  1. MMADD about the Arts: Chapter 8 Introduction to the MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES

  2. Not: How SMART are you? BUT HOW are you smart? Every child is 100% Intelligent Multiple Intelligences

  3. How important are IQ tests?

  4. How important are IQ tests?

  5. 8 primary intelligences, An individual may excel in one, two or even three of these, but nobody is good at them all. The same rule applies to a child prodigy or mentally/physically disadvantaged person. Eg.A brain damaged child could have a severely impaired use of language, but be able to paint or play music magnificently. (http://www.multipleintelligencetheory.co.uk/)

  6. Linguistic Intelligence Logical - Mathematical Visual - Spatial Musical Bodily - Kinaesthetic Intrapersonal Interpersonal Naturalistic As we give an overview of each intelligence, think about yourself, your family and friends and try to work out which is their strongest intelligences Multiple Intelligences

  7. Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence: The ability to use language to excite, please, convince, stimulate or convey information Those with this intelligence are people who: Love stories, jokes and riddles Enjoy word games Spend time reading Can spell easily Enjoy crosswords Can read and write well Multiple Intelligences

  9. Collage: Mathematical knowledge to create symmetrical images using two contrasted coloured papers. Kite making: Learning about Science, Art, Maths, History, Geography, different countries and cultures; Part of a topic on flight, wind, air, symmetry etc. Involves working together using different materials, using manual and artistic skills. 9

  10. Bodily - Kinaesthetic Intelligence The ability to use fine and gross motor skills in sports, the performing arts or arts and crafts production Those with this intelligence are people who: Like dancing / like athletics Use body language to send messages Like to be active Like to touch Enjoy acting and role playing Like fixing things Multiple Intelligences

  11. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence The ability to explore patterns, categories and relationships by manipulating objects or symbols and to experiment in a controlled, orderly way. Those with this intelligence are people who: Enjoy patterns and collections of things Love brain teasers and computer games Play with and think about numbers Solve problems with maths Devise experiments to test out things Multiple Intelligences

  12. Multiple Intelligences Making instruments and writing the recipe down logically Reading, writing and playing graphic scores and notations

  13. Interpersonal Intelligence The ability to understand and get along with others Those with this intelligence are people who: Make friends easily Like to be with other people Love cooperative games Enjoy group problem solving Feel a lot for others Multiple Intelligences

  14. Multiple Intelligences • Working together to: • Write and play music; • Dramatise a book they have read; • Create a collage for Science, • Create a dance to explore emotions

  15. Intrapersonal Intelligence The ability to gain access to and understand one’s inner feelings, dreams and ideas. Those with this intelligence are people who: Enjoy their own company Like imagining things Have a strong opinion or feeling about things Keep a diary Like hobbies Motivate themselves to do projects Multiple Intelligences

  17. Naturalistic Intelligence The ability to use the natural world as a means to view the rest of the world and to help them organise their own world Those with this intelligence are people who: Are observant Enjoy identifying and classifying Prefer to work outdoors Enjoy categorising to find connections Enjoy recognising and devising patterns in their work Multiple Intelligences

  20. Revising the 7 Multiple Intelligences (before Naturalistic was added!) using Musical Intelligence To the tune Botany Bay: Let’s look at the seven intelligences, There’s Logic and Maths, think it through, There’s Linguistic, with books and with poetry, And Musical intelligence, too. There’s Spatial with maps, charts and pictures, There’s Bodily / Kinaesthetic, let’s move! There’s Inter-personal, with you and me, And Intra-personalwith just me! Multiple Intelligences

  21. How are YOU smart? Check your own Intelligences Profile Use other web-based MI tests http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks3/ict/multiple_int/questions/choose_lang.cfm http://www.businessballs.com/howardgardnermultipleintelligences.htm#multiple%20intelligences%20tests Also have your pupils use them so they can take ownership of their own learning Multiple Intelligences

  22. Teachers tend to teach using their own preferred intelligences Be aware of this Plan to include ALL intelligencesin children’s learning experiences Use the creative arts to cover the multiple intelligences

  23. Through involvement in all the art forms:Music Dance Drama Visual Arts children can learn using their preferred intelligences.

  24. If a child is not learning the way you are teaching, then you must teach in the way the child learns. How can YOU use the Multiple Intelligences in the classroom to enhance learning for ALL children?

  25. Take a children’s book/ story Work out how to include all 8 intelligences so all children can learn THEIR way In so doing, all Creative Arts should be covered and integrated

  26. YOU are 100% INTELLIGENT! Celebrate your individuality!
