When we began the school year in science, our class discussed the concept of "how we learn."
We realized that many of us learn differently, and in our lives we will all have to work cooperatively with people who think differently than we do. This doesn't make one of us smarter than the other, it simply means that everybody has different strengths, and we're all more successful when we help one another build and use our strengths.
Each student took a "multiple intelligences" quiz earlier in the year to help us determine what our strengths/preferences are in learning. This week we split up into 8 different groups based on those strengths and we brainstormed about how we like to learn (or don't like to learn!) as well as some jobs that people with our strengths might enjoy doing. Each group made a reference poster with that information to help others in the class understand their learning styles.
Hopefully this will help us work productively and positively together throughout the year. Check out each of our 8 intelligences posters below!
1. Kinaesthetic
2. Musical
3. Naturalistic
4. Logical
5. Linguistic
6. Visual/Spatial
7. Interpersonal (relating to others)
8. Intrapersonal (Knowing yourself)
