Howard Gardner (2013) stated that irrespective of the subject you teach’- “the arts,
the sciences, history or math”, you should present your learning materials in
multiple ways. He further stated that providing information in diverse ways not
only enable the student to learn the material better but also helps educators to
increase and reinforce their mastery of the content.

Based on the above statement, you are required to identify a topic of your choice and
discuss how you will attend to two types of multiple intelligences proposed by
Howard Gardner in order to address the needs of your learners in your ICT class. You
are required to:
(a) Elaborate on two ways of presenting your learning materials to teach your
pupils (e.g of types of activities: (i) dancing, (ii) singing etc) for each of the
two types of intelligences being discussed. You are expected to make use of
drawings to support your arguments or attach the lyrics of a song if you are
using those approaches.
(b) Analysis of two types of multiple intelligence to develop the two activities.
(c) Explaining two socio-emotional benefits to the child and the underlying
competencies that he/she would develop while attending the activities that you
would propose.
(d) Providing a critical reflection on the activities proposed.
