__**Maine Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale**__

 * //Standard 3 - Demonstrates a knowledge of the diverse ways in which students learn and develop by providing learning opportunities that support their intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and cultural development.//**
 * Rationale:** Through this lesson, I will target my instruction to all six multiple intelligences which are interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalist, logical/mathematical, verbal/linguistic, and visual/spatial. My goal is through implementing different learning strategies that will appeal to learners of all different MI's that students will grasp the main idea and purpose of this lesson. I will also incorporate the learning styles of a puppy, beach ball, clipboard,and microscope. For example, clipboard learners will find that a rubric is easy to follow since they can see what rules they need to follow and what is expected of them for a certain assignment. Another example that I will use to help learners of these four styles is that microscope learners can understand the main concept of this lesson through going deep into the reading and providing research they do in their own time.
