How do you incorporate Bloom's Taxonomy and Gardner's Multiple Intelligences in an English Grammar Lesson?

So basically in my English class we have to teacher the whole class grammar for 54 minutes. Our theme is Super Mario, and basically we have to integrate that in our lesson. Our main focus is the eight parts of speech, sentence parts, fragments, run-on sentences, sentence types, punctuation, capitalization, and citation rules. We also need to follow Bloom's Taxonomy guidelines, which is knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. To teach the grammar, we need use these educational objectives explain. So anyone have ideas of how to incorporate these concepts into a grammar lesson? Any and all ideas are appreciated!

disclaimer : i've never seen or played Super Mario; only info is from the web. just as Super Mario moves from one course to the other, so can you guide your grammar lesson through parts of speech Bloom's Taxonomy. each course of SM seems to involve a different intelligence, a different skill aptitude. and obviously, the difficulty level will rise as each course/level is completed. similar is the case with Bloom's hierarchical taxonomy. you can either incorporate sentences based on each level of play, or have a demo game on allow the class to come up with sentences describing their activity. then deconstruct each sentence into its parts of speech, etc. OR you can use the game to show how the different levels of educational objectives coincide/complement the diff courses their difficulty levels; to demonstrate what each course/level calls for. a bit too much to teach in such a short time ! you could also browse through the net for grammar activites based on MI. hope this gets you started all the very best
