Chapter 7: MI Theory and the Classroom Environment

Chapter 7, MI Theory and the Classroom Environment, talks about how to make the classroom the most compatible to each of the eight intelligence types. There were two ideas in this section that I never considered before. One was under the Musical intelligence, and it asks the reader if the auditory environment promote learning. I had never even considered that little noises would bother someone, but thinking about it someone who is extremely sensitive to noise would be bothered. The other idea was under the Natural section. It asked “are students given an opportunity to do some of their learning outside of the school building in natural settings..”? Because this book brought this to my attention as something that natural learners need I will always be thinking about ways to incorporate the outdoors into lessons.
