MI Chapter 5

Abstract:

Chapter 5 of MI focused on not being like the "traditional teacher." The chapter focused on applying multiple intelligences to lesson plans and curriculum. MI theory contributes to a teacher's education process by suggesting that teachers expand the resources that they currently use and try to make every student as successful as possible. This is important for teachers to do, as it goes beyond the book and chalk board and brings the topics more to life. MI theory does not have to be rigid in its incorporation into lesson plans and can be applied in a number of ways.

Reflection:

The group that that incorporating MI for the sake of incorporating MI defeats its purpose. At the high school level, some of the suggestions provided were not appropriate. However, the chapter did offer several ideas that could possibly be used in our WHERETO's. Some of the MI's can be used in a simple lecture, where the teacher can use the visual, bodily, and nature analogies all in one.
