Learning Styles• There are 7 dominant ways that people learn. You may

already know about them, but since people’s learning styles change during the teen years, we are going to take a survey to find out what your best learning styles are right now.

• This information is very helpful to have. It can tell you what you can do to be more successful at school and it can help you understand why some things are very hard for you, while other things are easy.

• This knowledge can also make you better at working with other people. If you understand how they communicate and process information, you will get along better. This makes your life easier.

The 7 Learning StylesAKA: Multiple Intelligences

1. Linguistic: Words!2. Logical – Mathematical: Numbers and Logic3. Musical: Music and rhythm 4. Body - Kinesthetic: Movement/ Hands On5. Spatial – Visual: Pictures and Images6. Interpersonal (Groups): Talking7. Intrapersonal (Alone): Individual Contemplation

Learning Styles/Multiple Intelligences Survey:

1. Read the statement on the handout.2. Decide how true it is for you:

1 = Mostly Disagree, 2 = Slightly Disagree, 3 = Slightly Agree, 4 = Mostly Agree

3. Mark your answer in the white box on your answer grid.4. Add up the columns and record your totals.5. Look at the totals and find out which ones have the highest

score. The 1 or 2 Intelligences that have the highest scores are the main ways you learn.

6. Read the description of your learning style(s) on the handout.7. Chart your answer on the graph on the back of the paper.

Get a 3X5 card• Print your first name

(that you want to be called) on the front of this card very big and very neat.

• Draw a border around your name in the color that matches your highest learning style.

• If you have a tie in the top 2, make a double border in two colors

Mary

Back- leave this blank

• How should the following learners study to be the MOST successful at learning new information:– Linguistic– Logical - Mathematical– Musical– Body - Kinesthetic– Spatial - Visual– Interpersonal (Groups)– Intrapersonal (Alone)

When we take notes in this class, we will be using different techniques that support the different learning styles. Sometimes these techniques will match your learning style and they will be really easy and helpful.

Sometimes these techniques will be for a learning style you don’t do well, and they will be difficult. In this case, do your best. When you do difficult things, you are growing your brain!

Discuss the answer to this question with your partner.Write down your answers on your answer sheet so you are ready when I

call on you.

Remember: Look, Lean, Listen, Lower your Voice

Now share what you have learned about yourself…

• What happens when an Interpersonal learner and an Intrapersonal learner have to work together?

• What happens when a Linguistic person has to explain something to a Visual- Spatial person?

• What happens when a Kinesthetic learner has to take a long multiple choice test?

• Why would it be important to know this?

• Do not bring your books to school. We have a class set.

activities and classwork. You get points for staying focused and on task.

• You cannot make up these points either.

90% of the grade in this class is based on what you have shown me you have learned.

This applies to both Content (like facts and vocabulary) and Skills (like writing and note

taking)

score of the two, even if it was on the first test.
