Eight Ways of Learning

(ELA B10: Environment and Technology)

 

Type of intelligence

How someone with this type thinks

Culminating project suggestions

Linguistic

In words

Develop a portfolio of stories or poems that contain ideas and themes from the unit readings and class discussions or develop and deliver a speech

Logical-mathematical

By reasoning

 

Perform a series of experiments in which you document the results or design a web page that highlights some of the issues related to the environment and technology

Spatial

In images and pictures

Create a photo/art exhibit, video/ documentary, or scrapbook that documents how a particular piece of technology provides both benefits and risks to the local community

Bodily-kinesthetic

Through somatic sensations

Create a dance sequence, tableau, mime sequence, or drama in context that portrays one of the passages from the unit readings

Musical

Via rhythms and melodies

Create a sound piece, rhythmic sequence, or song that highlights the relationship between a particular piece of technology and the local environment

Interpersonal

By bouncing ideas off other people

Do a survey of at least 100 of your peers regarding their views about how a particular technological development relates to, or is affecting, the local environment and document the results

Intrapersonal

In relation to their needs, feelings, and goals

Spend an hour outdoors or at a museum during the week and design a journal based on the ideas gained through your experiences, the readings in this unit, and your personal reflections

Naturalist

Through nature and natural forms

Explore a local park, and create a guide for the park using passages from the unit readings for inspiration
