What is this??
What exactly is BT? Well, it's my abbreviated version of Bloom's Taxonomy, which is "a classification of levels of intellectual behavior important in learning", according to http://www.odu.edu/educ/roverbau/Bloom/blooms_taxonomy.htm, which is a pretty helpful site.
BT is used in our class to make presentations based on questions we create about our topics, in each level of thinking.
The original BT was created by a guy called Benjamin Bloom and some other people in 1956. It's still effective, but (not really) recently, another dude made a new version based on the old one. The new one you can see here, and that's the one I've used to make my questions.
The BT questions are another important part of my presentation here, so please read it (even though it might seem less interesting than the other pages, which mostly are information about events and characters in Greek Mythology.
On the picture here, Remembering is the lowest level and Creating is the highest. Which means that Remembering is the 'simplest' level of thinking (some examples are "When did this happen", "What is his/her name", etc.), and can usually be answered with a quick, simple, answer (eg. yes, no, etc.). Therefore Creating must be the most complex level, and usually require more research and thinking.

BT Contents
These are my questions for this presentation:
1. Remembering: List and tell some famous myths.
2. Understanding: Explain why the Greeks created Greek Mythology.
3. Applying: What would it be like if a lot of people still believed in Greek Mythology today?
4. Analyzing: Compare and contrast Greek Mythology with religious beliefs of other cultures.
5. Evaluating: Why is it important to study Greek Mythology?
6. Creating: If the gods really do exist, and they are still here today, what important new roles would each god have to take on? Will there be any need for new gods? What would their names be?

1. Remembering
(List and tell some famous myths)
This can be found in the Myths section. Most of the stuff there are just links that lead you to the myth, which will generally be filed under whichever character it involved. For example, the myth of Perseus and Medusa will be filed under Perseus and Medusa.
Think of it as a myth index.
