Chapter 6

Abstract:
This chapter gave 40 total teaching strategies, 5 for each eight of the intelligences. The strategies are pretty general and can be used in most classrooms is they are adjusted to the skill level of the students. It is important to use a variety of teaching strategies that will keep the students interested and help them remember the material for a long period of time. Linguistic had examples like brainstorming, story telling, and journal writing. Bodily Kinesthetic gave examples like body answers, classroom theatre and hands on thinking. The list for strategies in each intelligence goes on and descrives specific ways to incorperate them in our every day instruction.

Reaction:
All of us liked this chapter because it gave us ideas of ways that we might be able to incorperate the intelligences into our classes. All of us felt we would use several of the strategies in our classrooms. Katie thought she would gravitate toward the boldily and naturalist activities but after reading this chapter she thinks she would be more likely and capable of incorperating all of the intelligences without struggling. Katie liked how some of these strategies seemed simple but could make a world of difference to the student. Everyone liked how these examples have us strategies we could use in the intelligences we were not strong at, Tyler in particular.
