Chapter 6: MI Theory and Teaching Strategies

This chapter was basically a list of example strategies that a teacher could use for each type of intelligence. Chapters like this are the reason that future teachers should keep their books. When the time comes in a classroom that you are thinking of ways to incorporate a type of intelligence into the lesson, having a book with examples that are supported by evidence of why it is effective, is invaluable. The interesting thing about the example strategies is that a lot of them actually overlap each other so students of different intelligences could be interested using the same activity. One of the strategies that I think is powerful is the discographies; students are usually into some type of music, so if a teacher does this correctly the students would be grabbed by the use of music.
