|  |  |  | Intrapersonal Intelligence (Source: Walter McKenzie www.surfaquarium.com) Students with a strong intrapersonal intelligence:
* Are comfortable with themselves * Express strong like or dislike of particular activities * Communicate their feelings * Sense their own strengths and weaknesses * Show confidence in their abilities * Set realistic goals * Make appropriate choices * Follow their instincts * Express a sense of justice and fairness * Relate to others based on their sense of self
Support this intelligence in the classroom by:
* Differentiating instruction * Using analogies in making comparisons * Providing activities which offer learner choices * Having students set goals for themselves in the classroom * Including daily journal writing in your classroom routine * Providing opportunities for learners to express their feelings on a topic * Allowing opportunities for student reflection on learning * Examining current events in terms of social justice * Including student self-assessment in classroom assessment strategies * Utilizing interest inventories, questionnaires, interviews and other approaches to measuring student growth
Technologies that stimulate this intelligence:
* Journals * Diaries * Surveys * Voting machines * Learning centers * Children's literature * Class discussion * Real time projects * Online surveys * Online forms * Digital portfolios * Self-assessments
