Reading Interest Inventory with Book Recommendations
This purchase includes a printable reading interest questionnaire that asks questions about favorite movies, favorite things do do in spare time, favorite animals, etc. There are many different interest inventories online and I've had students do a few of them.

Teaching style
I incorporate a variety of multimedia into my learning experiences. I strive to effectively present content in a way that benefits all learning styles. With each learning experience I create, I have the students in mind. Will they find the experience engaging? Will they learn the material? Will they be able to apply the learning?
