MI Chapter 8

Abstract:
Chapter eight focused on different MI methods and activities that teachers can use to manage classroom behavior, especially behavioral problems with students. it provided varous ecamples of how to introduce new transitional topics and better effectively solve behavioral problems using different MIs. A template was provided that listed different intelligences and punishments that can be used to solve these problems. The chapter strongly encouraged enforcing methods that were in the same MI as the student causing the issue.
Reflection:
We found this chapter to be one of the more useful chapters in MI. Aside from chapter 6, I believe that this chapter provided the reader with the most relevant and informative information. One thing we found particularly interesting was if instead of yelling or repeating for students to be quiet, teachers could just stop talking or write "silence please" on the board. Many of us would definitely respond if a teacher did that.
