Multiple Intelligences, Chapter 8

Abstract:
This chapter focused on classroom management as applied to the eight intelligences. The focuses include: gaining the attention and/or control of a classroom, disciplining students, transitioning between lessons and activities, creating groups and the effective implementation of class rules. It gives examples of how to cater to each intelligence, from using a low voice to playing a key on the piano.

Reflection:
This chapter outfitted us with many new ways of controlling a classroom in a way that is effective and applicable to different intelligences. Because many of us are very strong in only one or two of the intelligences we do not know a great deal about those that we do not embody in a significant way. This chapter helped by giving us several new ways of approaching multiple situations and the multiple intelligences.
