MI Chapter 7

The intelligences provide a “context for asking questions” about things in the class that can be beneficial to learning and shine a light on things in the classroom that are not working. If no one in the classroom is a visual learner, a teacher must be able to recognize that and alter their lesson to suit the needs of the students. This chapter then goes on and lists questions that correspond with the intelligences and how they effect the classroom. An idea that is presented in the chapter that can help a classroom that is divided up into different style learners is to follow the “types of activity centers” that is displayed in table 7.1. Different sections of a room can be used as a learning tool for students with needs. Have the students chose which “centers” there should be in the classroom for the week. This gets them motivated to learn by that specific intelligence.
