about Journal Assessment
Materials
Background
This assessment is based on Howard Gardener's theory of multiple
intelligences. See the resources below for more information:
- San Jose Elementary
School - Florida's first mutiple intelligence school.
- Nueva School- a
private pre-kindergarten through eighth grade school in Hillsborough,
California that utilizes Gardener's theories.
What To Do
Have students CREATE a Reflection
Journal which specfically targets a variety of the seven
intelligences.

Have students WRITE in their Reflection Journal an insight
or thought that occurred to them as they did the pH activities.
This type of journal entry uses the "Intrapersonal Intelligence".
Have students ILLUSTRATE an idea or experiment
from the pH activities thereby ultilizing their "Visual-spatial
Intelligence".

Have students CREATE or FIND a song or melody that relates
to the pH activities. The "Musical-rhythmic Intelligence"
can assist students in the memorization of valuable data.

Have students LIST or RECORD any interesting patterns your
student's noticed as they did the pH activity. This utilizes
the "Logical-mathematical Intelligence".

Have students WRITE about the pH activities, including both
what happened and their feelings about what happened. One of
the most common journal entries, this taps "Verbal-linguistic
Intelligence".

Have students WRITE, RECORD, or VIDEOTAPE what they would
want to share with others about the pH activity. Another common
entry, this is referred to as "Interpersonal Intelligence".

Have students VIDEOTAPE or PHOTOGRAPH body movements or gestures
that represent a feeling or concept from the pH activities, and
include tapes or photos in their journals. This uses their "Body-Kinesthetic
Intelligence".
