present. However, accuracy is based on the creator- margin for human error
Instances 9/? Records seem complete, plenty of
examples included. However, databases are limited by its creator- not all records and examples could possibly be included Questions 10 Includes a “Questions Archive” – Higher order questions created by educators for educators
