How Do You Learn Best (Week 1: Learning Style / L-R Brain / Typing Test)

Today you will learn about HOW YOU LEARN BEST! Please follow the directions below to complete a series of survey's that will give you some insight on your Learning Styles, your Left/Right Brain Dominance, and a Typing Test. You may choose to watch the videos associated with each survey (with headphones only), or just complete the surveys themselves. Please fill out the form in class.  Make sure you talk to your parents about what you are doing in our class! Make sure to complete both for credit.

Use the link below to open a copy of the Self-Assessment Survey Results Worksheet.  Make sure to click File and Make A Copy.  Rename the sheet "(Last Name) P (?) CSA Personal Inventory Survey Results Worksheet", and SHARE it with Mr. S (hscribner@ccs.us) for credit right away.  This worksheet should also be stored in your CEW Folder on your Google Drive.


Below are the assessments you should complete, and enter the results on your Google Document. Make sure to SHARE the document for credit!

1. LEARNING STYLES: Many people recognize that each person prefers different learning styles and techniques. Learning styles group common ways that people learn. Everyone has a mix of learning styles. Some people may find that they have a dominant style of learning, with far less use of the other styles. Others may find that they use different styles in different circumstances. There is no right mix. Nor are your styles fixed. You can develop ability in less dominant styles, as well as further develop styles that you already use well.
Please watch the Video (Click Here) and take the Inventory below.  Record you answers on the form and then enter them in the ONLINE SURVEY for credit.


2. LEFT/RIGHT BRAIN DOMINANCE: According to the theory of left-brain or right-brain dominance, each side of the brain controls different types of thinking. Additionally, people are said to prefer one type of thinking over the other. For example, a person who is "left-brained" is often said to be more logical, analytical, and objective. Watch the video below and take the survey. Record your answers on the paper and then enter them on the ONLINE SURVEY for credit  Watch the Video Here (Click) or  Explanation Video (Click Here)

Please take the following surveys that will help you to identify your learning style and whether you are left or right brain dominant:


3. TYPING TEST: When you are finished take the typing test (1 minute, any topic you like, and record your Words Per Minute):


You can use typing.com to help you improve your typing skills anytime you are finished with work in this class.  If you insist on playing the typing games, make sure you are using the HOME KEYS to start from, and actually typing to play the games.

Tomorrow, We Will Be Taking An Executive Functions Survey! 

OBJECTIVE & STUDENT OUTCOMES
  Students will be able to identify their individual Learning Style, Left or Right Brain Dominance, Executive Functions, and be tested on their basic typing skills.  Students will complete the Self-Assessments for each activity and record scores on the EXIT TICKET.  Students will also transfer those scores to the online Google Form to add them to the school spreadsheet for credit.  When complete, students will use spare time to improve individual typing skills.

STUDENTS MUST READ ALL DIRECTIONS ON THIS WEBSITE PRIOR TO STARTING ANY ASSIGNED TASKS.  PLEASE FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS AS GIVEN FOR FULL CREDIT!

Students will enter the class quietly and quickly.  Students will be given specific directions and examples of why the information may be valuable to know about Learning Styles, L/R Brain Dominance, Executive Functions, and Typing Speed.  Students will complete all assessments and be able to accurately record scores.  Students will use time wisely and spend any additional time in class, or at home, finishing projects currently due.
