Different+Learning+Modalities

Learning Modalities, Module 6, Planning for Student Success
Act. 1 Summarize the assigned learning modality. Discuss your thoughts you have about how each learning style could have an impact on how you meet students' needs in your unit.

It is important to address the different learning styles in your instruction because each child learns differently. So, to make sure that you are reaching each student the lesson should be presented in various ways to allow them to acquire or comprehend the concept being taught. In my unit I would address each style in various ways such as:


 * Powerpoint Presentation:** On Patterns


 * Kinesthetic/Auditory:**
 * Have children take turns tape-recording their favorite rhythm pattern.
 * Have the class listen to the recording of each pattern. Then have children copy and extend the patterns.


 * Visual/Kinesthetic:**
 * Use snap cubes to model a simple color pattern.


 * To meet the needs of my LEP/ESL I would:**
 * Counters to model a simple color pattern.
 * Point to each counter, name the color, and have the child repeat after me.


 * Technology:**
 * Have children work in pairs.
 * Have one child use a series of letters to create a pattern on the computer screen. Have the partner translate the pattern using symbols.
 * Talk about how the patterns are the same and how they are different.
