Standards
Utilizing Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, how could you differentiate activities in a classroom in which you were trying to teach the topic of the life cycle of a butterfly? Describe at least four different activities that would stimulate specific intelligences for the topic of photosynthesis.
Bodily- kinesthetic activity: Act out the stages/ life cycle
interpersonal: learn by interacting with others and completing a discussion or project on the lifecycle
intrapersonal: Do their own research independently on the life cycle (independent learner)
Verbal-linguistic: learn through writing, reading and listening about the life cycle (audio book about the lifecycle)
logical- mathematical: learn through experiments, asking questions, looking for patterns (watch/ experiment the butterfly go through each stage in the classroom)
naturalist: Go outside and make observation on a caterpillar who goes through each stage, go visit a butterfly museum (hands on, go on field trips)
visual spatial: draw diagrams of the life cycle or looks at diagrams or pictures
musical: create and sing a song to remember the stages of the life cycle of a butterfly
What is a learning center?
Areas are set up in the classroom with learning activities directed at a specific concept are often defined as learning centers. Learning centers can be set up to reinforce skills previously learned, or to help students internalize new concepts.
Why are standards important?
Standards serve as a guide for teachers to know what the students should learn at each grade level. It helps to determine when a student is on-level, below level, or above. It also makes education more cohesive and sets the standard for students.
