Salam Madam
Thanks a lot
I am so happy that your course well achieved , because it was well conducted which made your learners well react and perform the three IIP .
concerning today's question ( great question I really love such questions)
How to apply Bloom's taxonomy in a grammar lesson?
Well to achieve this we need to apply the PIASP teaching method.
so the P= Presentation<Presenting the context in which the structure appears> ( for example using the script page 170 -where the time conjunctions- where they are written in bold ( I wish all the scripts were elaborated like that this will facilitate the teachers' work to apply PIASP )
so you ask your learners to read the script in order to make them notice the words written in bold ( so here your learners will deal with the first Bloom's taxonomy category (knowledge = defines, describes, identifies, knows, labels, lists, matches, names, outlines, recalls, recognizes, reproduces, selects, states.) where they will define and identify the conjunctions since they have seen some of them before .the Aim here is to make the learners see the structure ( form & meaning ) in context.
2- Isolation : the focus is temporarily on the grammatical item itself and the aim is :to get the learner perceive & recognize the grammatical item what it looks like and this goes also with the second category of Bloom's taxonomy ( comprehension where your learners will be able to infer, interpret, paraphrase, predict, rewrite, summarize,.
3- Analysis: Here you will try to make ur learners analyze the isolated items the aim is : to get your learners perceive how it is formed ( structure), how it functions and what it means and the rule that govern it.This has a great link with the fourth category Analysis" ( Blomm's Taxonomy) where your learners will be able to nalyzes, breaks down, compares, contrasts, diagrams, deconstructs, differentiates, discriminates, distinguishes, identifies, illustrates, infers, outlines, relates, selects, separates.
4- Stating Rule : Here after they analyze you help them to formulate the grammar rule .And this what Bloom called "Synthesis" where the learners are able to Build a structure or pattern from diverse elements. Put parts together to form a whole, with emphasis on creating a new meaning or structure through the following key words "reconstruct, relate, reorganize, revise, rewrite, summarize, tell, write.
5- Practice : This is achieved through three (3) type of tasks
a- Based form task : Mechanical manipulation < focus only on the form >
b- Meaning based task : Focus is on meaning
c- Communicative based task : ( emphasis is on ******* )
So this last stage has a great link with what Bloom named Application: Use a concept in a new situation or unprompted use of an abstraction. Applies what was learned in the classroom into novel situations in the work place.


So as you notice Madam the PIASP is the ideal way to teach grammar item according to Bloom's Taxonomy . I hope this brief explanation is of some benefit for further inquiries you are welcome
Good luck
