Chapter one of Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom depicted the cognitive theory of multiple intelligences, which describe how individuals use their intelligence(s) to solve problems and how the brain perceives the contents of the world. The most important message underlying this chapter, I believe, is that Gardner labels the categories of learning as "intelligences" because he believes society puts one emphasis on a particular variety. However, each multiple intelligence is interconnected to the other. Therefore, educators should aim to incorporate all intelligences into their curriculum to ensure that every student has a fair chance of succeeding. Similar to the readings from Fires in the Bathroom, giving the students a fair chance is a necessary tool I will implement in the classroom to gain my students' respect, trust, and attention. I do not want to force any student to mask their dominant intelligence and use their secondary intelligence. I want to see the student's strengths and weaknesses, so when I use every intelligence in the classroom, I can assist the child in further developing his/her strength while managing to improve their weaknesses.
