In Chapter 6 of MI, Armstrong went into intricate details of incorporating all the eight intelligences into the school. He believes that as long as the educator is able to shift intelligence emphasis from one exercise to the next each student will have their own time in the day where their strongest intelligence shows up. Thinking as a future teacher, I thought of ways I could use each strategy but then thought more elaborately about those that stood out to me. I found the storytelling method in linguistic to very intriguing. It is always fun to listen to a story, as an educator I could incorporate storytelling into my lessons to help students develop a better understanding for the topic being discussed. I also found the Publishing idea quite interesting. Students sometimes do not take writing assignments seriously because they think nothing will come of it. As a teacher I could surprise my students by telling them their work could be published and put in a classroom book for future examples to make each of my students more enthusiastic about writing. As I looked at the logical/mathematical I found the section on calculations and quantifications to be eye-catching because it could relate to English by reading a short story or poem that has mathematical numbers and such incorporated. I could see how many students pick up on the numbers and then have a discussion about how numbers appear in everything. For those spatial learners I could certainly incorporate colors and drawings into my discussion on the board to keep their attention. As for bodily-kinesthetic I really enjoyed the idea of having my students put up a finger of the how much they comprehend 1 being nothing to 5 being all of it. I did this for each of the eight because it was interesting to see how I could incorporate every idea into my classroom.
