MI Chapter 5: MI and Curriculum Development

Chapter five suggests ways to design curriculum that will activate all eight of the students’ intelligences. Suggestions on how to do this include, thematic learning and a seven step lesson plan procedure. The thematic instruction suggests coming up with a theme that can be taught differently to students using each of the eight different intelligences. Using the eight intelligences in creating lesson plans will mean that my lessons help students develop intelligences that are underdeveloped. It will also help them understand the concept in a way that works for them. The idea is to help as many students as possible learn the content to the best of their ability.
