Learning+Style+Essay

  Kimberly Berlow 9-14-11     Humanities 6-C      Learning style essay Everyone has a different learning style, my learning style is that I like to work with the lights off and the room being quiet. A learning style is like a way people like to learn. Everybody has a learning style, and a way they learn best. Some people like to learning with the lights on and other people like learning with the lights off. I would much rather the room to be quiet and the light to be off. Also I would prefer to be having a snack and a drink while either working alone or with a partner. I would also prefer either sitting on a pillow on the floor or sitting in a chair at a desk. I would also prefer to be near a cozy lamp but like a couple of inches away. This information is all 100% true. I really prefer the room to be a little hot and mostly cold. I also like to move my body because when I am still for a long period of time my body will start to get a little sore. I also like to read silently because I prefer reading to myself. I also have frequent moment and frequent breaks. I am both visual and auditory but Im mostly visual because I mostly need to see something to memorize it. I have much inner motivation because I like to work, and I don’t need someone to give me a prize to tell me im doing a good job. I can’t work well in a room with lights on. I also can’t work if the room is very noisy it will start to distract me. I feel uncomfortable sitting on the floor without a pillow. I can’t read in a noisy room either and I can’t sit still because it will start to hurt me. I don’t like working in a big group, I like working either alone or with 1 person only. I can’t work without a drink and a snack. Also it’s hard to work without taking at least 1 minute breaks. I feel really comfortable sitting in a chair or on a pillow on the floor. I can’t listen to music while working because when I do it will keep me off track. For example if I listen to music while I work on a sheet or something else I will get easily distracted. For example, I would love to be in a seat or on a pillow on the floor with the lights off. Also I would like the room to be silent and very quiet. I would prefer to be having a snack and a drink while working. If the lights are on it will be too bright to focus and I’ll get a little distracted. Im fine with working with only 1 person because if there is more I’ll get very distracted. I would love to work on a computer but writing is also fine. I think the learning style test was wrong. I didn’t agree when it said that I work better alone than with a partner because I work better both ways. I don’t mind working with a partner I just work better both ways. Also I don’t agree with the test because the test said that I like to sit still but that’s not true. It’s not true because I always have frequent movement and I have a lot of breaks. I like to work during the day like in the late morning and in the afternoon I don’t like working in the early morning, that’s what the test said. Those are reasons why I think the test was wrong. I think learning styles are very important because it helps kids learn better if they are comfortable. Also it helps kids from getting distracted. For example if someone’s learning style is that they like the room quiet and it’s loud it can easily distracted them. My learning style is that I like the lights off and the room to be quiet in order for me to learn better and focus more. So if kids keep on getting distracted they’re going to not pay attention to what’s really important during class.
