poem through all

the three learning

styles.

How would it be?

Illustrate the poem and present it using

visual aids

VISUAL WAY

Recite the poem for the class and

make sound effects

AUDITORY WAY

Act out the poem to the

class

KINESTHETIC WAY

There isn´t a learning

style that is better

than the other. It´s

simply a brain

preference.
