Activity 1

INTRODUCTION

Share the Finding My Learning Style activity sheet with participants. Give them about five minutes to complete the survey and tally their responses.

After Explorers have had time to complete the worksheet, ask for volunteers to share their answers. Ask them if they scored highest in the area they thought they would or if they were surprised by their results.

Briefly review with the Explorers examples of each of the types of learning styles.

Examples you could provide would be:

Auditory—listening to speeches or videos, reading out loud, participating in group discussions
Visual—drawing maps, outlining processes, taking notes, watching videos
Tactile/kinesthetic—taking field trips, visiting museums, playing learning games

Transition into the reflection to close the session.
