MI Chapter 7

This chapter dealt mostly with the different types of activities stations a teacher could set up in their classroom for all eight of the intelligences. The activity station that I found the most interesting was the “Temporary Topic-Specific Activity Centers.” These seemed the most reasonable to implement in a classroom and the most fun from a student’s standpoint. The idea of taking a lesson and breaking it down into eight activities for the intelligences so that each student can learn through their best method seems perfect. The only issue is that every time a teacher does something like this, the students gravitate to the same station every time. I like the idea of making the students rotate through the stations. I do not think I would use this as an everyday activity, but instead as like a reward for the class. I would have loved to do different activities like the ones mentioned in the chapter. By making it a treat and not an everyday thing, students may actually appreciate the tasks that much more.
