Comparative Study
Instruction:
1. Observe 2 students with the same AGE and GRADE LEVEL.
2. Identify their Multiple Intelligence by using your own methods or instrument.
(don’t forget to write on your paper what method did you used)
3. Use Venn Diagram in discussing their Multiple Intelligence.
4. Write your analysis and interpretation after identifying the multiple intelligence.
5. Reflection (how will you apply the Multiple Intelligence Theory in the current
learning modality that we have this time?)
