MI: Chapter 7

This chapter begins by getting the reader to question if each intelligence is incorporated into the classroom. This is not in the normal sense that the book has been discussing, it's more questions about the classrooms atmosphere. I never thought of the classrooms atmosphere being based around the multiple intelligences, but the chapter provides interesting questions that I would probably never think to ask myself, especially not in the context of MI. The chapter goes on to explain a solution as to incorporating MI into the classroom atmosphere by providing designated centers for each intelligence. The organization of the room and where the students can get their resources and tools are important to the classroom atmosphere as a whole. There could be a reading nook with bookshelves, an area used as a stage to present and act on certain occasions. There are ideas for different activities relating to these different areas in the room. This chapter really helped me to understand that the classroom itself can be used as a tool to incorporate MI and activities that follow it.
