Through the Eyes of a Double P

Double P? What is that? That was my first question. Then I read about it and found out more. In Humanities Mr. Whiting and Ms. Narsiman came in and we took a series of tests to see what kind of learner we are. My learning profile in PP. That means many things...

When I am learning, I learn best trough movement and actions. I really need to fidget and move to keep my brain active, if I don't I will lose focus. When I do MAP testing I lose my focus and start to get bored. But on the flip side, I enjoy physical activities like sports, dancing, P.E., and drama, because I am able to learn trough movement, and that helps the information stick in my brain. During class I can't sit still so I will need to get up and move, tap my foot, or bounce my knee. I feel when I am learning it is best for me to move my hands and/or perform a skit to help me remember.

Being a PP learner means I have to move around, also I am a Kinesthetic learner which also means I learn best through activities, and I am right brained, or Gestalt. When I am explaining things I feel the need to move my hands around to express what I am saying. Under stress my Visual, Auditory and Movement is limitted, my eyes, ears, and legs, but I am still able to use my hands when I am stressed out. I need to be able to jump around and be active or I won't soak up any information, so in the class after P.E. I remember a lot more of what I just learnt.

Things that would help me learn better in class are, acting out what I just learnt, getting up and taking a jog, playing with something, tapping my foot, and so on. Also I can do lazy 8's, when you take your thumb and make an eight, making sure the middle crosses the center of your head, and thinking caps, when you cross your arms and rub your ears. Both of these exercises force both sides of you brain to work together.

My teacher's should know that movement is the key to really getting me to know what they're teaching better. During classes they should try to incorporate some sort of physical activity in what we are learning. My teacher shouldn't put step by step schedules on the board because I can't focus on reading them.

For all those PP learners just remember what is good for you. The picture at the top is what my profile is. My Domi-know. Now you know what a double P is.
