This chapter makes the argument that standing in front of the classroom lecturing students isn’t the best way to teach for all students. Because each student has different strengths in different intelligence areas, lectures are not the most effective teaching method for all students. They can still be used and be purposeful for some students, but other students need other strategies to meet their intelligences. This chapter lists various other teaching approaches that will meet their intelligences, such as kinesthetic or logical methods. It also suggested a good way for brainstorming activities that meet each of the intelligences for a unit. This brainstorming idea seems really simple but really powerful, and I definitely think that I will use it in my classroom to vary the intelligences that my lessons meet. The chapter provides a sort of database for different activities and it will be helpful to refer back to it when I am planning my lessons in the future.
