Homework for Thursday, 1/21


As promised, here is your homework for Thursday.

BEFORE YOU GO FURTHER:

I forgot to ask for volunteers to lead the discussion for Thursday's class.  If a few of you will step forward by emailing me at bencapozzi@mac.com, that will be much appreciated.  Again, everyone will have to lead discussions at least once, and probably 3-4 times during the semester, so best to get started early, I say.

OK, CONTINUING:

1) First, take this quiz and keep track of your results.  If you like, you can post them in the comments section below.



2) Please watch the following short video (I know how you hate podcasts!) from a 1997 interview with Howard Gardner, the father of Multiple Intelligence Theory.




3) Read this article catching up with Gardner years later:

4) Read this article on how some famous thinkers define their intelligence:

Come to class prepared to discuss and PLEASE, can I get some volunteers?

Best

  4. Intrapersonal and Verbal-Linguistic were my top two with nearly identical percentages, while Visual-Spatial was my lowest! My art creds are suspect!
