MODULE 10
STRATEGIES TO ENHANCE MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES
(April 22 , 2024)
Introduction
In virtually all classrooms, students possess varied intelligences, some of which may even be undetected
by teachers and therefore are unharnessed. Some may lag behind in class because they are
unchallenged. This module, Module 10 lists experiences that may be provided to children with specific
intelligence/s to provide for their learning needs.
I. Objectives
The reading materials in this module and the activities will help you to:
1. Identify learning experiences that may be provided to children to harness their intelligences.
2. Select from the list what may used in regular English and Mathematics classes.
3. Write a plan on how the learning experience chosen from among the list may be
applied with a peer with a learning difficulty.
II. Anticipatory Set
In the previous module, Module 9, you were presented with activities that may be used with gifted
children. Enumerate once again the intelligences mentioned in Howard Garner’s Theory of Multiple
Intelligences.
III. Lesson Proper
Table 1 lists learning experiences classified by multiple intelligences that may be used by teachers in the
classroom or off the classroom to help learners experiencing difficulty in learning.

Select from among the list categorized by multiple intelligences at least ONE learning
experience appropriate in a lesson in Mathematics or English. Copy one or make your
own strategy. DO ON A CLEAR SHEET OF PAPER AND PASS TO YOUR TEACHER.
