Nội dung Text: Nature concertration8

Your Study Style You have a structured, organized way of thinking. You are good at making lists and charts (sequential thinking). You don’t always want to know exactly what something is because you prefer to figure it out yourself. You probably like algebra better than arithmetic. The mean- ings in short stories, novels, or poems come easily to you. Tips • Make outlines to help align your thinking, as you review old mate- rial and add new information. • Practice exercises called syllogisms, such as “If A B, and B C, then A C.” • Solve logic puzzles, games, jigsaw puzzles, and riddles. • Read mysteries or crime investigations and try to figure out the answer. • Enjoy how-things-work and cross-section books. • Devise question-and-answer sessions with your study buddy or for your study group. • Enjoy the Internet and multiple software programs. 3. Visual/Spatial Intelligence: Thinking in Images Does this sound like you? Do you: • easily visualize three-dimensional objects? • take information and translate it into images and pictures in your mind? • retrieve information through images and pictures you have stored earlier? • enjoy geometry and recognize the relationships of objects in space? • like to look at or create drawings, sculptures, or crafts? • get called a “daydreamer”? 69 Discovering Your Learning Style
Your Study Style You are probably successful in geometry and very good in visual arts, sculpture, architecture, and photography. You may enjoy mazes and jigsaw puzzles and spend your free time drawing or building. You probably like to see the “whole picture” (global thinking) and often don’t need to work through individual parts, as sequential learners do. Tips • Turn what you’re reading into your own cartoon or storyboard. • Pay attention to the “movie” in your head. Draw pictures that come to mind in the margins of your texts, or in your notes. • Write or record a summary using doodles, symbols, and colors. • Film a report or design a newsletter with desktop software. • Write stories and reports from photographs or paintings, or from video or educational TV. 4. Musical/Rhythmic Intelligence: Understanding and Expressing Music and Rhythm Does this sound like you? Do you: • have the ability to hear and recognize tones, rhythms, and musical patterns? • show sensitivity to nonverbal sounds in the environment? • play an instrument or belong to a choir? • remember and repeat a melody after listening to it once? • enjoy listening to music and singing to yourself? Your Study Style You have a wonderful ability to understand the structure of music, to create melodies and rhythms. You can learn through rhythm and melody. You prefer to have music in the background when studying, and you learn new things more easily if sung, tapped, or whistled. You are probably an auditory learner, preferring to hear a lecture or a tape. 10 SECRETS TO ACING ANY HIGH SCHOOL TEST 70
Tips • Listen to books-on-tape and lectures in the car and on your Walk- man. • Turn information into a rap or song lyrics. • Study with Mozart playing in the background; his music has been proven to align the brain’s rhythms. • Dance or move around to music while reciting. • Tap your foot or fingers as you read your text as if it were a song or poem. This works with math and science formulas, too. 5. Body/Kinesthetic Intelligence: Using the Body and Movement to Express Oneself Does this sound like you? Do you: • need to touch and manipulate things? • tend to move, jump, hop around, and fidget? • learn better when doing hands-on work, such as a science experi- ment or building a model? • like participating in or watching games, sports, acrobatics, or acting? Your Study Style You are more successful in learning if you can touch, manipulate, and move or feel whatever you are learning. You do well with physical activities: games, acting, hands-on tasks, and building. You probably process information through movement or watching movement, like when historical scenes are acted out or when given an assignment to build a bridge out of toothpicks. Tips • During a lecture, doodle or silently tap you finger when you are not writing. • Rewrite your notes—a physical activity. 71 Discovering Your Learning Style
• Enjoy crafts, building, and working on mechanical projects. • Study by moving. After a study session, take a notepad and pen and go for a 20-minute walk. Stop and write down thoughts on what you studied as they come to mind. • Use a computer—this involves constant action, and there is a lot of action on the screen, too. • Learn by watching TV or videos, such as the History, Discovery, and Travel Channels. 6. Interpersonal Intelligence: Understanding People and Relationships Does this sound like you?

Your Study Style You are good at working with a partner or in study groups. You listen well and contribute, too, interacting effectively with those around you—teachers and fellow students. You like to teach other kids and take part in school organizations and clubs. You have the ability to influence people, and you are probably a natural leader. Tips • Study and review with others, bouncing ideas off of them. • When working with a study buddy, you can each become a different character and discuss—or debate—the topic you are studying. • Use your empathetic skills to try to understand the motivations and decisions of political science, history, and science leaders. 10 SECRETS TO ACING ANY HIGH SCHOOL TEST 72
• Brainstorm and problem-solve with friends, do practice tests, and discuss class notes together. 7. Intrapersonal Intelligence: Understanding Oneself Does this sound like you? Do you: • have an awareness of your own strengths, weaknesses, feelings, and moods? • prefer to study and play alone? • use your self-knowledge and self-discipline to reach your goals? • monitor your thoughts and feelings and control them pretty well? • learn best through observing and listening? Your Study Style You are self-motivated and prefer to study on your own without dis- tractions. You are also analytical and prone to introspection. You enjoy solitary activities like reading and writing. You process infor- mation internally, challenging your own thoughts and assumptions with ease. You may be quiet or shy in class and have trouble speaking up in a group setting. Tips • Use your self-knowledge to set up the best study plan for your goals. • Design a quiet, private space for studying and ask for cooperation from your family. • Role play: If you are studying management, pretend you own your own company; if you’re studying chemistry, think of yourself as a chemist. • Try reading and writing while walking around the house. • Act out what you have learned. Nobody’s watching—your charac- ter can even be a machine if that’s what you are learning about. • Talk to yourself as you review materials from a tape, notes, or a reading. 73 Discovering Your Learning Style
