Chapter 4 MI: Teaching Students about MI Theory

This fourth chapter, I found to be very interesting. Since, when I was in elementary school, the MI theory had not really been very developed, I was never really taught about it. When it came time for middle school and high school, it didn’t really matter whether or not you knew which way you learned, you just had to do the work, and it was through the everyday lecture and homework, with the occasional project thrown in there. However, while I was reading this and I learned that the MI Theory is something that can be taught to kids as young as 5, I got kind of angry reading that. Because, I feel I wasn’t provided with a good enough education. That maybe, I would have been an even better learner had I know exactly how I learned. When I get into the classroom, despite the grade level that I teach, I will make sure each of my students know what kind of learner they are. Along with that, I am also going to do the posters of famous people who are one of each 8 learning styles. Also, I may make a MI pizza and put each of my student's names in it next to their style.
