2. Demonstrate ways to develop critical thinking skills by taking into account the “different kinds of minds” that Temple Grandin discusses. (Hint- she talks about 3 different types of thinkers!) Remember to define critical thinking skills in your paper!
3. What is Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences? Give some examples of how you can develop these different ways of “being smart” in the classroom.
4. Share your thoughts on these theories and how they apply to YOU as a learner!
Paper will be 3-5 pages in length. You can use outside sources- besides the text. Please use three sources at the least (text, video, and at least one other source). These sources must be documented in a Resource Page. Look for good referenced sources as , for instance, those that can be found in the ERIC database that can be accessed through the SJR State library page. Papers should be done in APA format.
