How You Should Be Teaching Multiliteracy

Imagine you are a middle school student challenged with the phenomenon, “What causes rainbows?” in your science classroom.
Your preferred learning style might be to watch a video depicting the dispersion of colors within a prism. Your friend would rather read an explanation; another classmate prefers to draw a diagram, while another would like to learn through experimentation with the frequency of light and refraction.
A teacher can implement a variety of pedagogical approaches to support students’ inquiry, investigation, and explanations for this phenomenon. But how can pedagogy respond to the various preferred learning styles in a single classroom? Tackling this instructional challenge can either deepen students’ learning and metacognition or, unfortunately, create frustration. There is no right or wrong approach to honoring student modalities: rather it’s the notion that all individualized learning styles are recognized, respected, and valued within each lesson experience.
