About
This quiz focuses on Costa's Levels of Thinking, a cognitive framework that categorizes questions and thinking tasks into three hierarchical levels of complexity. Designed for middle and high school students in grades 7-10, this assessment teaches students to distinguish between Level 1 (gathering and recalling information), Level 2 (processing and making sense of information), and Level 3 (applying and evaluating information). Students must demonstrate their understanding of these cognitive levels by correctly categorizing various questions about the Cinderella story according to the type of thinking each question requires. The core concepts students need include recognizing factual recall questions, identifying analytical and comparative thinking tasks, and understanding creative and evaluative reasoning processes that require higher-order thinking skills. Created by Michelle Brown, an Education teacher in the US who teaches grades 7 and 10, this quiz serves as an essential tool for developing students' metacognitive awareness and critical thinking abilities. Teachers can effectively use this assessment as a warm-up activity to introduce Costa's framework, as guided practice during lessons on questioning techniques, or as formative assessment to gauge students' understanding of different cognitive levels. The quiz supports homework assignments that reinforce the distinction between surface-level and deep thinking, and it works exceptionally well for review sessions before students create their own leveled questions. This assessment aligns with Common Core Standards for English Language Arts, particularly CCRA.R.1-3 for reading comprehension levels and CCRA.SL.1-3 for speaking and listening standards that emphasize critical thinking and analysis across different cognitive demands.
