Above your picture, write your Multiple Intelligence level. If you have more than one MI from which to select, choose only one.]
II. Guided Practice • Draw 3 Circle Maps. • In the center circle of each map, write the following 3 ideas: 1. favorite place 2. most memorable moment 3. a wish you would like granted Once you have selected only one idea for each, circle that idea and write one reason why you chose each idea. C. Draw a Bubble Map with 4 attached bubbles. D. Write “words that best describe me” in the center bubble. E. Write 4 words that you think best describe you in the attached bubbles. Once you have selected only one word that best describes you, circle that word and write one reason why you chose this word.
Example Sentences: Putting Your Ideas Together 1. My favorite place is Gatlinburg, Tennessee because there are a great deal of activities to do and the weather is nice. 2. My most memorable moment was finishing my Master’s because it was very difficult to attend school while teaching. Therefore, I felt a sense of accomplishment. 3.
