3. My Learning Styles
My strongest learning style is:
Interpersonal
This means I learn most effectively when
I’m working as a group or a partner. I like
to discuss and debate with a lot of
people. I don’t like to work by myself
because when I don’t know something, I
don’t have anyone to work with.
Sometimes when I’m working by myself, I
get really stuck on a question. My worst
learning style is musical. This means you
like to listen to music,play
instrument,and like to compose music.

10. Teacher Comment
Miyu has had a great quarter 3. She impressed her classmates with
a well-spoken presentation about the Ainu of Japan recently, and
also her Medieval Castle Podcast. Her work attitudes have
remained strong and in many ways Miyu is a model student.
Keep up the great work Miyu!
