The Luttrell Psalter

During the Middle Ages, down to the present day, people formed a fundamental part of Christian and Jewish worship. They, the Psalms, were often written out separately from the rest of the Bible and was then preceded by a calendar of the Church’s feast-days and followed by various types of prayers. One of the volumes was called the Psalter.

My Learning Profile



A picture of my DOMI-KNOW :) 

I am profile 'I'

Have you ever struggles in class, feeling the need to move, or simply change seats so that you could listen better with your left ear or view the whiteboard from a different angle?
The amazing characteristic about understanding your Learner Profile is that it will help you and your teachers know more about the best learning situations for each student; that is your strengths, your preferences and areas that we can all work on and improve.
Today's blog post is a reflection on the Learning Profiles done in class today. In a well structured response (using the information you gained in class), please reflect upon and answer the following:

1. I learn best when....
2. I need to....
3. The strategies that would help me in my learning....
4. I would like my teachers to know this about me....






I learn best when I am not under stress or I am relaxed. When I am relaxed I can easily communicate the details and sequence of information. both verbally and written. When I am under stress I may move forward with caution feeling clumsy and stuck. I may also have difficulty communicating when under stress. 

I need to be able to see and hear the whole image/sound and its emotional elements to learn. I can interpret languages primarily from its tone, pitch and rhythm. My biggest challenge may be to access the pieces of information and be able to put them together into a linear logical manner that I can then communicate. 

Some strategies that would help me in learning are making lists and put them together in linear logical manner that I will then communicate. Also I should practice writing and drawing with my non-dominant hand, or do dancing, walking, playing soccer, cross crawling and drawing with my feet.


I would like to let my teachers know that I will benefit from sitting in the middle front on the room where so that I can access my dominant ear and eye.
