Chapter 7 MI: MI Theory and the Classroom Environment

In order for MI theory to work at its full capacity, the classroom environment needs to be able to reach each of those multiple intelligences. This chapter discusses the different ways to set up the classroom in order for the different intelligences to be comfortable. While I was reading this, it made me think of my combined three/four class. In this class we had many different places to go, if we wanted to work a certain way. After the lesson was taught, we had the option to work alone at our desks, to go to the listening table and talk about the lesson with the rest of our classmates. There were also areas where we could listen to music, and just relax and take in the information we had just learned. While I am in the classroom, I will be sure to provide a different kind of setting for the students to be able to receive the environment they need to learn best.
