Team 4's Chapter 6 Multiple Intelligence Synthesis

We agreed as a group that this chapter in large, pretty much piggy-backed off of chapter 5. It discussed in greater detail how to tailor assignments to each intelligence. The chapter was structured by dividing it up in 40 examples, 5 for each of the 8 intelligences, of ways to tailor lessons to that particular way of learning.
The chapter talked about the fact that the point of the reading was not to make us feel as educators that we have to tailor each of our lessons in 8 different ways to cater to each intelligence, but rather to make sure we are giving continuous variety, so that our classroom does not become stagnant and so that our students' minds will all have a chance to be truly engaged at least some of the time.

We felt that the chapter was very effective in the sense that it gave us lots of concrete examples. We also liked the fact that this chapter didn't use any metaphors for learning-- it was straightforward and made us easily understand how we will apply these skills in the classroom.
