But how do we finish a lesson? “the homework is on page 5, thanks, see you on Wednesday”? Well, it’s possible and it happens all the time. Multiple Intelligences This lesson focuses on Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligences. Students determine how they are smart and then learn more about the learning styles and how they apply to children. To make it fun, I will have the students participate in 6 different activities each illustrating various learning styles.
