Multiple+Intelligences

We are all smart in different ways. Let's find out more about the different ways you can be smart.


 * 1) **What is intelligence?:** Turn to a neighbor and talk about what you think intelligence is. When you agree on a definition, go to Google. In the search box, type definition:intelligence (NO SPACES!!!). Close the window after you read the definition: Google
 * 2) **Predict which Multiple Intelligence best fits the way you learn:** Click this link and read the page there. Try to decide which of the Multiple Intelligences best matches the way **you** learn. When you finish, close the window: What are Multiple Intelligences?
 * 3) **Tell me which one you think fits you best:** Go to the Discussion Board (looks like a thumb tack on the top right). Choose the Discussion Board that matches the Multiple Intelligence you thought fit you the best and follow the directions there.
 * 4) **Find out which Multiple Intelligence(s) fit they way you learn the best:** Click this link and take the Multiple Intelligences Test. Read the directions at the top of each page. Use "Next" to go to the next page. **Print** your results when you finish, put your name and class **at the top of** your paper and turn it in. When you finish, close the window: Multiple Intelligence Test
 * 5) **Was your prediction right?:** Look at your MI chart. Which bar on the chart is closest to the outer ring? Go to the Discussion Board again. Choose either "Just What I Thought" or "Not Even Close" and follow the directions there.
 * 6) **Rank your MI strengths:** Number your MI's from largest bar to smallest bar. If two are **exactly** the same, decide which one you feel in stronger in your learning style. Make a numbered list on the bottom of your chart. Number 1 is the largest bar. Number 8 is the smallest bar.
 * 7) **Who else shares your strongest Multiple Intelligence?:** Find others in your class that had the same MI bar closest to the outer ring. Return to the Discussion Board. **As a group:**
 * 8) Ask yourselves: What similarities do you all share in the way you learn?
 * 9) Go to the board for the MI that you had the bar closest to the outer ring.
 * 10) Post:
 * 11) Your first names & last initials (NO whole names...you're on the internet!)
