Instructional Ideas

  • Hand out the vocabulary for the lesson and have individuals prepare examples of each form of intelligence for class the next day
  • After the lesson, create groups of scholars with similar intelligences and ask them to create presentations that illustrate their skills

Classroom Considerations

  • Each learner needs a copy of all handouts and scissors for cut-out work

Pros

  • Pupils love to learn about the different forms of intelligence and which ones they possess!
  • Great printables allow students to see the big picture of the lesson
  • The activities also work well as a standalone lesson

Cons

  • None
