If I did decide to explain the concept of multiple intelligences
to my students, I would want to provide examples to aid their
comprehension. In this chapter I found
multiple ways that you could present the information for the students to
research. I liked the strategy of having
the students do a project to research the biographies of famous people in their
intelligences and how they used their intelligences to change the world and
make a difference. One of my intelligences is naturalist, and I would LOVE to
do a project on Jane Goodall and learn about how she used her intelligences to
study the social and family behaviors in chimpanzees. I think it would also be
very interesting to find out how Martin Luther King Jr. used his interpersonal
skills to spark the civil rights movement. I would also like to decorate my
classroom for the unit with posters of the 8 intelligences, as suggested to be
paired with the biographies.
I
believe that all 8 intelligences could be used in my content area. I would like
to challenge my students to figure out how each of the intelligences would be an
important skill for a scientist to have, and maybe have them work in partners
to come up an answer to that question. Some
of the harder ones to relate to science would probably be verbal, musical, and
intrapersonal. Some examples for these are that verbal is important because of
science articles and readings, musical would be songs about science like in
Bill Nye the Science Guy, and Intrapersonal
is important so they reflect on their scientific process and
understanding.
