Chapter six of Thomas Armstrong's Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom discusses teaching strategies for all of the intelligences. The chapter gives various ways of incorporating each intelligence by teaching lessons that involve them and different strategies that work. It is important to rotate and use every intelligence each day to ensure that all students are engaged and learning. For the linguistic intelligence, it is is recommended to use storytelling, brainstorming, tape recording, journal writing, and publishing. For logical intelligence you can use calculations, classifications, and scientific thinking. For spatial intelligences one could use visuals, color cues, and graphics. The bodily-kinesthetic intelligence can be catered to by using body answers, hands-on thinking, and body maps. For music, songs and discographies are useful. Interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligences are addressed through group work or individual work.
Our class really enjoyed this chapter. It is exciting to think about using these strategies in our own classrooms. We all realize that we will be working with students who are very different and we needs to find ways to accommodate to their learning styles. Some of the discussions in this chapter brought up many fond memories of our favorite classes in high school. This goes to show that the MI Theory is effective, and teachers that use it are the ones who will make a lasting impression.
This is a video from the old cartoon Animaniacs. It is to help memorize the Presidents and important historical events.

The video was really good. I also liked the second link and by just clicking around found some good resources.
Liz;
Looking forward to exploring the link on the writing as that is one area that we can all use a little assistance in that area.
The link about the overuse of linguistic intelligence was really interesting and it made a lot of sense good work
Liz,
I loved the video. It was funny and interesting and if I watched it a few times I could probably learn the lyrics and remember it for a long time. Great idea.
I really liked the first link that you posted. I found graphic organizers that will come in very useful since they are more than what we have seen so far
Liz, I really liked your video you had about the presidents. It was very entertaining.
I found a really cute 1st Grade page on your second link. Your video was obviously awesome too!
Liz
I like the first link that you gave. I think that it will have a lot of good sources in it.
I love the Animaniacs.
They were my favorite show when I was a wee lad.
Great use of a video and the links were great as well.
Keep up the good work.
really great job! your first link was very informative, and had a lot great resources!
I really like your first link. There is so much information about the intelligences and how to use them.
Liz,
That video was cool. I was a big fan of that show when I was a kid. I never really thought it could be a good educational source until now because of their clever songs and rhymes about a bunch of educational topics.
Liz-very good blog. I liked the video a lot and agree with you when you said its probably the most you will remember about the presidents. Nice work!
I really enjoyed the video. Coming from someone who is not good at history at all, a video like that would help me a lot to understand the material and be able to remeber it because it was so ridiculous. Finding materials such as that video will help students not only to retain the information but maybe, just maybe they can have fun too.
