Questions:

1.)   I think that the objective of this activity is to see if the students could retain the basic information they learned about bullfighting.

2.)   The level of Bloom’s taxonomy that the first five questions fall under is the cognitive domain, because the students are just being asked to answer factual questions. The last question is more opinion based, so it is considered affective domain because it involves feelings and attitude.

3.)   I would set aside time at the end of class to give this mini quiz, and the students will not be able to leave without having completed it.
