A Multiple Intelligences Theory Lesson on Meditation
I had a number of enjoyable projects as part of my time at CSU, but one of the projects I enjoyed the most was developing a lesson for meditation using Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences. The synthesis I wrote has also been included as part of my portfolio, but this is the concrete example of the result of that synthesis.
​
I've included this in my portfolio because it's a concrete example of one of the many teaching styles I learned as part of the AET program. It also illustrates my ability to use a specific teaching style that is normally directed toward primary education to create a lesson for adults instead.
​
I've included two items to download: first, a PDF of the presentation including the transcript of the audio narration I included with the original slides. Second, the original PowerPoint, including the narration.
Full sized images of the pictures on slide 15 are available on the gallery above by clicking on the picture. The PDF and word documents referenced in the presentation can be downloaded below.
​
I am still looking for a way to add the audio references to my site for ease of access.
