Chapter 6: MI and Teaching Strategies

This chapter was about different teaching styles keeping the theory of multiple intelligences in mind. The chapter listed each theory and then categorized teaching strategies under which intelligence it would most likely target. A few examples of each will be listed. Linguistics: storytelling, tape recording, and journal writing. Logical- Mathematical: calculations, categorizing, and science thinking. Spatial: visualization, picture metaphors, and graphics. Bodily-Kinesthetic: reenactments, hands-on thinking, and charades. Musical: raps, chants, actual songs, and mood music. Interpersonal: peer sharing, collaborative groups, and simulations. Intrapersonal: personal connections, goal setting sessions, and reflections. Naturalistic: nature walks, plants as props, and pets in the classroom. This impacts my classroom by giving me specific examples of different ways I can teach to reach the multiple intelligences in my classroom. This affects my students because I will help them learn more effectively and by offering variety, will keep class interesting.
