I have to honest?...This is my favorite MI learning style. Why? Because while I took the in MI assessment I scored the highest in the spatial intelligence. Also, in the area of Social Studies, there are so many opportunities for students to learn using this learning style.
WHAT IS SPATIAL?
Spatial
intelligence is the ability to think in three dimensions. This intelligence includes the ability to "see" mental imagery in the spatial forms. Students can image manipulation, graphic and artistic skills, and an
active imagination. Some students who excel in this area might enjoy drawing, reading maps, watching movies (making short videos), or mazes.
Below are a few examples of lessons and assessments that are focused upon spatial intelligence. I have include a link to these lessons/assignments so please feel free to check them out!
Pictograms: This is a wonderful activity that allows students to draw small pictures to represent vocabulary words. Students are engaged in this assignment.
Commemorative Postage Stamps assignment: For this assignment, students create their own postage stamp based upon a historical event or a historical significant person. Then, students write a short paragraph explaining the picture and the historical significant.
Third Party Candidate Brochure: The spacial learner loves this assignment-creating a brochure. Sometime students create this using computer programs or by hand. But spacial learners become focused as work to create engaging political brochures.
WWI - Propaganda Poster Analysis: This is a colorful assignment. Students enjoy examining and analyzing these primary source documents from World War I. Please feel free to check out the details of this assignment.
