2. Providing Ss various ways to demonstrate understanding
3. Helping Ts understand Ss’ intelligences
4. Helping Ts develop lesson plans addressing learner needs
a. Lesson planning flowerb. Asking certain questions
Linguistic : How can I use the spoken or written words? Mathematical: How can I bring in logic, or critical thinking? Spatial: How can I use visual aids, color, art, or metaphor? Musical: How can I bring in music, or set key points in melody? Bodily: How can I involve the whole body or hands-on work? Interpersonal: How can I engage Ss in cooperative learning? Intrapersonal: How can I evoke personal feelings or give choices?

e. The Four Teaching Stages
Awaking ( Feeling)
Amplifying ( Look/Hear)
Teaching for/with (content-based)
Transfering(Task-based)
7. MI Authentic Assessment
1. Three Stages
(1) Before -Readiness Assessment (2) During -Formative Assessment (3) After - Summative Assessment
Readiness Summative
Awaken Amplify Teaching Transfer
Formative
