My definition of intelligence is having the ability to learn and to self assess.
Update:
1. Respond to definition from last class. Has
it changed at all? How might your definition impact your teaching? What I have
learned about the definition of intelligence is that there is no accurate
definition because it is such a complex term. There are several different types
of intelligences and as a teacher, I must find ways to appeal to every student,
regardless of their different types of intelligences.
2. List strategies for developing each aspect
of Emotional Intelligence that you can use in your content area.
a. Logical-mathematical: Incorporate critical
thinking exercises into lesson plans. This can include comparing and
contrasting characters from readings , etc.
b. Linguistic: Incorporate exercises in
reading, writing, speaking, and listening. This may include class and group
discussions, free writes, etc.
c. Musical: Incorporate sounds, rhythms,
music, and dance into lessons.
d. Spatial: Incorporate visuals, colors, art,
graphs or pictures into lessons. This could include highlighting graphs in
informational texts, or pictures that correlate to a novel.
e. Bodily-kinesthetic: Including movement,
exercise, drama and crafts into lessons. This could include stretch breaks,
acting out scenes from dramas that are being read, and various hands-on
projects.
f. Interpersonal: Incorporate group work, peer
sharing and discussions. This will be easy to accomplish in an English class.
This can include class and group discussions about a book, peer reviewing of
essays, and various other group activities.
g. Intrapersonal: Incorporating private
learning time and student choice. This may include journaling, free writes,
silent reading time, or simply pausing from time to time in order to allow
students to think more deeply about a topic.
h. Naturalist: Incorporate discussions
about nature into lessons.
