This chapter seeks to incorporate Bloom's Taxonomy of learning into Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences. It discusses eight types of intelligences and provides examples of lesson planning and assessment that engage higher-order thinking across different intelligences. The chapter emphasizes using multiple intelligence activities to promote critical thinking, not just as fun exercises. It also introduces the concept of "Blardner" which combines the work of Bloom and Gardner into a single framework for instruction.

8. “If you keep your eye on the big ideas and focus
primarily on higher order thinking, there is no
reason to eliminate fun from your classroom
because of new assessments”(103).
So instead of using multiple intelligences activities
as simply fun activities to interest students, they
must also include higher order and critical
thinking.
