Reading




Reading:

Have you ever heard about the theory of multiple intelligences? It was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University. It suggests that the traditional notion of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing ( I.Q. stands for intelligence quotient), is far too limited. 

Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes eight different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults. These intelligences are:logical-mathematical intelligence, verbal intelligence, musical intellgence, visual intellgence, body intellgence and intepersonal intellgence.

  1. Hi! My name is Agustina, my strongest intelligent is visual intelligence. Because, I think that I am good at drawing, painting and designing.
    I spend all my life drawing because a love it. I wish make tattoos some day, but I have to buy the machine and this is very expensive.
    I am in the first year of fashion design at the college called Universidad del Este. For now I love this career because I have to draw a lot.
    I hate logical-mathematical intelligence because is very boring, and I have interpersonal intelligence too because I enjoy talking with different people.

    We choose Naturalist intelligent because we think that we are good at take care of the planet. If we see someone throwing papers or something else that is not good for the world, we try to avoid it.
    Also we have Visual intelligent, because we have the capacity to remember faces, pictures that we saw before.

    Also we think that everybody must take care the environment because, for example, trees give us the oxygen and also we must take care the water because it is important for the planet life.

  4. I think I have musical intelligence because I really enjoy listening and making music. In one opportunity I made a little song. I play the saxophone since 2007. I’m good at reading scores and following the time of the song. So I want to learn a lot more of music and in the future be a good musician.

  5. We chose “Musical Intelligent” because we enjoy listening music and playing any instruments, like the guitar,flute and piano. We hate listening at electro music because we think this music doesn’t have any sense.
    Florencia M. is good at playing flute and guitar.. she has played for seven years on concerts in many places, like “Conservatorio Giraldo Gilardi” and “Pasaje Dardo Rocha”.
    Daniela M. is good at playing piano, now she is learning how to play “Cannon” by Pachelbel.

  7. My strongest intelligence is visual because I usually remember images. That’s why I really enjoy painting, drawing and creating things. In the article I read that people with this intelligence should be architects or sculptors.
    When I go to college, I’m going to choose fashion designing for my career.
    I hate logical-mathematical intelligence because it is always the same.
    I think that I have interpersonal intelligence too because I can make friends very easily and I’m not shy at all.

  8. Hi Nelba,

    I think that my strongest intelligence is a mix between Verbal, Logical/Mathematical and Visual intelligence.

    1) Logical/mathematical: because I love to use the computer, I’m good at it and I understand it. I’ll study System Analysts

    2) Visual: I’m good at drawing, I have visual memory, I love drawing, I started drawing when I was young.

    3) Verbal: I write very good poems, shorts stories and things like that.

    C U later,

    I’m Dany from jóvenes 5 menores “B”.

  12. My best intelligence
    I think my most dominant intelligent might be visual/special.
    That’s because I enjoy painting and drawing a lot , but I’m bad at remembering faces. So I think my best intelligence is logical/mathematical because I’m good at math, even through most people hate it. The article says I could be an engineer.

  15. The exercises was very useful for me, it helps me remember how to use present perfect continuous in my homework.
    For me, it was easy but I revised the theory because I did some bad exercises and then I corrected them.

  17. We think that what happen in the video is true: only you know when to stop. The adolescent spend a lot of time in the computer without an interesting or an useful reason. At the moment young person know each other slant the monitor whit no human contact.

    They take a risk connecting with strangers or showing information or photos in social web pages.

    From now on we will have more care about the internet and the time that we spend on it.
