Whiteboards • What are the two major parts of the nervous system?
Warm Up • Which part of the brain is most likely enhanced when a person is a visual learner? • What about a bodily/kinesthetic? • Logical/Mathematical EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER.
Personal Reflection Assignment • 1. Write a two paragraph reflection on what you have learned about the brain and learning. • Include: • 1. How you viewed intelligence before and after this unit (look back at your first homework assignment!) • 2. Your high and low preferences for learning styles and two examples of things about yourself that follow this criteria. • 3. Which parts of your brain are more developed than others? Make the connection between lobe and learner! • 4. How will you apply this to your life? What can you do to “train your brain”?
