This first week in the English class, we got to know each other and do some entertaining activities which are the following:
1.- First we learned about types of intelligences and we did a test:
Intelligence:
Individuals differ from one another in their ability to understand complex ideas, to adapt effectively to the environment, to learn from experience, to engage in various forms of reasoning, and to overcome obstacles by taking thought. Although these individual differences can be substantial, they are never entirely consistent: a given person’s intellectual performance will vary on different occasions, in different domains, as judged by different criteria. Concepts of "intelligence" are attempts to clarify and organize this complex set of phenomena. Although considerable clarity has been achieved in some areas, no such conceptualization has yet answered all the important questions, and none commands universal assent. Indeed, when two dozen prominent theorists were recently asked to define intelligence, they gave two dozen, somewhat different, definitions.
The seven types of intelligence
-Linguistic: People with this kind of intelligence enjoy writing, reading, telling stories or doing crossword puzzles.
-Logical-Mathematical: People with lots of logical intelligence are interested in patterns, categories and relationships. They are drawn to arithmetic problems, strategy games and experiments.
-Bodily-Kinesthetic: These people process knowledge through bodily sensations. They are often athletic, dancers or good at crafts such as sewing or woodworking.
-Spatial: These people think in images and pictures. They may be fascinated with mazes or jigsaw puzzles, or spend free time drawing, building with Legos or daydreaming.
-Musical: Musical people are always singing or drumming to themselves. They are usually quite aware of sounds others may miss. These kids are often discriminating listeners.
-Interpersonal: People who are leaders among their peers, who are good at communicating and who seem to understand others' feelings and motives possess interpersonal intelligence.
-Intrapersonal: These people may be shy. They are very aware of their own feelings and are self-motivated.
2.- Then we were challenged to build the highest and cheapest skyscraper:
Materials List:
-13, 30cm Wood sticks: $3,900.00
-4 Styrofoam plates: $1,000.00
-Glue: $Free.
Company's name: Double J Productions Inc.
Building's name: DJP Inc.
Building height: 1.25 m
This week I felt really comfortable with the english class, I had fun and enjoyed. We did really fun activities, played games, we presented ourselves, talked about our likes and interests, did a test and build the skyscraper, I felt like I could give more for the class, pay more attention, and don´t get distracted by such little things as I sometimes do, my goals are to be a better student, pay more attention and behave well.
