Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence

 Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence  Gardner, H. (1983). Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence. In Frames of Mind: Theories of Multiple Intelligences (pp. 205-236). (Available on Course Reserves)  This article highlighted three major points for me: - The neuropsychological proclivities of people paired with the connection to life decisions - The value of looking closely, mindfulness, and understanding the role of perception - My love of symbolism has a longer human lineage that traces our neuropsychological development!  My action-steps: - I plan to look into "Genius Hour," which is an in-class session opportunity to showcase students' unique, independent talents/skills - I plan to make more opportunities for students to showcase their unique intelligences along with observing and documenting their process of those talents.

Burton, J.M. Preface. Ch. 9. Early Adolescence: Ideas in search of forms

  Burton, J.M. Preface. Ch. 9. Early Adolescence: Ideas in search of forms This chapter gave a mixed assessment of children between the ages of 10-14 years old. My major take-away was how this period is an investigation of truth. Children are asking questions about themselves and the world around them. They are asking "serious" questions about life, connections, and hypocrisy. Due to the investigative mode (mindset) comic strips and doodling prove to be excellent forms of expression for thinking about topics, questions, streams of consciousness. Burton states that it is the "Stage of Reasoning" highlighted by Lowenfeld that is flanked by a shaky foundation of truth/reality and the need to use/relate to the culture and conditions of their circumstance.  The realization of multiple truths led me to my current unit for 8th grade. We are discussing topics such as race, privilege, (I don't know if "class" exists currently), and spirituality/religion. All to
