Abstract-
This chapter focuses mainly on the observation of multiple intelligences in students. It gave the reader helpful forms of assessing the different intelligences in children, and also how to teach in such a way as to maximize each students learning potential. The chapter gives us methods such as obtaining previous teacher observations, parental observations, and also ones own observations to evaluate the different intelligences of a student.
Reflection-
The chapter helped the reader to realize that there are many more than just one way to assess a students multiple intelligences, and the chapter also laid out many methods to find out what intelligences a student has. The authors gave the reader a very large amount of detail, helping the reader to really understand the methods given.

Multiple Intelligence Chapter 4 Abstract and Reflection
Brief Abstract of Chapter 4
This chapter is about teaching the eight multiple intelligences to students in such a way that they are able to understand each intelligence and its importance. There are different activities and methods that can be used to teach students about the intelligences and how to recognize them within themselves. These activities will give the students the knowlege they need to be able to talk about how they learn.
Reflection
This chapter gave many great methods and activities that help to teach the concept of the multiple intelligences for younger students. The chapter didn't give age appropriate activities for students at the middle or high school levels.

Multiple Intelligence, Chapter two abstract and reflection
Give a Brief Abstract of the Chapter-
This chapter focused on the fact that each individual has his an her own different strong and weak intelligences, and also that the teacher must realize that all of their students are very diverse with regards to the eight intelligences. This chapter also discusses what has effects on the development of the intelligences. Mainly, the chapter gives the reader the knowledge of how the eight intelligences work in students, and also in ourselves.
Reaction to the Chapter-
We thought that the chapter was helpful because it corresponded to the units we did in class with regards to trying to understand our own level of intelligence in each of the eight categories. We also believe that this chapter stresses the need for teachers to incorporate all of the intelligences into the curriculum to create an environment in which it is easy for all of the students in the class to learn and where non-traditional intelligences are not seen as a set back.

Multiple Intellicences Chapter 1 Abstract and Reflection
Brief Abstract of Chapter
This chapter discussed the Multiple Intelligence Theory developed by Howard Gardner. The chapter lists the eight intelligences and a description of each in great detail. The chapter points out that some people may be overdeveloped in certain areas of intelligence and underdeveloped in others, which a great example of these people are Savants. The author also proposes the idea that everyone has the capacity of all intelligences but some are more predominant than others.
Reflection
As a group we agree that there are different intelligencs. We have learned that our different intelligences determine our learning styles. This learning style determine how we learn, internalize, and apply the information we are given. Thses different intelligences need to be recognized in the classroom in order to prepare lesson plans that will help students be more successful in understanding class material with their personal learnign style.
