Activity 4 Consolidating the concept of learning styles
Tell students that each of them will get a card with a sentence on it. They need to decide which learning style it describes. (eg. Does your card talk about the visual learning style?)find other people who have the same learning style and form a new group. Tell them that there should be four group in the end.
Check whether all the students are in the right groups. Rearrange students if necessary.





Activity 1, Handout 2
The Animal School
Once upon a time, the animals decided they must do something heroic to meet the problems of a ‘New World’, so they organized a school. They adopted an activity curriculum consisting of running, climbing, swimming and flying. To make it easier to
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
administer, all the animals took all the subjects.
The duck was excellent at swimming, better in fact than the instructor, and got excellent grades for flying, but he was very poor at running. Since he was so bad at running, he had to stay after school and also drop swimming to practise running. This was kept up
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
until his web feet were badly worn and he was only average at swimming. But average was acceptable in school, so nobody worried about that except the duck.
The rabbit started at the top of the class in running, but had a nervous breakdown
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
because he had to make up so much in swimming.
The squirrel was excellent at climbing until he became frustrated in the flying class where his teacher made him start from the ground up instead of from the tree-top down. He also developed an illness from the hard work and he got ‘poor’ in climbing and failed
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
running.
The eagle was a problem child and had to be disciplined severely. In the climbing class he beat all the others to the top of the tree, but insisted on using his own way of getting there. At the end of the year, the fish that could swim exceedingly well and could also run, climb
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and fly a little had the highest average.
The dogs stayed away from school because the administration would not add digging to the curriculum. They took their children to a different school.
