Good morning ladies and gentlemen! We have been talking about geography

Multiple Intelligences/Learning Styles:

Interpersonal- The students will be working with me and the other students
and talking to both to make sure they are following along and understanding
what to do.
Intrapersonal- It will be up to the students to decide how they want to
present and design their project.
Visual Spatial- The students will create their own design for each theme.
They will have to visualize what they will put on each one.
