Multiple Intelligences activity

You have got Mrs Wilson to thank for this homework (she showed me this website).

As discussed in class this homework has a number of aims behind it.

1) To make your geography book more distinguishable from the rest of your books - you will be better organised as a result.

2) To make your book stand out as yours (include a photograph of yourself on it).

3) To allow you time to consider your preferred learning style. Useful for all your subjects and other areas outside school.

Follow the instructions below:

1) Firstly read about multiple intelligences on the boffin squad website, it also explains what the quiz is about.

2) Now take the quiz (40 very quick questions, but take time to consider them), on this part of the 'boffin Squad' website - just follow the on-screen instructions.

3) When you have clicked ''finished (woohoo!)'', you will be shown a graph of your preferred intelligence. Follow the instructions to change the graph into rank order (click 'hot-to-cold').

4) Print this graph (click 'print' to open it in another window). It is a good idea to save you unique number as this will allow you to compare yourself to others. Does the description sound like you? Glue this graph to the front of your book.

5) Are you ''word smart, self smart, picture smart, body smart, people smart, logic smart, music smart or nature smart?'' Consider printing out the description of your preferred intelligence and sticking this to your exercise book - does it sound like you?

6) There are lots of other things you can do now, like looking at ''making the most of your preferred intelligence'' or ''finding out the jobs you might enjoy when you are older'' Just follow the links on the website.

We will discuss this in your next lesson.
