Break into threes to discuss this. Here's teacher who uses non-traditional intelligences in his teachings. (Show the first video)
 * 2. __Multiple Intelligences:__ ** __ What types of intelligences or learning styles do most schools teach to and favor in classroom learning experiences __ ? Are we the people who found this teaching and learning most easy to do?

Opener: Bobby McFarren Why was Bobby McFarren's methods of teaching so effective?

If you were a musical learner or a bodily-kinesthetic learner this method of teaching may have worked well for you. But maybe some of you are not quite sure of your intelligences. This brings us to our next activity. Acitivity: Multiple Intelligence quizzes

Now keeping your newly discovered intelligences in mind, lets take a look at this video on perception, filmed by a group called FAT City. Closer: FAT city Perception

What did this video on perception show you about how learners learn and how teachers tend to teach? Blaming the victim is not the right way to go. It is up to the teacher to search for new ways to present information to the student in a way that suits the student's learning style.

Closer: Do you have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset when it comes to hula hooping? How about when learning math and reading in elementary school? If you had a coach or a tutor, do you think this mindset would have changed?
