Writing Lessons Using The Multiple Intelligences

Writing Lessons Using the Multiple Intelligences includes lessons that teach the writing process and skills in a variety of ways, addressing students' many different learning styles. For students who do not learn in a linguistic manner, writing can be difficult. Using other intelligences to teach students to write is not only valuable but also necessary. This book is designed to help non-linguistic students learn to write. Using Gardner's theory, this book helps students to develop linguistic intelligence through their other intelligences. This title will aid the instructor whose students are struggling in all areas of writing, while improving the skills of the accomplished writer.

The author of the best-selling book Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom offers practical strategies for teaching reading and writing through multiple intelligences.

In the decades since it was first introduced, Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences (MI) theory has transformed how people think about learning the world over. Educators using the theory have achieved remarkable success in helping all students, including those who learn in nontraditional ways, to navigate school (and life outside it) with confidence and success. Within the context of classroom instruction, no author besides Gardner has done more to popularize MI theory than Thomas Armstrong, whose best seller Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom has become a bona fide education classic in its own right. This expanded fourth edition provides educators at all levels with everything they need to apply MI theory to curriculum development, lesson planning, assessment, special education, cognitive skills, career development, educational policy, and more. In addition to the many strategies, templates, and examples that have made Armstrong's book so enduringly popular, this edition is updated to examine how emerging neurodiversity research, trends toward greater instructional personalization, and rapidly evolving virtual learning tools have affected the use of MI theory to enhance student achievement. It also includes brand-new lesson plans aligned to nationwide standards and a revised list of resources for further study.

Over 60 lesson plans and an abundance of articles have been compiled by teachers who have incorporated Gardner's multiple intelligences theory into their teaching repertoires. Detailed lesson outlines, student worksheets, and ideas for assessment round out this curriculum guide.

The authors demonstrate how to develop higher-order thinking, mindful decision making, and productive problem-solving skills in all students and provide a six-step process for developing thematic learning units.

This book consists of cooperative learning lesson designs, integrating writing and math.
