3. Split brain theory
3.2. Activity: Find out how your brain works
For this lesson, students are involved in figuring out which hemisphere of the brain is the dominant side. While the two hemispheres are connected and sharing information through the corpus callosum, everybody have one hemisphere that influences how to learn. Let’s start by answering a quiz:
1. What kind of music do you prefer?
a. Classical music
b. Pop music
2. What is more important to you?
a. Being on time
b. Having a good time
3. How do you figure things out?
a. Careful planning
b. Visualize the outcome
4. When making a decision or choice, what do you go with?
a. Consider alternatives
b. Go with the first idea
5. What do you prefer being?
a. Thoughtful
b. Active
6. What activities would you most like to do?
a. Monopoly, scrabble or chess
b. Athletics, art or music
If you answered mainly “a," then you are left-brained, and would benefit from visual learning; if they answered mainly “b," then they are right-brained, and would benefit from verbal learning. Encourage students to integrate their learning style (verbal or visual) into how they study.
