Multiple Intelligences Chapter Five

Multiple intelligences chapter five is all about instructing students in a way that is compatible with all of the intelligences. The chapter then spends some time giving unique examples of what you could do to incorporate the multiple intelligences into your lessons as much as possible. The author then goes on to explain the difference between traditional and mi teaching and why mi teaching is so much more powerful. Finally the author goes into explaining how to develop mi lessons using a seven step approach and gives an eight day example of a lesson plan made in this way.
As a group we came at the chapter from several different directions some of us loved the chapter for the thematic instruction section which reminded us of the GRASPS that we are using personally for the unit. Others enjoyed the chapter for the rich ideas that they harvested to use in their lesson plans thanks to the plethora of mi exercises on the first few pages. But regardless of where we came from while reading we were all in agreement that this would be an invaluable resource both now and later in our careers.
