Hello people, good morning. Today is Home-Learning for our school, thus giving us the ‘privilege’ to stay at home to complete our respective subjects’ assignments. Most of you, I mean my friends from other schools, are evidently in school now. Something cropped up this morning, which obviated us from starting our pre-planned appointment for our IH assignment. I seriously hope that a similar scenario would not occur again. What I meant is that a supposedly small mistake would impede the progress of our project and in the end, the results would be thwarted.
Anyway, this post is for my Language Arts Home-Learning assignment. Firstly, I would be talking about my learning style. I have taken the Multiple Intelligences test some time ago and I am very sure of what results I have attained for it. My learning style is ‘Interpersonal’. Basically, based on the definition from the dictionary, it just means occurring among or involving several people. I guess that is definitely my style of learning. I indubitably feel that this style fits me, as I really enjoy working and participating in groups for projects and group work in all aspects of learning and gaining of knowledge. From my own perspective, being in groups is apparently way better than accomplishing a project individually. This is because when you are in a group, you would be able to list a diverse area of suggestions, and so could your teammates. After these procedures, your teammates could find out what mistakes and problems your suggestion would have and vice-versa. Then, the whole group will make an effort to pick out the most suitable idea which is eligible for the project. When you are working individually, ideas that you think of may have flaws which you do not even realise. This is because from your own point of view, you may think that it is perfect and unblemished. However, there is also a disadvantage when working in groups. That is the argument aroused between members of the group when they strongly oppose each other regarding certain matters. This may cause friction between the members and in later dates, working together cooperatively would be an unenviable task. There are also many other types of learning styles. They are Naturalistic, Kinaesthetic, Linguistic, Logical, Intrapersonal, Musical and Visual/Spatial.
Now, for the second activity, I would be writing a response to the hypothetical question from Miss Kinnian, an ‘important’ character from the story Flowers for Algernon.
Miss Kinnian, being the woman who Charlie Gordon loves and had learnt a lot from, should try to help Charlie Gordon, despite his unswayed and importunate mindset that he was going to remain shut off from the world and all the people he knows, including Miss Kinnian. If I were Miss Kinnian, I would remain undaunted by the cruel fact, and continue linger outside Charlie’s room. Being a man, after seeing this, Charlie Gordon would most likely give way and come out of his room personally to talk to Miss Kinnian without any other options. I would then try to pursue for the reason for Charlie’s stubbornness regarding his actions. Even if he does not give me the applicable answer, I am sure to confront Dr. Strauss about what happened to him. Otherwise, I would visit him more often, despite knowing his refusal of facing me. From the passage, Miss Kinnian, as well as the people Charlie knew, was kept in the dark all the time, not having a single clue that Charlie was sick. I would also scour shopping malls or outdoor parks with Charlie, to expose him to the world, before any unfortunate happens.
