MI Chapter 7

Abstract
This chapter focused on multiple intelligences and the classroom environment. Getting to know your students’ multiple intelligences, and just the fact that there are multiple intelligences, helps determine the kind of classroom environment you as a teacher need to create. Things such as MI activity centers, topic-specific activity centers, and open-ended security centers could be helpful with this.

Reflection
We all found this chapter to be very interesting because we have yet to cover it in depth in class. One of the ideas we really liked were the activity centers. They seem like a creative way for the students to get the work done the way they like, and also a good way for you to see what their “strengths” are. Our concern with this type of activity is that students will go to centers because their friends are there rather because it caters to their multiple intelligences.
