4.1. Multiple Intelligences

According to Gardner, after several studies with persons with cerebral hurts they took him to the conclusion of which the intelligence human it has the following characteristics:

1. Human intelligence to consist of intelligence that can work individually or with the association of others.

2. Human intelligence is a combination of skills that allows the individual to solve problems in which you are.

3. Human intelligence it is the ability to do something.

4. Each person has a different capacity in each area of intelligence and a unique and different combination of intelligences.

5. The environment and nature incurred in each of the intelligences. This theory says that comes from developing biological and environmental intelligence.

6. The use and interaction of intelligence for understanding.

As Gardner, there are eight types of intelligences or skills according to the theory of multiple intelligences.

1. Linguistic intelligence: the skill that allow your effective use language to express and appreciate the meaning, both oral and written.

2. Logical-mathematical intelligence: the skill to do math, to reason hypothesis and proposal.

3. Visual- spatial intelligence: the skill of to indent the form, space and color, to perceive images indoors or outdoors, recreate or transform or encode and represent information graphically.

4. Kinesthetic intelligence- body: the skill to manipulate objects, to coordination movements and to use the body in order to solve problem and express ideas and feelings.

5. Musical intelligence: the skill to identify and remember the rhythm, tome, timbre and melody.

6. Naturalist intelligence: the skill to recognize and select animals, plants and minerals and to perceive seasonal changes.

7. Interpersonal intelligence: the skill to understand the feelings of others and interaction with others.

8. Intrapersonal intelligence: the skill to know yourself to know your own limitation and potentialities.

According to Gardner, these eight skills should not be taught in eight different forms or not, the teacher must be aware of and take to respond to individual differences beings students that any knowledge can be represented in different ways.

This theory aims to create opportunities for students to learn from the way that is most effective.

4.2. Activities

We have created one activity per each intelligence, like examples.

1. LINGUISTIC INTELLIGENCE

For developing language intelligence they should read a short text about the topics and then in pairs telling his/her partner with her/his own words what he/she understand. The partner will have to do the same but with a different text.

2. LOGICAL- MATHEMATICAL INTELLIGENCE

An activity that develops logical-mathematical intelligence is identify a word that doesn´t belong to the list. The topics of the list will be food. Then children can use the words not chose and create a mural with the instructions necessary for creating their favorite recipe.

3. VISUAL-SPATIAL INTELLIGENCE

We can organise a crossword with orientation trails preparing a gymkhana with all the vocabulary of an unit. The teacher hiding pieces of paper with a definition. Children, in groups of four pupils, have to find it and use this information to complete a crossword.

4. KINESTHETIC INTELLIGENCE-BODY

The teacher search or create a little story and give some roles to pupils to do a role-play. They have to dramatize it with gestures and voice changes.

5. MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE

For developing musical intelligence, students could sing a song about the content of the topic, learning it and then pronouncing stress syllables.

6. NATURALISTIC INTELLIGENCE

The teacher organises a environmental discuss about the environment in class, dividing the pupils in two teams and giving them topics and roles which they have to defend searching arguments. For that, teacher give them some classes and solve their dubs.

7. INTERPERSONAL INTELLIGENCE

We can organise a taboo words activity in five groups of five pupils, approximately. One member of group pick up a card with word he can't to say and the group have to guess a word, maybe an action, with their classmate explain. To win, the pupils need cooperate with the members of their team.

8. INTRAPERSONAL INTELLIGENCE

An activity which develops intrapersonal intelligence is a self-assesment. Because the pupils have to think about what they know and unknown, their level, about themselves.

4.3. Revision Bloom Taxonony

It's theory that pretend develop thecognitive processes in the learners. It has six skills, from less complex to more complex: 


- Remember: It is remember and recognize relevant information.
- Understand: Ability to construct meaning from pedagogical materials. 
- Apply: Application of a learned process.
- Analyze: Breaking knowledge down into parts and thinking how it is related to all the structure.
- Evaluate: it is the verification and the criticism. 
- Create:  This is generate, plan and produce knowledge.
