Hi Career Ed 8!

1. Open a blank Word document and type your name in a header (right justified).

2. In your regular text body, center a heading called Learning About Learning Styles. Make the text bold, italicized, and underlined.

3. In 1-2 paragraphs (left justified, Times New Roman, font size 12), describe what you know about your own learning style. Do you feel that you are stronger as an auditory learner than a visual learner? As a tactile/kinesthetic learner than an auditory learner? What leads you to believe these statements about your own personal learning style? For example, do you write things down frequently in your agenda in order to remember them (visual)? Would you retain information in class better by listening to the teacher and discussing with your peers (auditory) or by working on hands-on projects (tactile/kinesthetic)?

4. Make a prediction regarding the outcome of your learning styles test. Do you expect the results to show that you are stronger in one area? Which area(s)?

Test your learning style online here.

Some questions to answer after completing the test:

1. Are the results in line with your predictions?

2. What did your experience with the classroom activities (listening to the pancake recipe, reading the information about International Music Camp, and learning the dance to "Saturday Night" by doing and moving teach you about your learning style?

3. Based on your experience with both your school life and the activities from this class, rate your learning styles in order, #1-3: tactile/kinesthetic, visual, auditory.

Save your document with your last name and the title "Learning Styles" and submit to my drop box. Remember that I will discard anything that is improperly titled! Please give yourself credit (and make my job easier) by saving your work with your LAST NAME first. Thanks!
