MI Chapter 2

Chapter two explains that it is important for a teacher to understand their own intelligences. I plan on filling out the inventory in the book, although I think that I know which of my intelligences are more developed than the other. I’ve gotten ideas from this chapter to help me find ways to keep all eight intelligences in the classroom, even though certain ones may be more undeveloped for myself. Crystallizing and paralyzing events were explained, and I myself have had a paralyzing event in which a creative writing teacher negatively critiqued a story of mine. Up until a couple of years ago, I had stopped writing fiction all together. As I continue to work towards becoming a teacher, I hope to more fully develop each of my eight intelligences so that I can help a wider range of individuals and learning styles.
