Wk 4 - My method of writing!

My learning preference for writing was aural when we did the VARK test in class. That surprised Stephanie when I told her. It surprised me because in my PSY104 class last semester we learned writing and our learning preferences and I was a tactile learner. So I guess I can go either way but my preference changes every time I prepare for writing a paper. It is easy to be an aural learner because there’s lot to remember and I’m good at that. But now that I think about it, it’s hard to be a tactile learner again. From the play-doh activity we did in class was pretty difficult on my part because I can’t just think of something to write or make in a specific amount of time assigned. So being hands-on with the play-doh was a hard task. I had to try and think it out. So each of us was passed out a color and mine was black, so it was hard to think of an object that would characterize my writing. I thought of doing stars but not that artistic to do that. Doing the stars would have been great because while I prepare for a paper I daze out and the stars would’ve been perfect, because I imagine stars above my head in a bubble when I prepare for something. Stephanie just had to give me an example to construct out of the play-doh. She decided a banana. When she gave me that idea, all I could think of was “Are you kidding?” After I thought about it though, it was a perfect idea because like I said earlier when I prepare for something I blank out. So I constructed the banana out of play-doh and started realizing my brain is rotten when I think of options for a paper. The only best way I can prepare for a paper is to just take a few minutes and start outlining on what I would be interested in writing about. I know I’m not the only one out there that chooses to outline, but I think it characterizes my thoughts and beliefs of writing and keeps me on task.
