Chapter 5, MI

Summary:
Chapter five is based on developing curriculum around the several different intelligences so that students are able to learn in their own comfort areas. It details how once can be an effective teacher as long as one keeps in mind that all students learn differently and adjusts accordingly to that through differentiated instruction and presentation. Rather than lecturing the entire period they should try something that caters to the needs of those students who are not linguistic learners and perhaps use music to drawn the point or some other medium. The chapter offers materials to assist the aspiring teacher in developing effective lessons for all kinds of learners.

Reflection:
It was discovered across the board that this chapter was very helpful for all of us. Using thematic instruction was an excellent way of showing just how we can teach cross-content. There were several examples in the chapter we agreed would be rather fruitful, such as figure 5.4. This chapter helped us realize how we can answer the student's ever-applicable question, "How does this relate to anything else I'm learning in any of my other classes?" The answer would be simple here, teach similar concepts together.
