Just a quick note! I finally updated my original learning styles page and added a new one! The new page is a literary look at learning styles, based upon a presentation I gave at the 2006 Charlotte Mason Conference. My next goal is to convert my notes on narration into a web page, so stay tuned.Speaking of learning styles. . . Pamela is visual, like many people with autism. For her, a picture speaks a thousand words. In this case, Pamela did not want to believe me when I told her in my most declarative voice, "Your sweater is dirty" with a scrunched-up face. Pamela could not see the stain from her angle, so she proceeded to argue and throw a fit. I had the camera nearby, took a picture, and showed it to her. End of argument. She whipped off her sweater immediately without another huff or puff.

Queen Mum, We have a mixed bag in our home: Pamela and Steve are definitely Agnes. I am Mr. Darcy with a splash of Kitty to explain my ditziness. David is all Guy!
ReplyDeleteKarla, right now, we are working on borrowed perspective: Pamela borrowing my perspective to understand the world better. In this case, she did not believe me and arguing seemed pointless. I figured the picture would do the trick since Pamela is highly visual.
