Ms Adams’ class Week 2 Introduction

“Success is not for the lazy.” Bellringer “Success is not for the lazy.” Write one well developed PARAGRAPH ABOUT HOW THIS STATEMENT APPLIES TO YOU AND YOUR WORK ETHIC FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR. Remember – a well developed paragraph will have a thesis statement, supporting sentences and conclusion sentence. It will be at least 5 sentences long. For those of you who do not know the meaning of the word ethic. Merriam- Webster dictionary defines the word ethic as ‘a belief that something is very important’

Results of Learning styles inventory Look at the top of your learning styles papers. You should have three (3) scores. Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic. The score with the highest number of points is the way you learn the best usually. Your second highest score will be the way you can also learn effectively. We will go over some characteristics of each style now so locate your score, note which is highest and plan to make notes on your individual learning style.

Results of Learning styles inventory You are now going to calculate your learning styles inventory scores. In the upper right corner of your paper Make space for 3 scores V____ A____ and K____ Count all the ORANGE marks on your paper. Write this number next to the V Count all the Pink marks on your paper. Write this number next to the A Count all the yellow marks on your paper. Write this number next to the K You should have three (3) scores. Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic. The score with the highest number of points is the way you learn the best usually. Your second highest score will be the way you can also learn effectively. We will go over some characteristics of each style now so locate your score, note which is highest and plan to make notes on your individual learning style.

Characteristics of a visual learner Learn best by seeing information Can easily recall printed information in the form of numbers, words, phrases, or sentences Can easily understand and recall information presented in pictures, charts, or diagrams Have strong visualization skills and can look up (often up to the left) and “see” information Can make “movies in their minds” of information they are reading Have strong visual-spatial skills that involve sizes, shapes, textures, angles and dimensions Pay close attention and learn to interpret body language (facial expressions, eyes, stance) Have keen awareness of aesthetics, the beauty of the physical environment, and visual media

Characteristics of a Auditory learner Learn best by hearing information Can accurately remember details of information heard in conversations or lectures Have strong language skills that include well-developed vocabularies and appreciation of words Have strong oral communication skills that enable them to carry on conversations and be articulate Have “finely tuned ears” and may find learning a foreign language relatively easy Hear tones, rhythms, and notes of music and often have exceptional musical talents

Characteristics of a kinesthetic learner Learn best by using their hands (“Hands-on” learning) or by full body movement Learn best by doing Learn well in activities that involve performing (athletes, actors, dancers) Work well with their hands in areas such as repair work, sculpting, art, or working with tools Are well-coordinated with a strong sense of timing and body movements Often wiggle, tap their feet, or move their legs when they sit Often were labeled as “hyperactive”

Sooooooo……… Now that we know the characteristics of each learning style let’s look at some ways to study by using this information.

Visual Learners Create stronger visual memories of printed materials by highlighting important ideas with different colors of highlighters or by highlighting specific letters in spelling words or formulas or equations in math. Take time to visualize pictures, charts, graphs, or printed information and take time to practice recalling visual memories when you study. Create “movies in your mind” of information that you read; use your visual memory as a television screen with the information moving across the screen. Use visual study tools such as visual mappings, hierarchies, comparison charts, and time lines to represent information you are studying. Expand chapter mappings or create your own chapter mappings to review main ideas and important details in chapters. Add colors and/or shapes or pictures. Enhance your notes, flash cards, or any other study tools by adding colors and pictures (sketches, cartoons, stick figures). Color-code study tools. (Different colors imprint into memory more easily for some students.) Colors can be used to accentuate specific parts of textbooks, notes, or any written materials you work with or you have created. Copy information in your own handwriting if seeing information on paper in your own hand-writing helps you learn and remember more easily. Practice visualizing what you write. Use your keen observational skills to observe people and pick up on clues they may give about important information, emotions, or their general state of being. Always be prepared with a pen and notepaper (or a small notepad) to write down information or directions. (Written information is easier to recall more accurately.)

Auditory Learners Talk out loud to explain new information, express your ideas, practice information you are studying, or paraphrase another speaker. Recite frequently while you study. Reciting involves speaking out loud in complete sentences and in your own words. Read out loud. (Reading out loud often increases a person’s comprehension or clarifies confusing information that is read silently.) Work with tutors, with a “study buddy,” or in a study group to have ample opportunity to ask questions, articulate answers, and express your understanding of information orally. For lectures, take your own notes, but back your notes up with a tape-recorded version of the lecture. (Request approval first from the instructor.) Review only the parts of the lecture that are unclear or confusing. When you practice reciting your notes, flash cards, study tools or information from a textbook, turn on a tape recorder. Tapes made in your own voice often become valuable review tools. Verbally explain information or processes to someone or to an imaginary person. Explaining verbally provides immediate feedback of your level of understanding. Make review tapes to review the most important information (rules, definitions, formulas, lists of information, dates, or other factual information) prior to a test. Create rhymes, jingles, or songs to help you remember specific facts. Read confusing information using exaggerated expression. The natural rhythm and patters of your voice often group information in such a way that it becomes easier to understand. Use computerized technology (electronic spell checkers, calculators with a “voice,” speech synthesizers on computers) to help with the learning process. Access CD-ROM programs and multimedia software that provide auditory and visual stimuli for learning.

Kinesthetic Learners Handle objects, tools, or machinery that you are trying to learn. For example, handle the rocks you study in geology, repeat applications several times on a computer, or hold and use tools or parts of machinery that are discussed in class or in your textbook. Create manipulatives (study tools that you can move around with your hands). These may include flash cards or cards that can be shuffled, spread out, sorted, or stacked as a way to categorize information. Cut charts or diagrams apart; reassemble them in their correct order. Use exaggerated movements and hand expressions, drama, dance, pantomime, or role playing to assist the development of long-term memory. Muscles also hold memory, so involving movement in the learning process creates muscle memory. Type or use a word processor. Using a keyboard involves fine motor skills and muscle memory; it may be easier to remember information that you typed or entered into a computer. Talk and walk as you recite or practice information. Pacing or walking with study materials in hands helps some people process information more naturally. Work at a chalkboard, with a flip chart, or on large poster paper to create study tools. List, draw, practice, or write information while you stand up and work on a larger surface. Learn by doing. Use every opportunity possible to move as you study. For example, if you are studying perimeters in math, tape off an area of a room and walk the perimeter.

TIME FOR A BRAIN BREAK!!!!

AS I HAVE INDICATED WE WILL BE DOING A GREAT DEAL OF WORK IN THIS CLASS. TO HELP YOU WITH THIS I HAVE PREPARED THE FOLLOWING SLIDES. PLEASE CONSIDER THE INFORMATION PRESENTED CLOSELY!

Note Taking Method 1: Cornell Notes As you take notes from the lecture, remember to be selective in the points you choose and skip a line between each point. You may have a question or concern about one of the points being made – record these questions to the left of the corresponding notes in section 2 VERY VERY IMPORTANT: Review your notes immediately after class. Pick a new color of in and rewrite the main ideas either in section 3 or in section 2 (its up to you). You can also under line, highlight or even draw illustrations. FINALLY: in section 4 summarize all of the material including your questions taking into consideration he following: What’s the significance of this information/ Is this material based on certain theories or principles? Does it relate to other materials I have read/covered in this class? How can I apply this information? How does it fit in with what I already know?

Note Taking Method 2: Write then organize

Note Taking Method 3: Mind Map method This method is great for visual learners Include additional colors if needed Add page numbers to create a title page later
