Chapter 5: MI Theory and Curriculum and Development

In chapter 5 “MI Theory and Curriculum and Development” Armstrong touches on the historical background of multimodal teaching and how themes impact the classroom. Even though all that is important the biggest thing that I took from the chapter was the comparison between a traditional classroom and a MI classroom. This comparison, traditional with the lectures, writing notes on the board, and MI with shifting the method of presentation and combining intelligences is what I found important. I am going to keep this comparison in mind when I am making lesson plans for my kids, and I feel that it will show in my student’s willingness to learn.
