Bloom's Taxonomy
Bloom's Taxonomy is
a classification of learning objectives within education proposed in 1956 by a committee of
educators chaired by Benjamin Bloom who
also edited the first volume of the standard text, Taxonomy of educational
objectives: the classification of educational goals (referred to as
simply "the Handbook" below). Although named after Bloom, the
publication followed a series of conferences from 1949 to 1953, which were
designed to improve communication between educators on the design of curricula
and examinations. (Read more)

Explanatory in a Nut Shell
Explanation belongs to factual genres together with some other genres or text types. They are procedure, report, exposition, discussion, description, review, news item, and review.
An explanation text is used to explain a process such as how something works. It may explain a series of steps involved in why something happens and what happens. This text genre explains exactly how stuff works or why something is the way it is. This is sometimes called ‘cause’ and ‘effect’. An example may also include using a picture or a flow chart.
The purpose of an explanation text is to explain the processes involved in natural and social phenomena, or to explain how something works. Below are some examples of explanation text titles.
How a kite flies,
How chocolate is made,How a cell phone works,
Why daylight in summer is longer than in winter,

Second time
This is the second time I visit my own blog. The truth is I forgot that I've had this blog. I'm no longer the head of KIR (Kelompok Ilmiah Remaja) at my school but I still need this blog to comply to my assignment at campus. This month is the beginning of my third semester in UNINDRA with English education as my major. According to my sister, in this semester a lecturer will ask us to have a blog and that's why I'm here now. I still need to learn a lot about making and maintaining and editing this blog. Wish me luck!
