MI Chapter 4: Teaching Students about MI Theory

Chapter 4 focused on how a teacher goes about teaching their own students about the eight multiple intelligences. The first way the chapter said to go about defining it was by just directly stating what it exactly meant. Another way was to visually show them using a pie chart. For example instead of saying someone could be an interpersonal learner, they said "people smart." This is more comprehensible to students. The chapter also gave many activities for teaching the MI theory. One that I found interesting was the "Career Day" activity. This allowed students to see how different people used the different intelligences for their jobs.
