**8. Teach students about multiple intelligences: Here are two ways to do that:** .............. - This is a wonderful little story that you can read aloud to students about a prince who has to go on a quest and use his 8 intelligences. There is a short list of props that can enhance the effect of the story for students. Fourth graders respond to it very well. Let me know if your class does also!

............Another way to introduce the multiple intelligences and MIDAS to students is to have them read the and then deliver your version of this MIDAS script to them. This King Midas story is OK for 5th and 6th graders, but you may want to use this simpler version for younger students. .
