Session 3 Teacher Guide
Session 3: Teach So Every Child Can Learn
Opening Activity Idea: Memorable stories
● Provide a piece of paper and marker for each volunteer
● Ask each volunteer to identify a story they remember from childhood.
● Ask them to write down one line from the story on the piece of paper.
● Have each volunteer hang up their piece of paper at the front of the room.
● Read each line aloud and ask the remaining volunteers if they can guess what story the line is from.
● You could award a prize to the volunteer who identifies the most stories correctly.
Preparation for video content or lead your volunteers in reviewing Multiple Intelligences materials (see handout)
Verbal: Retain information through hearing stories, reading, or writing
Logical: Retain information through patterns, numbers, lists, timelines
Visual: Retain information through pictures and images
Musical: Retain information through songs and rhythms
Physical/Tactile: Retain information through movement of their bodies or hands
Solitary: Retain information when given time to reflect, ponder, and consider
Social: Retain information through interaction with others and hearing their thoughts
Practice together:
● Choose a Bible story (example: Joseph is sold into slavery by his brothers)
● Divide into small groups: each group comes up with 1-2 ideas for each of the multiple intelligences categories
● Share their ideas with the rest of the group
Discussion:
● Which of the multiple intelligences categories most connect with you as a learner/teacher?
● Which of the following do you need help in finding ideas to connect with children who learn differently than you do?
Concluding Activity:
● Challenge your volunteers to use a new method during their next lesson to try to connect with children they might not easily connect with because of their learning preferences.
