VARK • Visual-Lean the best when they have a model or a picture of what they are learning. • Auditory-Learn the best through hearing things. • Reading-Learn the best when they read things that are written out. • Kinesthetic-Learn the best when they move around to learn something.
My learing Style • I am a Kinesthetic learner. • I learn my best through movement. • In my class most of the students are kinesthetic learners. • Most students in my class can learn their best when they are moving around. • Kinesthetic learners enjoy physical activity. • They also take a lot of breaks during studying. • Kinesthetic people deal with things physically • They also use their hands a lot when they are talking
Barriers to Communication • Stereotyping- When you judge somebody by a part of a group. • Preoccupations/Distractions- When you are distracted with a personal problem, which causes you not to pay attention in class. • Emotional Block- When you let out all of your anger at one time. • Past Experience- When the things that happened in the past still bother you.
Ways to Study Better • When you are studying this means that you are reviewing not learning. • Listen to the teacher • Take notes, and review them • Highlight important parts in your note • Rewrite and shorten down your notes • Make diagrams and pictures • Organize your time for studying • Put paper clips and post-it notes to mark important parts in the book • Use a planner to be organized
Family Heritage • My name is Melissa Thai. I was born at Conover, North Carolina, in October 7, 1996. I have a younger brother and an older sister, so I am the middle child. My parents were both born at Vietnam and had lived there for part of their childhood. When my mom was still a young girl, she had went to a refugee camp in Malaysia. Then she moved to California and had lived there for most of her high school years. She lived with her aunt at California since my grandma had stayed at Vietnam to take care of her other children. My mom was the oldest out of all her brothers and sisters; she had three brothers and two sisters. When my dad was 17, he had also gone to a refugee camp in Malaysia, and had then moved to North Carolina to finish all his years in high school. My dad had six sisters and four brothers. They had all live in many places around the world. He had two brothers and two sisters that live in Hickory, North Carolina, two sister that live in Houston, Texas, one sister that lives in California, and another sister that lives in Hong Kong, and he also has a brother that lives in Vietnam. My parents met in California and had gotten married at September 1992. They had their first child in 1994, their second child in 1996, and their youngest child in 2002.
