2. What are Learning Styles? Information enters your brain three main ways: sight, hearing and touch, which one you use the most is called your Learning Style  Visual Learners learn by sight  Auditory Learners learn by hearing  Tactile Learners (kinesthetic) learn by touch Information enters your brain three main ways: sight, hearing and touch, which one you use the most is called your Learning Style  Visual Learners learn by sight  Auditory Learners learn by hearing  Tactile Learners (kinesthetic) learn by touch

3. In your Journal  Write down what your learning style is.  Make sure to put today’s date at the top of the page.  Label your page, MY LEARNING!  When I go over your learning style, write 3 things that pertain to your style.  Write down what your learning style is.  Make sure to put today’s date at the top of the page.  Label your page, MY LEARNING!  When I go over your learning style, write 3 things that pertain to your style.

4. Visual Learners  Prefer to see information such as pictures, diagrams, cartoons, demonstrations  Picture words and concepts they hear as images  Easily distracted in lecture with no visual aids  Overwhelmed with intense visuals accompanied by lecture  Benefit from using charts, maps, notes, and flash cards when studying  Prefer to see information such as pictures, diagrams, cartoons, demonstrations  Picture words and concepts they hear as images  Easily distracted in lecture with no visual aids  Overwhelmed with intense visuals accompanied by lecture  Benefit from using charts, maps, notes, and flash cards when studying

5. Auditory Learners  Prefer to hear information spoken  Can absorb a lecture with little effort  May not need careful notes to learn.  Often avoid eye contact in order to concentrate  May read aloud to themselves  Like background music when they study  Prefer to hear information spoken  Can absorb a lecture with little effort  May not need careful notes to learn.  Often avoid eye contact in order to concentrate  May read aloud to themselves  Like background music when they study

6. Tactile or Kinesthetic Learners  Prefer touch as their primary mode for taking in information  In traditional lecture situations, they should write out important facts  Create study sheets connected to vivid examples  Role-playing can help them learn and remember important ideas  May benefit by using manipulatives  Prefer touch as their primary mode for taking in information  In traditional lecture situations, they should write out important facts  Create study sheets connected to vivid examples  Role-playing can help them learn and remember important ideas  May benefit by using manipulatives Okay, I get it now.

7. Your Intelligence Profile created by Howard Gardner  A theory of “ multiple intelligences, ” suggesting abilities seem to cluster in eight different areas:  Verbal-Linguistic Skills  Logical-Mathematical Skills  Bodily-Kinesthetic Skills  Visual-Spatial Skills  Interpersonal Abilities  Intrapersonal Abilities  Musical Abilities  Naturalistic Abilities  A theory of “ multiple intelligences, ” suggesting abilities seem to cluster in eight different areas:  Verbal-Linguistic Skills  Logical-Mathematical Skills  Bodily-Kinesthetic Skills  Visual-Spatial Skills  Interpersonal Abilities  Intrapersonal Abilities  Musical Abilities  Naturalistic Abilities

8. Multiple Intelligence  Draw a line across the page and label it My Multiple Intelligence.  Write down your top 3 multiple intelligence. Number 1-3 under each one  Write down 3 things I go over that pertain to your Multiple Intelligence.  Draw a line across the page and label it My Multiple Intelligence.  Write down your top 3 multiple intelligence. Number 1-3 under each one  Write down 3 things I go over that pertain to your Multiple Intelligence.
