ASSIGNMENT

• 1.Look into the class that you teach and identify
  2 students in each of the 8 categories. What
  types of things should you do in your next
  teaching assignments to incorporate each of their
  learning styles?
• 2. Now for each of these 8 categories create an
  activity to match your lesson that will meet the
  needs of the two students of that learning style.
• State what your objective is then explain which
  intelligence you are trying to meet and then
  explain each activity and how it meets both the
  objective and the intelligence.
