MI in the Classroom

From Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom by Thomas Armstrong

Planning units for students who learn uniquely, I sometimes like to plan units using a grid, crossing Gardner's List of Multiple Intelligences with Bloom's Taxonomy. That way, I can be more assured of giving a variety of activities to reach all learners, yet drawing them to higher levels of thinking. All learners should be given opportunities to think critically. This method of unit planning also helps to reduce the tendency to rely on textbook and worksheet assignments only.

Mind map of the concept of mind mapping! It has been adapted from a mind map produced by Tony Buzan, the person credited with much of the promotion of mind mapping as a learning and thinking tool. For a full explanation of the mind mapping technique see Buzan, T. (1991). The mind map book . New York: Penguin.
