chapter 6

Abstract

This chapter was a short one that detailed five different classroom strategies for each of the eight intelligences and how it is important to use a variety of these methods in the classroom. The example that were given were things like creating an inner blackboard for spatial learners, to discographies for musical learners, to use board games for interpersonal learns and the use pets in the classroom for the naturalist learners. In all in this chapter there were forty strategies that we were introduced to. Some more of these were things like taking a short nature walk, a one minute reflecting time, or producing a song in the classroom. But overall the main focus in this chapter was to help teachers use different strategies in their classroom to teach information.

Reflection

We all agreed that some of the information will be helpful to use in the classroom and at some point in time we will use these strategies to portray information or, maybe just keep or classroom interesting. One thing that Chelsea had thought of using was the color cues in her classroom, because she believes this will help with visual and spatial learners. However she does not feel that in her classroom at least keeping an animal is a good idea because it does seem to be a bit unrealistic. Audra also confirm the point that this chapter will help out a lot for those of us who are uncomfortable with a certain part of the MI theory. By using some of these strategies we can because more comfortable and be able to use all of the Mi at one point or another.
