Chapter 6: MI and Teaching Strategies

Expanding on the previous chapter, Armstrong goes into detail about multiple ways to teach to each intelligence. Instead of using expected examples, he lists ideas that are novel and do-able. Rather than reach linguistic students only in English, tell them a story in science. Use color to help students organize their ideas, opinions, and facts. Don’t just play music in class: set vocabulary words to a rhythm, put the names of the fifty states into song-form. The possibilities for each intelligence are endless, and reading about ideas and examples just sparks more for me. Coming up with new ways to convey information or get students to think is exciting and invigorating to me. While it may be a challenge, learning teaching strategies to teach to all of the intelligences is a task I look forward to.
