Concept to classroom (Gardner's 7 intelligences).

Applying your lesson plans to incorporate Gardner's seven intelligences goes along with being able to teach the same concept in many different ways. Since people do learn in different ways, it is very realistic to create a classroom atmosphere that can use every one's strengths, and explore the other domains of learning. In can be challenging for the educator to find unique and interesting ways to access each learning style in their lesson planning. For example, I am planning on teaching music in secondary schools. Many of the students will probably have a fairly increased aptitude for music; however, for those that are strong in other areas I will have to be very creative...one example I have thought of involved a nerf basketball hoop posted onto some type of board with solfedge across the sides. The goal would be to be able to follow the solfedge where my hand was pointing at, be able to hear and sing those pitches correlated with the solfedge. If they are correct, they shoot a basket. This would be using spatial, musical (which can be considered mathematical as well), interpersonal, and self. Language could be incorporated by taking a piece being worked on in class and singing it in English, followed by singing it in solfedge.
