Multiple Intelligence - Lesson

You have been divided into groups according to your choice of elementary, choral or instrumental music for your presentation to the class. Your assignment is to choose or compose a short piece of no more than 16 measures to present to the class. Create a plan for teaching the rhythm and other musical aspects of the piece through activities that reach student preferences in the following areas of intelligence (from Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligence):

Verbal/Linguistic
Mathematical/Logical
Spatial
Kinesthetic
Interpersonal
Intrapersonal

Be prepared at the beginning of the lesson to explain what your objective is and to describe several steps that you will take to achieve the objective. Each step should focus on at least one area of intelligence from the list above.
