Hi mena22! First of all thank you for
your help. I am so sorry I bothered you, it was not my purpose. Right
now I have a very difficult economic situation, so I have 3 jobs to
help my family. I have many different compromises, but I am not trying
to get all the things done. I, myself did my research and right now I
have a PPT of about 70 slides. (Which I am planning to upload here when
ready) But I am still asking for help because I have a lot of theory
and few activities, and maybe because I�m so busy, anything comes to my
mind. I know for sure that there are many persons with wonderful ideas
here, and as you said, I didn�t forget the purpose of this site: it is
a matter of sharing... It is not your fault that I have to work so
hard, and that my time is very limited; but I have also helped many
persons in this site. I am not expecting you to feel pity of myself, I
am just giving you an explanation to reply your comment. I hope I can
help you sometime. Best wishes.

hey Dianna
I understand the big gap between knowing things in theory and then being
creative by making materials for practice.
I found this page here on this site by writing multiple intellegence and voila!
there seems to be lots of worksheets.

I hope this helps.

Dear Diana,
have you tried this?

Search worksheets, lesson-plans, flashcards... |

Just type multiple intelligence and you will have 2 pages full of exercises. You can also google for it, there are lots of sites. I hope they will help you.
There has already been a debate about how we use or should use this forum. I personally tend to agree with both sides (does this mean I am neutral or just coward?  ) I think it depends on every user of this site, on us; on our good sense or mood. Let�s try to keep things calm and smooth. A new week is about to start and we need all the energy we�ve got.
ps: dear L, I liked your VOILA.  |

It�s OK Dianna! I just wanted you to give it some thought and you have. I understand that you must work very hard and that it is extremely difficult to have 3 jobs and do them all well. After all, we are only human, arent we?! However, you have to try to organise your time. If you have been asked to make a 2-hour speech on Multiple Intelligences for other teachers in your country, that�s a Big, HUGE RESPONSIBILITY, which requires a lot of hard work from you so that you meet their expectations. That�s not something you can ask the teachers in this forum THE DAY BEFORE your presentation. And that�s certainly not something that you yourself can do overnight. Instead of trying to get more material, maybe you should just be practising your presentation, your tone of voice, your non-verbal startegies, that is, the way you are going to draw people�s attention to the content you have to trasmit - make it simple and clear -- and Be condident! Then let people share their experiences abour how they use multiple Intelligences in the classroom. They love doing that, and we all learn a lot from it. And they�ll love it even more because they will find out after your presentation that most of them already develop those intelligences with their students. Some just didn�t know that there was a theory beyond their daily practice at school. Don�t get them piles of material. TALK TO THEM! COMMUNICATE WITH THEM LOOKING THEM STRAIGHT IN THE EYE! You�ll do GREAT! Believe me!
