I thought it might be fun to have the class take the multiple intelligence test online prior to the presentation. (I will also have a printed copy to pass out- but the results are much quicker when done online)Please go to http://www.mitest.com/o7inte~1.htm and take the test. I have reviewed several online versions and this seems to be the most comprehensive free test available.
Also here is some vocabulary that will be critical to understanding the presentation fully:These definitions were taken from: http://school.discoveryeducation.com/lessonplans/programs/multipleintelligences/***Discovery learning was a great resource for my project-please check out Discovery Learning and see if it can help you with yours.
Intelligence Definition: The capacity to learn, reason, and understand and the demonstration of such capacity
Howard Gardner’s definitions of intelligence take specific abilities into account.
Interpersonal Definition: Existing or happening between persons; of or pertaining to a relationship between persons. Professions such as teaching, counseling, and sales attract people with strong interpersonal abilities
Kinesthetic Definition: Pertaining to the position and movement of the body through stimulation of the nerves in muscles, joints, and tendons
Teachers may use kinesthetic activities that allow students to manipulate materials. The picture above cleary illustrates my lack of Kinesthetic Intelligence
Spatial Definition: Of, relating to, or occurring in space
Tests asking students to imagine how a flat piece of cardboard would look folded into a box assess spatial relations abilities.
Talent Definition: A natural ability or aptitude Gardner asks whether Leonardo DaVinci’s painting ability is a talent or intelligence.
See you on Friday!
