DescriptionPen and Paper Method

1. For this assignment, the students will be researching and note taking. Two days have been allotted for this assignment. The purpose of the assignment is for the students to acquire an understanding of the different learning styles (reading, writing, listening, speaking, visualizing, and manipulating) and the different Multiple Intelligences (verbal/linguistic, logical/mathematical, visual/spatial, bodily/kinesthetic, musical/rhythmic, naturalist, interpersonal, and intrapersonal). Through their research the students will be able to recognize that we do not all learn in the same manner.

2. Research may be done through a public library or through the Internet. The students should use one, or a combination of, the note taking methods in the note taking mini lesson section of the curriculum guide.

3. If the students wish to take an inventory that would tell them which Multiple Intelligence was their strongest, refer them to the URL http://snow.utoronto.ca/Learn2/mod3/miinventory.html

4. To discover which learning styles the students favour, have the students perform the inventory found on pages 14 and 15 in the book by Gail Murphy Sonbuchner entitled Help Yourself How to Take Advantage of Your Learning Styles.

Sub-skills Needed:

1. Research strategies
2. Note taking strategies

Materials Needed

1. Copies of the note taking frames the students wish to use

Computer IntegrationComputer Integration

The students will use the word processing program as a note taking tool. They may use any method of note taking with which they feel comfortable. Therefore, there are many different possibilities for which to account. For example, if using the Cornell Method of note taking, the students may choose to use the table or columns features. If the students use the Mapping Method of note taking, then they may want to use the features on the draw toolbar to create their notes.

The students will also use the Internet to search for information on learning styles and multiple intelligences if this is available to them.
