I have been giving the students choice of some assignments and pacing, but now I have officially tried to incorporate the 3 major learning styles. (Yes, I know there are other learning modalities and sometimes those are addressed, but for now I am focusing on auditory, visual, and tactile.)
I am having the kids take a learning modalities quiz because lots of the students don't know how they learn. I eventually want to come up with a good title for each learning style, so that as the complete their quests they are part of a guild based on their learning modality.

Task 2
1. Write an analogy for the parts of a cell membrane in Book Creator.
The phospholipid bilayer is like ________________________ and the membrane proteins are like __________________________because they ___________________________.
2. Share your analogy with 2 other people in class.
Auditory: share your analogy and explain it to another auditory learner; record you explanation and include it in your book creator
Visual: illustrate your analogy in your Cj; include a pic. in your book creator
Tactile: construct a small model of the cell membrane
I have been addressing the modalities in Silver already, but wanted to do a better job in Bronze during knowledge acquisition.
