 The Visual Modality |
|
=> Write things that you want to remember down; you will remember them better that way. => Look at the person who is speaking to you; it will help you focus. => Try to work in a quiet place. Wear earmuffs or earplugs if necessary. Some visual learners do, however, like soft music in the background. => If you miss something a teacher says or do not understand, ask politely if they could repeat or explain. => Most visual learners learn best alone. => When studying, take many notes and write down lots of details. => When trying to learn material by writing out notes, cover your notes then re-write. re-writing will help you remember better. => Use colour to highlight main ideas. => Before starting an assignment, set a goal and write it down. Even post in in front of you. Read it as you do your assignment. => Before reading a chapter or a book, preview it first by scanning the pictures, headings and so on. => Try to put your desk away from the door and windows and close to the front of the class. => Write your own flashcards. Look at them often and write out the main points, then check. => Where possible, use charts, maps, posters, films, videos, computer software, OHPs both to study from and to present your work (where appropriate). |
