1. Multiple Intelligences
The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University. It suggests that the traditional notion of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes eight different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults. These intelligences are:
Linguistic intelligence (“word smart”)
Logical-mathematical intelligence (“number/reasoning smart”)
Spatial intelligence (“picture smart”)
Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence (“body smart”)
Musical intelligence (“music smart”)
Interpersonal intelligence (“people smart”)
Intrapersonal intelligence (“self smart”)
Naturalist intelligence (“nature smart”)

How to Write a Biography
A biography is simply the story of a life. Very short biographies tell the basic facts of
someone's life and importance.
Biographies analyze and interpret the events in a person's life. They try to find connections,
explain the meaning of unexpected actions or mysteries, and make arguments about the
significance of the person's accomplishments or life activities. A person biography can tell
us a lot about a particular time and place.Many biographies are written in chronological
order.
To write a biography you should:
1. Find out the basic facts of you.
2. Think about what you would like to tell about you, and what parts of the life you want
to write most about:
○ What makes you special or interesting?
○ What are the adjectives you would most use to describe you?
○ What examples from your life illustrate those qualities?
○ What events shaped or changed your life?
○ Childhood
○ Hometown/Country
○ Current life
