to focus or to scatter, that is my question...

i've started obbserving with a teacher that is BIG into multiple intellegences and he doesn't plan to do much note taking type classes with his class and then i will take the reigns and i have been predominantly a lecture with a few side activities to highlight other "intellegences" but if you aren't able to follow the main theory push in the beginning then how effective will the activities be? so here is my delemia, to continue in my tried and true method that focuses energy on the traditional method that most students have been taught in or do i diversify so that everyone get a little bit, but will that little bit be enough to sustain the learning? if i focus i know that i will miss some students but i will hit a good % and i know that those will get enough out of my classroom antics to learn, i only have to do additional help for the other "intellegences" at other times.
