DescriptionPen and Paper Method

1. Using their dominant Multiple Intelligence, the students will present to the class the answer to the question, “What is a Canadian??nbsp; For example, if the student's dominant Multiple Intelligence was musical/rhythmic, one would expect that student to answer the question with a song or a rap. The naturalist may answer the question by showing examples of the different animals, foliage, soils, rocks, and minerals found across our vast land.

2. This assignment is open widely to interpretation. There are no wrong answers. Rather, this assignment should show the diversity of the learning styles found amongst the students in the classroom. Encourage the students to be creative and to enjoy the assignment. The concept of being Canadian will be different for each and every one of us. Therefore, the teacher may want to hold a large group discussion following the presentations and, in so doing encourage the students to listen to the ideas and opinions of others.
