1) Write your name normally
2) Write your name with the letters in alphabetical order
3) Write your name artistically (in your own "font" so to speak)
4) Sing your name
5) Spell your name with your body
6) If you could change your name, what could you change it to? Or would you?  Write it down and don't tell anyone
7) Tell someone else what you would rename yourself.

Then you mark which one was your favorite and it supposedly tells what kind of a learner you are:
1)  Visual/spatial
2)  Logical/mathematical
3) Artistic
4) Musical
5) Kinesthetic
6) Intrapersonal
7) Interpersonal

Then when introducing themselves, students say what kind of a learner they are.]]> 2018-07-23 15:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lterrill/58usuezh9qqy/wish/270875220 https://padlet.com/lterrill/58usuezh9qqy/wish/270875272 Great exercise for the beginning of the year. Tape typed statements (in the TL) in the hallway describing yourself or some of the learning targets for the class. Put students in groups. They have to run into the hall, memorize the statement, and dictate it to their partner to be written down. First team to get all of them recorded wins.]]> 2018-07-23 15:16:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lterrill/58usuezh9qqy/wish/270875272 https://padlet.com/lterrill/58usuezh9qqy/wish/270875407 2018-07-23 15:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lterrill/58usuezh9qqy/wish/270875407 https://padlet.com/lterrill/58usuezh9qqy/wish/270875455  The Rule of the game: is to give the Spanish cognates translation of 5 English words, then write 5 new English words for the next participant to give the Spanish cognate and so on.
