Some students learn best when they are able to HEAR information. These

students are called AUDITORY LEARNERS.

Other students need to SEE the information. They are called VISUAL

LEARNERS.Still others need to TRY THINGS OUT.

They are called hands on or KINESTHETIC LEARNERS.

Speak or listen to speakersHave discussions

Make up rhymes and poemsRead aloud

Use oral directionsListen to music, CDs and MP3s

Repeat things orally.

FALSE! Athletes possess a certain type of intelligence called Kinesthetic

Intelligence or Body Smarts. This is just one of the eight intelligences

researched and identified by Howard Gardner, a professor at Harvard.

Linguistic (Word Smart) Spatial (Art Smart)Musical (Music Smart)Logical (Math Smart)Intrapersonal (Self Smart)Interpersonal (People Smart)Naturalistic (Nature Smart)

Temperament theory has its roots in the ancient

four humors theory. It may have origins in ancient Egypt

or Mesopotamia, but it was the GreekPhysician, Hippocrates (460-370 BC), who

systemized and developed it into a medicaltheory. He believed certain human moods,

emotions and behaviors were caused by bodyfluids (called "humors"): blood, yellow

bile,black bile, and phlegm.

The Sanguine temperament personality is fairlyextroverted. People of a sanguine temperament tendto enjoy social gatherings and making new friends.

They tend to be creative and often day dream.However, some alone time is crucial for those of this

temperament. Sanguine can also mean very sensitive,compassionate and thoughtful. Sanguine

personalities generally struggle with following tasksall the way through, are chronically late, and tend to

be forgetful. Often, when pursuing a new hobby, interestis lost quickly--when it ceases to be engaging or fun.

A person who is choleric is a doer. They have a lot

of ambition, energy, and passion, and try to instill

it in others. They can dominate people of other

temperaments, especially phlegmatic types. Many

great charismatic military and political figureswere cholerics.

A person who is a thoughtful ponderer has amelancholic disposition. Often very kind and

considerate, melancholics can be highly creative –

as in poetry and art - and can become occupied

with the tragedy and cruelty in the world. Amelancholic is also often a perfectionist.

They areoften self-reliant and independent.

Phlegmatics tend to be self-content and kind.They can be very accepting and affectionate.

Theymay be very receptive and shy and often prefer

stability to uncertainty and change. They are veryconsistent, relaxed, rational, curious, and

observant, making them good administrators anddiplomats. Unlike the Sanguine personality, they

may be more dependable.

The style represents two types of preferences:

Perceptual preference* abstract (reason and intuition)

* concrete (the senses)

Ordering preference* sequential

* random

These learners prefer direct, hands-on activities, step-by-step

instructions, and real life examples.

These learners prefer a trial-and-error approach,

with breakthroughs through intuitive insight.

They like a stimulus rich environment. Theythrive on competition, especially if they can

usetheir wits. They are implementers of change

and tend to be impulsive. They don't like to read directions and dislike structure.

These learners prefer a highly verbal, logical andanalytical approach based on intellect. Their

motto is "knowledge is power." They like solitude,prefer well-organized material, and are highlyskeptical. They have trouble picking up subtle

nonverbal cues and dislike distractions. They likewritten, verbal, and visual instruction.

These learners like to focus on relationships and

their emotions. They respond to visual methods

of instruction, group discussion, and time for

reflection. They enjoy evaluating personalexperiences.

• We will be putting together a project that showcases all of the different ways that YOU think and learn based on the results of the quizzes we have just taken.

• This can be an illustrated piece of writing• a PowerPoint Presentation• a movie • a collage with text• a facebook or webpage type set-up • or anything else you can dream up. • The project must include references to all of the different

factors that contribute to your learning (Right/Left Brain, Modality, Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences, Temperaments and Gregoric) as well as descriptive words from the results to showcase your unique qualities to the class and later become part of Wanna Piece of Me and the Antholio.

• You will present this project to the class ___________.
