Answer to Question 1

Weaknesses include the following:
 She doesn't relate her introductory questions about air conditioning to the subsequent discussion of climate.
 She says that, Water makes things cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, but does not provide any explanation as to why this might be so; hence, she doesn't facilitate students' conceptual understanding of the phenomenon.
 The characteristics of the polar region are treated as separate entities that are simply listed on the board; there is no attempt to pull them together.
 She doesn't explain why someone living in Alaska might feel depressed, once again missing an opportunity to promote conceptual understanding.

Answer to Question 2

Ms. Marotta focuses largely on the first two levels, which are called knowledge and comprehension (in Bloom's original taxonomy) or remember and understand
