MI Chapter 3: Describing Intelligences in Students

Chapter 3 of Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom gave a chart of the eight ways of learning. It specifically showed what children under each learning style thought, loved, and needed. I found this as a very useful source because it allowed me to imagine a specific student that would have each of these learning styles. For example, a spatial learner thinks with images and pictures, and loves to draw and doodle. As for a interpersonal learner they need friends and group games, and they love to be organized. Along with the chart describing the eight ways of learning, they also gave a Multiple Intelligences Checklist for Students. This allows students to check off specific characteristics that relate to them, permitting them to see what kind of learner they are.
