Week 4 Assignment: Planning Instruction for Diverse Students

Please watch my video to help you with this week’s assignment: https://www.loom.com/share/b74956fc33d242df977c415457aaf3cd

 

Howard Gardner developed the theory of multiple intelligences to categorize types of students. Some students exhibit several of the intelligences, while others may reflect only one. The intent of understanding Gardener’s theory is to engage and motivate all students by developing instruction through varying activities.

For this assignment, complete the "Planning Instruction for Diverse Students" template based on the following scenario and lesson plan:

Ms. Allen, a sixth-grade teacher, is about to teach a lesson on plot development and resolution. She knows she has a wide variety of students in her class with specific strengths and wants to draw upon them to maximize student attention and learning. Ms. Allen knows using an anticipatory set will activate prior learning, as well as engage and motivate the students initially, but she also knows varying her instruction to serve her students’ needs is imperative.

Determine how Ms. Allen can develop specific learning opportunities based on Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences.

For each of the intelligences listed, design a developmentally appropriate lesson activity Ms. Allen could incorporate to increase student engagement and learning. Each explanation should be 50-100 words and based on Gardner’s theory. **Please keep in mind, if you want to earn a 5 on the rubric, your explanation for each activity must be 50-100 words or more and contain scholarly citations that support your description to be considered “comprehensive understanding”.

Also, don’t forget that each intelligence activity must still be aligned to Ms. Allen’s reading lesson’s standard and objective on plot. If alignment is not followed, then you will not earn full credit on this assignment.

Support your findings with 2-3 scholarly resources. (make sure to use your textbook)

While GCU format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented, using GCU documentation guidelines, which can be found in the GCU Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Please use the attached corrected template below. It is required.

I have attached a visual example with some instructor feedback as well. Please see below.

Also, if you need some help understanding the COE Lesson Plan format, please see that attached file below.

This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion of the assignment. (**Please see my comment about the rubric above, to earn the best possible grade.)

One citation per intelligence is expected. 2-3 different scholarly sources required.
