• The C Layer is the basic layer of competency and reflects what all students
must do. If students successfully complete the tasks required in the C
Layer, they earn a C grade. These activities typically ask students to collect
factual information.
• The B Layer provides students with the opportunity to
apply, manipulate, and play with the information they gathered while
completing the C Layer activities. Students who successfully complete the
C and B Layers can earn a B grade.
• The A Layer asks students to think critically about an issue. It consists of
questions that ask students to analyze a topic. frequently, no right or
wrong answer exists. Students who successfully complete C, B, and A
Layers can earn an A grade.

• Describe it: Look at the subject closely (perhaps with your
physical senses as well as your mind).
• Compare it: What is it similar to? What is it different from?
• Associate it; What does it make you think of? What comes to
your mind when you think of it? Perhaps people? Places?
Things? Feelings? Let your mind go and see what feelings you
have for the subject.
• Analyze it: Tell how it is made. What are it is traits and
attributes?
• Apply it: Tell what you can do with it. How can it be used?
• Argue for or against: Take a stand. Use any kind of reasoning
you want-logical, silly, anywhere in between.
