Abstract

In September 1955, Edward J. Gordon presented in the English Journal, five useful "levels of teaching and testing" in English literature and thus helped to point the way toward a better rationale. His levels suggest a hierarchy of questions that place increasing demands on the student's talent for thinking in abstract terms.
