Multiple Intelligences Teaching Strategies

Visual Discovery

Students view, touch, interpret, and bring to life compelling images as they discover key social studies concepts.

Social Studies Skill Builders

Students work in pairs or small groups on fast-paced, skill-oriented tasks such as mapping, graphing, identifying perspective, and interpreting primary sources.

Experiential Exercise

Through the use of movement and introspection, students capture a moment or feeling that is central to understanding a particular concept or historical event.

Writing for Understanding

Experiences become a springboard for writing, challenging students to clarify ideas, organize information, and express what they have learned.

Response Groups

Students work in small groups with thought-provoking resources to discuss critical thinking questions among themselves.

Problem Solving Groupwork

Students work in heterogeneous groups to create projects that require multiple abilities so that every student can contribute.
