Honors 11--Thursday, January 3

Objective: What types of Intelligences does society value and what types should they value?

1- Discussed Respect and how it applies to this classroom. The three types are

• respect for each other
• Miss Robinson's respect for students
• Students' respect for Miss Robinson

2-Played "Who's Smarter Game"-- Students rated who was smarter based on careers. Example Concert Pianist vs.Basketball player. etc. We figured out that school emphasizes intelligence in Math, Science, English, and History, but is quick to overlook Art, Music, etc.

3-Watched Video introducing the Romantic Poets and how they perceived intelligence. We learned that they think many things constitute intelligence...not just Math and Science.

4- Handed out Poetry Packet-- See Miss Robinson for packet. This is considered your text for the unit. Bring it to class EVERY period.

5- Answered the following question on page 41 in packet. Write about something you enjoy doing outside of school that isn't valued in school or you don't get credit for. You can also focus on an elective at school you enjoy, but know isn't appreciated.

6-Multiple Intelligence Pie Chart-- see student in class to copy notes and put these notes on page 40 of the packet.

7- Got to know students' names.

Homework: None
