Hello wizardsoulmile, I �ll have a go, but I don �t think there are any definitive answers to your questions.
1) Analysing. Classifying or putting items into categories, also comparison questions are very useful, particularly the classification. If you look at the Bloom �s chart, for analysis, putting things into their categories is one of the recommended activities.
2) Summarising (I �m not correcting your spelling, I �m English!), yes, I think completing a table with the key info is an excellent activity.
3) This sounds like a matching exercise. On the Bloom �s chart, this is a lower level skill, �understanding. � Match ups like this ensure comprehension and are useful for beginners, or introducing new vocabulary at whatever level.
Hope you get some more answers!
