The
steps you should follow to complete the task...
Read through the steps and familiarize yourself with the evaluation section before starting
1. Discover your
own multiple intelligences by taking at least one long test or two short tests
from a choice of the following online tests. Some of these tests need to be
done online, others require you to print copies of the test and plot your own
results. If you don't understand the English for some of the questions, feel free to ask for help on the English language questions forum.Print a copy of your test results for all the tests you take and note
the URLs.
Once you have your test results, make a list of which intelligences received highest marks and which received lowest marks. For example, I received high marks on musical, linguistic, and intrapersonal; medium marks on logical/mathematical and bodily/kinesthetic; and low marks on visual/spatial and interpersonal. In addition to listing your intelligences from high marks to low marks, write down whether you agree or disagree with the results of the test(s). I know I think that my logical/mathematical intelligence should be higher than my musical intelligence even though the test graded musical higher. Finally, share your list and whether you agree or disagree on the ESLgo English learning forum.Short

2. Read
one of the following summaries of multiple intelligences. Your aim here is to
gain an understanding, in outline, of the eight multiple intelligences. You can discuss the various intelligences on the ESLgo English learning forum.

3. Discover more about your strongest intelligence using links from the sites above and your own web searches. Your aim here is to gain a thorough understanding of your own learning strengths and to critically evaluate the material you read in the light of your own learning experiences. Consider what medium you will use to report to your lecturer, there is no restriction on the choice or combinations of media and you are encouraged to use media that suit your own intelligence preferences.
4. Look at your test results
again and choose another multiple intelligence to learn more about. Note the
reasons for your choice. Your aim here is to deepen further your understanding
of multiple intelligences and to consider how you might develop and increase
the number of ways in which you can learn. As you think of new ways to learn, please shre your ideas on the ESLgo English learning forum. Thinking of new ways to learn will help us study foreign languages (and other subjects)!
5.
Plan and produce your report. Remember you are telling
your lecturer how you learn best and how you might face new learning challenges.
Be convincing!
