Transcript Child*s World-Intelligences

Where did Mrs. DeWhitt go?
Tuesday I was at Jackson Elementary School and today I am at Lincoln
Street Elementary. This is part of my internship to become an
administrator.
I will be here Monday and Wednesday of next week-don’t forget that
we have preschool on Wednesday!
Please take this opportunity to practice your leadership skills-in no way
should the success or failure of this class depend on the substitute. In
this class, we are all leaders and we must exercise that leadership now!
Do you want to have fun? Make the following activities fun-they really
are!
Child’s World-Intelligences
Today’s Classroom Leaders are:
Period 1: Shalyn, Wendy, and Madeline
Period 2: Megan, Sarah, and Michelle
These students will be leading the class and will be making sure we are
all working together to meet our goals. Please remember that this class
is learning about how to be leaders and teachers. You should support
the leader and make sure that you are fully involved in the class.
During our last class, the games were listed and the reason I heard for
not playing them was, “The substitute didn’t make us.” Please turn this
around and be the leaders in the classroom. YOU make sure things get
done 
Job #1 Play Games
Leaders for the day will videotape the games and everyone playing with the ipad-have fun, but take your jobs
seriously as the class.
If it’s raining and your game needs to be played outside, play under the covered walkway to the cafeteria.

Instructions for the next activity
1. Everyone must tape a “human intelligence hunt” paper into their
journals.
2. The class leaders will say “Go” before anyone starts on the “hunt”
3. You must look for people who can do an item on the list and be
willing to sign it. If they sign it, they MUST be willing to
demonstrate for the class.
4. No one can sign the paper more than once.
5. You may not sign your own paper.
6. You may have four minutes to try to get all of the activities signed.
7. EVERYONE MUST PARTICIPATE!
:
Human Intelligence Hunt
Find someone who can
Name
What to find
Hum something by Mozart (music smart)
Do a simple dance step (body smart)
Recite four lines from a poem (word smart)
Explain why the sky is blue (logic smart)
Briefly share a recent dream (self smart)
Draw a picture of a horse (spatial/picture smart)
Honestly say he/she is relaxed and comfortable relating to other people
during this exercise (people smart)
Name five different types of birds (or trees) that are found in the
immediate area (Nature smart)
Classroom Leaders-you’re up again!
Randomly call on 8 different students to tell us who signed one of the
eight statements in the “hunt.”
Whoever signed their paper for that item, must get up and
demonstrate their talent.
If this isn’t fun-you’re doing it wrong!
Write and finish the following sentences in your
journals (10 min.-please give these some serious
thought!)
What type of learner are you?
Many times our own childhood plays a role in the way we teach. We need an
awareness of our own learning styles to learn more about ourselves as teachers.
• When I was a child, my favorite activities and hobbies outside of school were:
• My favorite teacher was….because….
• As a child, I always felt I was intelligent in the following ways:
• As a child, I didn’t feel intelligent in the following areas:
• School would have been better for me if…:
Class Leaders, if time remains, have eight people who haven’t been in front of the class
read one of these intelligences out loud (Make sure the whole class can hear!). Class, each
one of you should try to decide which intelligences you possess. While the reading is going
on, write your thoughts on each intelligence in your journal. We will take a fun test on
Monday to determine what our real intelligences are.
Logical-mathematical
• This area has to do with logic, abstractions, reasoning and numbers. While it is
often assumed that those with this intelligence naturally excel in mathematics,
chess, computer programming and other logical or numerical activities, a more
accurate definition places less emphasis on traditional mathematical ability and
more on reasoning capabilities, recognizing abstract patterns, scientific thinking
and investigation and the ability to perform complex calculations.
Spatial
• This area deals with spatial judgment and the ability to visualize with the mind's
eye. Careers which suit those with this type of intelligence include artists,
designers and architects. A spatial person is also good with puzzles.[citation needed].
Linguistic
• This area has to do with words, spoken or written. People with high verbal-linguistic intelligence display a facility with words
and languages. They are typically good at reading, writing, telling stories and memorizing words along with dates. They tend
to learn best by reading, taking notes, listening to lectures, and by discussing and debating about what they have
learned.[citation needed] Those with verbal-linguistic intelligence learn foreign languages very easily as they have high verbal
memory and recall, and an ability to understand and manipulate syntax and structure.[
Bodily-kinesthetic
• The core elements of the bodily-kinesthetic intelligence are control of one's bodily motions and the capacity to handle
objects skillfully (206). Gardner elaborates to say that this intelligence also includes a sense of timing, a clear sense of the
goal of a physical action, along with the ability to train responses so they become like reflexes.
• In theory, people who have bodily-kinesthetic intelligence should learn better by involving muscular movement (e.g. getting
up and moving around into the learning experience), and are generally good at physical activities such as sports or dance.
They may enjoy acting or performing, and in general they are good at building and making things. They often learn best by
doing something physically, rather than by reading or hearing about it. Those with strong bodily-kinesthetic intelligence
seem to use what might be termed muscle memory – they remember things through their body such as verbal memory.
• Careers that suit those with this intelligence include: athletes, pilots, dancers, musicians, actors, surgeons, doctors, builders,
police officers, and soldiers. Although these careers can be duplicated through virtual simulation, they will not produce the
actual physical learning that is needed in this intelligence.[8]
Musical
• This area has to do with sensitivity to sounds, rhythms, tones, and music. People with a high musical intelligence normally have good
pitch and may even have absolute pitch, and are able to sing, play musical instruments, and compose music. Since there is a strong
auditory component to this intelligence, those who are strongest in it may learn best via lecture. Language skills are typically highly
developed in those whose base intelligence is musical. In addition, they will sometimes use songs or rhythms to learn. They have
sensitivity to rhythm, pitch, meter, tone, melody or timbre.
• Careers that suit those with this intelligence include instrumentalists, singers, conductors, disc-jockeys, orators, writers and composers.
Interpersonal
• This area has to do with interaction with others. In theory, people who have a high interpersonal intelligence tend to be extroverts,
characterized by their sensitivity to others' moods, feelings, temperaments and motivations, and their ability to cooperate in order to
work as part of a group. They communicate effectively and empathize easily with others, and may be either leaders or followers. They
typically learn best by working with others and often enjoy discussion and debate.
• Careers that suit those with this intelligence include sales, politicians, managers, teachers and social workers.[9]
Intrapersonal
• This area has to do with introspective and self-reflective capacities. People with intrapersonal intelligence are intuitive and typically
introverted.[citation needed] They are skillful at deciphering their own feelings and motivations.[citation needed] This refers to having a deep
understanding of the self; what your strengths/ weaknesses are, what makes you unique, being able to predict your own
reactions/emotions. Careers which suit those with this intelligence include philosophers, psychologists, theologians, lawyers, and
writers.[citation needed] People with intrapersonal intelligence also prefer to work alone.[citation needed]
Naturalistic
• This area has to do with nurturing and relating information to one’s natural surroundings. Examples include classifying natural forms
such as animal and plant species and rocks and mountain types; and the applied knowledge of nature in farming, mining, etc. Careers
which suit those with this intelligence include naturalists, farmers and gardeners
