MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES PRESENTATIONS

Welcome back 😊

 

This will be an interesting entry because I will be explaining the group presentations about the Multiple Intelligences developed by Howard Gardner.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We started with the Visual-Spatial Intelligence and what we learned about this intelligence is that it deals with spatial judgment and the ability to visualize with the mind's eye. Creating mental images and thinking in pictures and three dimensions. Also, one interesting point about it is that people who have strong spatial intelligence are artistic.

Students with this intelligence may respond well to organizing vocabulary using mind-map or spidergram and also if a teacher is interested in developing this intelligence in their classes they use colors, pictures, diagrams, and realia.

Also, we learned how to develop this intelligence, there are daily activities that can be useful like organizing our room, and there is no age limit to develop this intelligence. Other activities that are useful are:  using spatial language in every interaction (teaching vocabulary related to figures), playing construction matching games (different colors, and shapes), playing games like Tetris or Minecraft, solving puzzles and mazes, and exploring photography.

Some of the benefits that we learned were:

Success in solving many tasks in everyday life.

The use of maps in unfamiliar cities

Merging into high-speed traffic

Orienting yourself in your environment

Some fields of application

Math, Natural Science

Engineering, economic forecasting

Meteorology, architecture

Professions

Graphic designer

Civil engineer

Surgeon

Tour guide, etc.

The activity that this group did was related to shapes with tangrams because tangrams are great for enhancing spatial reasoning, we participated in this activity but we did not win, let me post a picture of what we needed it to do, but our group did not have luck this time.

 

Here I share a picture of the group members:

 

I hope you enjoy reading about this Spatial Intelligence.

Then, we continue with "Logical-Mathematical Intelligence” my group was in charge to explain this intelligence, we begin with the definition, and we explain to our classmates that Logical-Mathematical is the ability to understand, manipulate, and apply logic, numbers, and reasoning to comprehend how something works.

We explain as well that children with logical-mathematical intelligence have several advantages, and some characteristics that we can identify are:

• They are excellent at analyzing numbers, patterns, and their connections.

• They have strong problem-solving abilities and learn best by reasoning and logical sequencing and analysis.

• They enjoy being well-organized as well as classifying and categorizing items.

• They enjoy working with abstract concepts and conducting scientific experiments.

• They enjoy using logic and facts to investigate problems, and they base their decisions on facts and common sense instead of emotions and personal feelings.

• They have good mathematical skills and can manipulate numbers easily.

Careers where intelligence is involved:

1. Accountant

2. Actuary

3. Mathematician

4. Auditors

These are some activities to implement logical-mathematical intelligence learning:

1. Logic puzzles

2. Mind games

3. Riddles

4. Board games

5. Solve tricky situations

6. Scientific experiments

7. Classify objects

8. Learn to code 

We did some activities to see if our classmates have a good memory or not, one was about to remember where the things were and then match them together the second was to locate words, it was very fun.

If you have questions about this intelligence, please let me know.

Here is a picture of my group:

Now, let's discuss what we learned about “Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence” it refers to a person's ability to process information physically through hand and body movement, control, and expression. It is also known as the physical learning style or tactile-kinesthetic learning style. People with bodily-kinesthetic intelligence may seek out touching and manipulating objects when learning about them.

 They enjoy creating work with their hands, may have a lot of energy and need to move, and may be talented athletes. Kinesthetic learning-styled people enjoy school activities such as drawing, modeling, sculpting, drafting, shopping, athletics, dance, and hands-on sciences. 

But how do they learn best?

People with bodily-kinesthetic learning styles learn best when they are permitted to use their tactile senses and fine and gross motor movement as part of the learning process. They often prefer direct involvement with the material they are learning rather than worksheets or reading from a book.

Kinesthetic learners do less well when tasks are focused only on reading or listening to lectures without being able to manipulate an object or move. In such cases, a teacher might offer a sports-related example so the student can at least connect the material to physical actions. 

Some activities that require physical movements:

Games, acting, dancing, painting, exercise

Sports, pantomime (fun to practice vocabulary and forming sentences)

This group created a fun activity, was about mimics, we were in groups of 4 one of the members was doing mimics, and the rest were guessing what the mimics were about. 

This is all the information about this intelligence, I will be posting a picture of the members

The third group explains "Linguistic intelligence", we learned that involves the ability to understand and use spoken and written language. This can include expressing yourself effectively through speech or the written word as well as showing a facility for learning foreign tongues.

Some characteristics:

Learn new languages easily.

Expansive vocabulary.

Accurately language to convey the meaning.

The facility in writing and speaking.

Love reading.

Understand and follow the rules of grammar.

 

William Shakespeare was one of the famous people with high linguistic intelligence.

The main benefit associated with linguistic intelligence is the ability to communicate with ease. Communication is the key when it comes to connecting with other people in your surroundings.

Activities to improve linguistic intelligence:

Reading books, newspapers, and magazines or listening to stories

The activity that this group created was a Kahoot game with different questions related to vocabulary. It was a nice presentation, here is a picture of the group members:

Musical Intelligence

About this intelligence, we learned that is the ability to express and transform musical forms through the voice or musical instruments

Ability to express emotions through music and enjoy it.

Special auditory sensitivity to capture and recognize sounds, rhythms, and melodies.

“Music is the color for the world and everything in it.”

Examples of games to stimulate this intelligence:

Words and memory

Drawing the music

Discovering the echo

What is music?

Rattle

People with strong Musical Intelligence are inclined to:

Easily learn songs or play musical instruments.

Have an excellent sense of rhythm.

Hear music in their heads throughout the day.

Identify the different instruments playing in a song.

Use intonation in their voices while speaking to others.

Be good at dancing.

The activity of this group was “guess the song” it was funny how the groups that participate were trying to guess the song they were playing.

Here is a picture of the group members:

This is the first round of presentation, on my next entry you will be able to find the next round, so stay tuned.
