Inspiration:
2 Make sure you can explain the typology and the differences of each type to anyone. Try to create examples. Recalling specific people might help.
3 Choose one pair of types. Using the printed material available, design several tasks on the same topic, with the same teaching objectives, but emphasising and respecting different learning style preferences.
