Having understood more about Bloom's taxonomy and DOK, I could relate them to one of my lessons and the goals I aimed with the theoretical bases of formulation objectives. Now, I am more informed about the process, and aware of the essential steps and factors in planning. Next, I will explain how I could relate this lesson to the theory.

Flipped learning
"Flipped learning is a compassionate teaching and learning methodology. Students are placed at the center of the learning process. Teachers are architects of meaningful and intentional learning experiences for both learning spaces in and out the classroom (Buitrago, C.R 2018)."
When I need to understand and define this method, many concepts come to mind, such as learner-centered class, communicative approach, agency and teaching practices that avoid the idea of setting a teacher as the only source of information and the only one who speaks in class. On the contrary, it intends to give students a protagonist role in the classroom and define the teacher as a facilitator and guide. The revolutionary method is still new and controversial in some Colombian contexts because it offers a different class framework where students get some independence at the beginning by getting familiar with the topic and relating their prior knowledge to the new ones. Therefore, this represents a whole mindset shift to transform the class into something meaningful and interactive.
One concept I really would like to explore is developing agency in students. This may be crucial in providing students with the chance to choose what they want to learn and guiding them in the process. Then teachers can empower students by connecting agency with the competences that must be developed in the curriculum because they will have the freedom to go beyond memorizing and repeating information, and they will have a constant monitor that helps them have a more structured framework in classes. I really found this topic fascinating. The fact that there are teachers who have been able to activate agency in scholar students is an inspiration for me. Here is a podcast of a teacher and her students in Australia who talk about how they can develop agency and at the same time accomplish the national curriculum and highlight the positive outcomes of agency.
"The outcomes are much better in that they are authentically learning things that are important to them that they know are going to guide or improve their future."
