Goal: I think it is very important for students to discover how they learn best. Sometimes when we learn we are unaware of what we are doing, we are not thinking about thinking (meta-cognition). I feel that in order to help students to reach their maximum potential I first need to help them understand which learning style they best identify with. Once we figure that out I will provide study suggestions and tips for each type of learning style.
Background Information: There are three different learning styles- Auditory, Visual, and Kinesthetic.
Assignment: Visit this webpage and take the "What's your learning style" self-assessment. After taking the assessment your results will be shown. Record your learning style on your handout given in class. View the given tips for your learning style on the website and on the classroom bulletin board. Answer the questions on the handout and turn it in to Mrs. A.
Remember that there is no guarantee that your given learning style is really the best way for you to learn. Your result is given based on how you answer the questions. Suggestions are given but might not apply or work for you. You may benefit from identifying with a specific learning style.
***Note: 7th grade social studies classes you only have to do questions 1-4 for homework on the handout given to you in class. On Wednesday you will have class time to do 5 and 6. If you want you can complete 5 and 6 before Wednesday's class.
