MI Chapter Four

This chapter was mainly about how, as a teacher, you can introduce multiple intelligence to your students in a way that they’ll understand and a way that they’ll be able to see how their multiple intelligence carries out of school and into the real world. The chapter talks about many different ways that teachers can introduce and integrate activities surrounding multiple intelligence into the classroom. The only thing I really noticed though, is that most of these ideas would probably work best with a group of younger students, as opposed to middle or high school students, but there are most likely ways that you can change the ideas slightly to make them fit middle or high schoolers.

My favorite part of this chapter was when the author said that one of the best ways to try and teach students about multiple intelligence and what kind of multiple intelligence they might have, is to show them examples of the world outside of school. By bringing in adults to talk about their careers and what kind of intelligence their career requires and also bringing students outside the classroom to see these intelligences first hand, could help them get a sense of what multiple intelligence is and how it relates to the real world.

The most important thing that I picked up from this chapter is that students need to understand that they have more than just one of the multiple intelligences and that by doing these activities in the classroom, students will learn that their intelligences can be used in many different ways and they all have more than one of them inside them.
