An Island Like You Lesson

Drawing from the model that I provided in class during our first session, from your own experiences, and/or from Burke’s book (particularly pages 249-259), create an interactive mini-lesson demonstrating your familiarity with the theory of multiple intelligences, particularly the domains of Visual-Spatial, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Musical, or Natural (Highlight one domain to draw upon for your lesson).
