I really appreciated the overview of right vs left hemisphere learners. I will definitely use the Take a Stand and Traveling Talk activities and utilize them in my AP classroom.

Some of the data is old and outdated; much time is spent on reviewing types of hemispheres and multi-modal learning but I would prefer more time spent on activity examples.
