Design two activities to develop any of the seven multiple

intelligences. Include as many intelligences as you can in your

activities. Include number of students and main aim

ACTIVITY 1:

MY FACE AND ME: THE WAY I AM

Main aims:

- To develop linguistic intelligence by choosing adjectives to

describe oneself and by presenting the classmates what they

consider to be their best characteristics

- To develop visual intelligence by relating a facial expression

and an adjective and by enabling students to express their mod

in a picture

- To develop intrapersonal intelligence by choosing positive

adjectives to describe oneself

Number of students: from 20 to 25 students in 6Th grade. Estructure:

1-2-4-group (first, the student work individually; second, they work in

pairs; third, in small groups and finally the whole class)

Procedure: (pictures from 1000+ pictures for teachers to copy, by

Andrew Wright)

-Explain the students they are going to talk about themselves by

using some positive adjectives which define themselves. Only positive

adjectives. They will have to pick up 3 or 4 words (from the teacher’s

selection) and draw a face that represents that characteristic.

-Scan some pictures to show the students how to draw faces and let

them practice, for example the following ones:


-Show the students how to express some adjectives they can use to

talk about themselves, for example


among others.

Or, the teacher can pre-teach new vocabulary and synonyms and

after that, ask the student to match the expression and the adjective.

-Ask the students to pick up 3 or 4 adjectives and draw the matching

facial expression.

- Once they all finish drawing, ask the students to show his/her

classmate (the one on his/her left) his/her choice of words and then,

make groups of 4 people. Each one in the group have to explain the

rest of the group his/her choice. Let the students to comment (in

small groups) whether they agree or not with their mates selection.

-All students take turns to explain the whole class the words they

have chosen and why.

-Teacher can scaffold the last stage by using prompts, as in:

“I think I am ______________ because I always ______________”

-Elicit and accept all logical explanations, later, once they have

finished talking, the teacher can review grammar structures and

common mistakes

ACTIVITY 2


MOVING AROUND OUR DREAM TOWN

Main aims:

- To develop linguistic intelligence by learning vocabulary about

facilities in town and how to give directions

- To develop visual-spatial intelligence by locating facilities in a

map and by relating drawings and vocabulary

Number of students: up to 20. Structure: 2-4-group

Procedure:

-Explain the group they are going to design an ideal town. Photocopy

a map like this one and hand it out to the students (or use tablets, or

Interactive Whiteborads)


-Revisit previous vocabulary using different settings or flashcards like

these ones:


-Pre-teach new vocabulary to talk about places in town and to give

directions

-Ask the students to decide where the school, hospital and the other

facilities should be. They choose how many facilities their town should

have.

-Ask the students to locate the facilities in the map.


-Students take turns to ask each other where a place is and to give

directions.

-Use prompts:

“Excuse, how do I get to the ….”

“Go straight ahead, at the end of the street, turn right….”
