From going to the seminar on knowing my writing style, I learned a lot. My learning style is all I found. No, seriously, I took the test and got an equal number of points under each category. I was scared to hear this, hahaha, but, the more learning styles you apply to, the better you grasp concepts. This makes me really happy, but at the same time, it truly impedes on my studying sometimes, because I really want to get into it. This leads me to believe that I am, all in all, a kinesthetic learned at heart because I have to do SOMETHING to learn. The definition of a kinesthetic learner that the seminar gave was that you have to physically do something to learn best. I think that I need to physically do something like exercise or walk to think about what I have learned, but also, for example, writing something as soon as I hear it or think it will help me learn best. I think getting into it, totally,, is how I learn best. For example, after I get out of my art appreciation class, the best thing for me to do is look at a piece of art and apply what I learned to the piece, read more about it, re-write my notes,and re-play what the teacher said in class, and then walk to think about it and learn it best. So, I truly incorporate all three styles into my optimal work envirnoment.
I think this relates to the Paddington Bear activity and the concepts therein because the assignment encouraged us to encompass a writing topic's many angles to get a reader to grasp a concept. using sensory details "fattens up" a draft, just like incorporating different learning styles. Another thing that relates to the things we have learned in class was how your learning style can change with time. To me, this relates to how our draft can change at any time, our mood and way of grasping concepts can change, thereofre our outlook on our writing will change. I also think that asking us to always be working on a draft is related to kinesthetic learning because we are thinking about our pieces as we do different things.
