Multiple Intelligences (Wk 11)

How do you show your Mutliple Intelligences (MI)? Rememeber, these are to be celebrated - so celerbrate yourself!

One way that I show my strongest MI of logical/mathematical is that I love to make "To Do" Lists. Somehow it's very satisfying to write something down and mark it off the list. For example, I had a Thanksgiving To Do List that started the Sunday before Thanksgiving and stretched through the holiday so that I was able to get everything done. To Do Lists help me stay organized and I can work through my tasks step by step.

Bullying...Charlie experienced it...you probably have too... (Wk 9)

Being bullied. We have seen it, experienced it, and may have been a bully to someone. Bullying is when a person is picked on over and over again by an individual or group with more power, either in terms of physical strength or social standing.
 
Describe a time when you saw or experienced a form of bullying. Be sure to address these questions in your description of the incident:
  • What happened?
  • How did you feel?
  • What did you do? OR What did you wish you had done?
  • What advice would you give someone based on your experience?
 
 This response should be a paragraph in length!
