MI Chapter 6

As we should have learned by now, there is no one set of teaching strategies that will work for all students all the time. Armstrong presents us with forty teaching strategies in this chapter, five for each intelligence. It is difficult to condense all of these guides into a small chapter review so I'll just list them. Linguistic intelligence is usually what teachers find easiest to teach to since traditional teaching methods usually cater this type. Logical-Mathematical intelligence is traditionally restricted to math and science courses, the critical thinking movement has helped change this though. Spatial thinking for some is the most untapped resource, it is present in more people than we usually think. Bodily-Kinesthetic learners can show answer by using their body as the medium, since our bodies are always with us, it is important to use it as an instruction means. People with a musical intelligence can often use music to memorize things, I had a hard time uncovering however, how learners are able to go in depth into a subject. The best strategy to help interpersonal learners is to allow them to bounce ideas and topics off other people, they have been helped a great deal by collaboration. Intrapersonal learners need to have come time to feel like they are alone and to reflect on ideas deeply to themselves (like me). Anything that we can do to either bring our students outside, or bring the outside in, will help naturalist intelligences.
