E stands for me

In humanities we did a lesson on finding our dominant profile with Mr. Whiting. We did this lesson to find out how we learn and ways to help us learn in class. I agree with my profile and here are facts that help me on my studies.
1. I learn best when......

I learn best when I work collaborative with other people, because then I don't have to do all the hard work alone and also I can get more ideas when working together, helping each other understand the situation, like team work. I also learn best by communicating with details of information. In class I also have to sit somewhere near the back so that I don't disturb anybody around me. Well this trimester I am sitting at the back and I do seem more concentrated. Also when I am relaxed I am more interested in something than when I am in stress. Normally nice music maybe like jazz or classical music will help me study well in school and on my homework. This is how I learn best in class and I agree with all of this, it those show who I am.

2. I need to....

For now I am going in the right direction but there is one group of people that I cannot work with are people who speak to much instead of doing the project (Auditory group). I get really stress out when I work with someone who speaks to much and can't stop so we can actually start our work, I get really annoyed, since I am more of a hands on person and a verbal person, someone who doesn't like to read the instruction before starting to make the object or item and someone how likes to say things in detail but not for a long period. I also need to plan my movement before doing it. I am having a bit of trouble thinking that way but I’ve almost got the understanding of it. My biggest challenge is to be able to work with a gestalt brain, because once am able to do that we will make a perfect team.
3. The strategies that would help me in my learning....

A few strategies that would help me to learn is to listen or play music like in band, also I have to be able to move around and be active like in P.E, and doing art like what I would do at home sometimes. All of these strategies will help me in the future and also for my learning in school. When I am experiencing difficultly, for me to get out of it is for me to talk it through with someone to understand it more. When under stress I must try to relax myself if I want to enjoy learning a topic.

4. I would like my teachers to know this about me.....

That for me I need calm music to help me study more, like Mrs.Narsiman would do sometimes during class time. I would work best as a collaborative group to share ideas and understandings. I need to be more relaxed to learn something in a more concentrating way. I think leaving me near the back helps me a lot to study more and not to disturb anyone around me a lot. I think that is all the important stuff I need to tell my teacher.
