Chapter 5: MI and Curriculum Development

Chapter Five of the Multiple Intelligences book was about the role of Multiple Intelligence theory in developing our curriculums. The long lists of ideas for teaching to different intelligences was really helpful – that would be a good few pages to have an extra copy of, maybe to keep somewhere. I may have trouble coming up for ideas for some of the other intelligences I don’t really relate to, like naturalist or spatial, so it’s good to have a laundry list of ideas that can be elaborated on. I think this chapter will be very important when I’m teaching a classroom. I’m starting to realize the importance of having a professional library. The idea of making an eight-branch graphic organizer is also really helpful to me.
