Chapter 5

This chapter talks about developing a curriculum while keeping in mind the mutliple intelligences. It mentions different ways of developing the curriculum and different ways to present the material to the students. One way to present the content to the students is to use different materials whenever you use a different intelligence. There are seven steps to developing lesson plans: 1. Focus on a Specific Objective or Topic, 2. Ask Key Multiple Intelligence Questions, 3. Consider the Possibilities, 4. Brainstorm, 5. Select Appropriate Activities, 6. Set Up a Sequential Plan, and 7. Implement the Plan.

The web that they presented to us in this chapter reminded us all of the web that we had to complete in class when we began to plan our lessons. In the web, we use Bloom's six facets, as well as all eight multiple intelligences. This chapter was very informative to all of us and we all agree that most likely, once we become teachers, this will be a book and a chapter that we will all go back to when we are planning our units and lessons. It was very helpful and we can always go back to the web that they show in figure 5.2.
