chapter 5

absract:
Use multiple ways of teaching, it's important that we don't look at our lessons ina short sided manner. nstead of just writing ona blackboard, draw to bring understandings. Play music, do things tht are hands on. We as teachers really need to strech out our borders so that we can encumpas all of our students in our lessons. Some of the ideas for each intelligence are as follows:
Linguistic: Lecture, Discussion, journalling
Logical: socratic questioning, scientific thinking.
Spatial: Idea sketching, color cues.
Kinisthetic: hands on, class theatre, body maps, body answers.
music: musical concepts, mood music, "super memory" music.
Interpersonal: co'op groups, board games, peer sharing, simulations.
intrapersonal: goal setting, choice time, personal connections.
Naturalist: nature walks, ecostudy, plants as props.
The the chapter listed the 7 steps to organize
1. focus on a specific objective 2. ask key MI questions 3. consider possibilities 4. brainstorm 5. select appropriate activities 6. set up a sequential plan 7. implement the plan
reflection:
We all liked how there were a lot of lists showing different ways to teach. But that brought up another problem... there are so many ways to teach. Now it's easier to understand putting them all into a lesson plan, or at least some of them, but the whole idea of focusing on each intelligence seems a bit overwhelming. It really takes a lot of thought to put together a good lesson plan that will involve all of the kids.
