Unit 4 Learning Check
This learning check is designed to help you understand how
well you have grasped the learning concepts in this unit. You
may take as long as you like to complete this learning check. A
good estimate is 10–20 minutes. You may complete it as many
times as you like. While this is an ungraded learning check, be

2. aware that questions from this learning check will be included
in the final graded quiz you will take in Unit 10.
Your top three intelligences:
Intelligence
Score (5.0 is highest)
Description
4.43
Social: You like to develop ideas and learn from other people.
You like to talk. You have good social skills. Effective
techniques of enhancing your learning using your social
intelligence include taking part in group discussions or
discussing a topic one-to-one with another person. Find ways to
build reading and writing exercises into your group activities,
such as:
· Reading a dialogue or a play with other people
· Doing team learning/investigating projects
· Setting up interview questions and interviewing your family,
and writing down the interview
· Writing notes to another instead of talking.
4.29
Self: You have a very good sense of self. You like to spend time
by yourself and think things over. You will often take in
information from another person, mull it over by yourself, and
come back to that person later to discuss it. You like working
on projects on your own. You often prefer to learn by trial and
error. Effective techniques to enhance your learning include
keeping a journal and giving yourself time to reflect on new
ideas and information. More ideas:
· Go on "guided imagery" tours.

3. · Set aside time to reflect on new ideas and information.
· Encourage journal writing.
· Work on the computer.
· Practice breathing for relaxation.
· Use brainstorming methods before reading.
· Listen to and read "how to" tapes and books.
· Read cookbooks.
3.71
Body Movement: You like to move, dance, wiggle, walk, and
swim. You are likely good at sports, and you have good fine
motor skills. You may enjoy taking things apart and putting
them back together. Incorporating body movement into your
learning will help you process and retain information better.
Here are some ideas.
· Trace letters and words on each other's back.
· Use magnetic letters, letter blocks, or letters on index cards to
spell words.
· Take a walk while discussing a story or gathering ideas for a
story.
· Make pipe cleaner letters. Form letters out of bread dough.
After you shape your letters, bake them and eat them!
· Use your whole arm (extend without bending your elbow) to
write letters and words in the air.
· Change the place where you write and use different kinds of
tools to write, ie., typewriter, computer, blackboard, or large
pieces of paper.
· Write on a mirror with lipstick or soap.
· Take a walk and read all the words you find during the walk.
· Handle a Koosh ball or a worry stone during a study session.
· Take a break and do a cross-lateral walk.

Just because these five are not in your top three doesn’t mean
you’re not strong in them. If your average score for any
intelligence is above three, you’re probably using that
intelligence quite often to help you learn. Take a look at the
Practice section to see how to engage all your intelligences.

Journal week 4
I have taken many intelligence preferences tests over the years.
They are typically
accurate. This particular quiz was spot on (Multiple
Intelligence, n. d.). My number one
intelligence is social/interpersonal. I think the description isn’t
me completely because I am not

7. one that likes to talk. I do like to be in conversation, but I like
the other person/people to do a lot
of the talking. I am intuitive and I like to build and discuss
ideas with others. My second
intelligence is self/intrapersonal. I do spend time by myself
contemplating life and its
complicated issues and beauty. I have not always been like this.
It has taken me many years to be
comfortable being alone with all my thoughts. My third
intelligence is music. I have no talent
musically as far as playing an instrument or being able to sing
but music saves my life every day.
I gain so much comfort and motivation from music. I think and
move in rhythm. I like to commit
things to memory through using song.
My ideal learning environment would be rich in music and
rhymes. I would also have
many people to collaborate with. I would have a lot of group
work and interactions to help me
learn. I would also write rhymes and songs to help me remember
things. I like the idea of doing a
play or some type of performance to help me learn. I think using
meditation is so helpful in the
classroom so I would love to incorporate that into my own

8. learning environment. It helps you
become centered and get back to your basic necessity of
breathing.
For me to learn ideally I need a place that is warm, welcoming
and bright. I need desks
and seats that are arranged as a circle or in a group. I need to
have a low pressure situation. My
instructor needs to be informative, without being a know-it-all.
I like teachers that are
approachable and admit when they are wrong or someone could
also be correct with an opinion
that differs from the teacher. I think many of my personal
learning preferences and intelligences
can be used for students in my class.
