Chapter 6

This chapter discussed different teaching strategies for every Multiple Intelligence. For example, a Linguistic method would be story telling and journal writing, while a Spatial method could be idea sketching. It explains with each method why it is important to use different activities. It stated why each activity is helpful to the students and their learning. It expressed how a classroom compiled of different intelligences needs to be catered to in teaching methods. If you can find activities to relate to each intelligence, then you can interest every student in the class.

When planning our lessons we found it hard to incorporate different Multiple Intelligences into our lesson plans. This chapter gave us great ideas of things to use. For example, to help the intrapersonal intelligence we can have our students reflect on what they feel the topic of discussion means to them. It gave a great in depth approach to teaching for every different intelligence. With all of the different intelligences it's hard not to find an example if something to use in a classroom. It's going to be hard for us to incorporate all of the different learning styles into our curriculum, but with these examples it made it easier. In math, for example, idea of the "body answers" was a more exciting way to teach balancing of equations. By separating the class into two sides of an equation, and letting them figure out how to reduce it down and find the solution it may appeal to a wider range of kids, especially if done to music.
