Multiple Intelligences Chapter 7



Abstract:
Chapter seven in MI was an incredibly short chapter focusing how to create a classroom environment that encourages use of MI. They centered on two topics: the ecological factor (the physical classroom environment) and MI activity centers. They list questions about each intelligence to quiz yourself on if you are providing stimulation for each of the intelligences. They conclude by explaining what temporary and permanent activity centers for each intelligence are and how they can be integrated. They also provide examples of what games and activities could be included for each center and how to arrange the classroom to accommodate these centers.



Self-Relations:
All of us found the idea of activity centers for students in their free time was useful and interesting but were either impractical or not age appropriate. The stress on not providing students with simple “busy work” was also a hot topic as we all knew the feeling of doing worksheets that accomplished nothing. However, despite the few useful things to be found in the chapter it could have been combined with chapters five and six to create a cohesive, useful chapter that was not broken up.
