MI Chapter 2

Chapter two recaps on the eight intelligences and tests yourself on how you are a learner. What jumped out at me in this chapter is the fact that there was that intelligences can be affected biologically, personal life history, and by cultural and historical background. The best tool to analyze these intelligences is to simply observe the behaviors of both the student and yourself the teacher. Through this a pretty good sense of learning styles is present. Teaching is getting out of your personal comfort zone to better the needs of the student. A good example used was that some teachers might not draw on the board as because they never could learn that way themselves. Open your mind up to new options and incorporate drawing into your classroom another way such as a coloring project.
