MI Chapter Four

Abstract:

Chapter four of Multiple Intelligences talks about allowing students to learn about the multiple intelligences. The chapter says that the eight intelligences can be easily explained to a variety of age groups as long as we change the explanation to make it appropriate for that group. The benefits from allowing our students to learn about their learning styles is so they can know how they learn. As teachers, we can better teach our students if we know how they learn. The students will also feel that their teacher is trying to reach them as individuals instead of as only a class. One of the suggestions in this chapter is to have your students study a person who learns the same way they do; it will allow them to relate to it even more and feel special.

Reflection:

It was obvious that most of the class thought that this reading about multiple intelligences was very helpful. Most people thought the ideas to use in class would be very help, although some of them would not be useful in the secondary education level. Most people felt that allowing students to learn about their intelligence would make the relationship between student and teacher better because the teacher would be able to adapt his lesson for his students.
