Howard Gardner created a theory of multiple intelligences that is a wonderful way to teach students that there is more than one way to learn and grow your understanding of the world!

Students can have the opportunity to grow their awareness of how they learn and where their strengths lie. Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences include:

Students should use illustrations and short descriptions to describe what each category means and how it applies to their own life.
