Week 9 Reflections

It's hard to believe that 9 weeks have passed so quickly! This week I've been awfully busy, yet somehow I managed to read the assigned material and complete the tasks. I revised the final Project Plan report in the light of Haggag's suggestions. I feel satisfied when I look at the final version of the Project Plan Report.

This week's reading material about learning styles in general and Multiple Intelligence in particular has been really informative and useful! It triggered further reading and I found some excellent resources on MI. Here is a useful resource that charts activities according to the students' intelligences. I think it can help us in writing Objectives and planning lessons.
