This quote resonated with me on so many levels. I remember learning about the multiple intelligences back in college. Therefore, I implement this into my classroom. When I teach Alexander the Great to my honor's students, I have them read articles and take notes on the articles. They look at if Alexander the Great was a hero or a villain. These articles show both perspectives. I then have students watch two movies that show both sides. There is also a music video for Alexander the Great as well. Students also listen to a lecture on Alexander the Great. After the lecture, students spend a block participating in a Socratic Seminar. They speak and listen to each other's ideas. The last component of this project is an essay indicating their viewpoint of him being more heroic or villainous. This project allows students to learn in so many different ways (Music, reading, listening, writing).
