Bloom's Taxonomy and Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences feature largely in a session that asks class members to identify their dominate learning style and intelligence. Furthermore, individuals consider how using these strengths can help them develop positive attitudes and skills that will facilitate life-long learning.

Instructional Ideas

• The journal and many of the worksheets are used in multiple sessions; therefore, have class members create a special folder for these materials, and have them bring this folder to each class session

Classroom Considerations

• The seventh in a series of 10 resources focusing on Social, Physical, Emotional, Cognitive and Spiritual (SPECS) health

Pros

• The nine-page packet includes activities, directions, journal prompts, and links to required materials

Cons

• The labeling of the handouts may prove confusing since they have both a resource number and an activity number 
• Although a link to the Learning Styles resource from the previous unit is not provided, information about these styles is readily available on the Internet
