Intrapersonal: This means that I demonstrate effective awareness, or understand others' feelings, attitudes, and outlook. I have a strong ethical awareness, as well as self-regulation and metacognition. Since I am somewhat of a tactile learner, these intrapersonal traits serve as positive characteristics when working directly with others.
Musical: Learners that benefit from music or rhythm have heightened listening ability, use patterning and resonance to focus and remember, and think musically rather than verbally. Being a strong auditory learner along with tactile techniques, thinking in terms of rhythm rather than words allows for identification with patterns as an expression of experience.
Students with intrapersonal intelligences will benefit from teachers who use analogies in making comparisons, have students create classroom goals, and examine current events in terms of social justice. Specific activities could consist of journals, self-assessment, and class discussions.
Creating a welcoming environment for students with musical intelligences would entail drawing visual patterns, identifying rhyme scheme, and being attentive to sounds in one's environment. Adding music and multimedia presentations to a lesson will engage musical learners.
In my future classroom I will work towards creating a comfortable environment for all students and all types of intelligences. Although I benefit from musical and intrapersonal approaches, I must remember to continue to use tactics that will benefit other learning styles.
