Chapter five of Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom explains how to integrate the multiple intelligences into a teacher's curriculum. There are direct examples for what a teacher could do with the intelligences, the eight of them being: linguistic, logical, spatial, bodily/kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. The chapter discusses methods for how to create a MI observant lesson. The chapter also suggests to focus on the subjective, ask yourself what you want to get out of it, consider how to carry it out, brainstorm the possibilities, select an appropriate plan, setup an alternative, and then implement the plan in the classroom. When a teacher has to teach a unit on a specific concept or unit, they should write out a graph with the objective in mind and areas for brainstorming ideas for all of the intelligences. This chapter was a perfect resource that taught me how to draft lessons. I really enjoyed the plethora of examples the chapter gave for each of the multiple intelligences. I will be able to tap into the intellectual abilities of my students. And although drafting effective MI units are difficult, the chapter provided me ways that it can become easier. This will help me because when I am finally a teacher, I will already be differentiating and drafting units according to the various multiple intelligences.
