Asking a character or person a list of questions is a great idea. That can be applied in other subjects as well. You could ask the person you are interviewing what type of "smart" they are as one of your questions. Can tie in with differentiated instruction or multi-genre projects- different types of intelligence. A little more structure for writing a poem would be helpful (a visual). A survey is a high motivation activity for students. You could start the year with one then compare how they have changed at the end of the year. Lesson was very open ended so maybe add a handout to narrow down the choices. Could offer students the chance to write a poem about someone who shares your type of intelligence. Older students- have students brainstorm what professions would fall under each category of intelligence. You could possibly apply this to college essay writing. You could add this piece to another project or presentation about a person. Challenge kids to find a person who has all 8 types of intelligence. Have a friend or parent fill out the survey for a student to see if the results match. It's good for us as teachers to consider all the types of intelligence our students have. Could we take a lesson and change it into one of the other types? For example, can we take a lesson and turn it into a body smart lesson? Nice way to incorporate biographies.
