1.)List 3 of your strongest learning styles. What do they mean:
They are logical kinesthetic, musical, and interpersonal. Logical means people think by reasoning. Kinesthetic means people think through body sensations. Musical people think via rhythyms and melodies. Last, interpersonal people think by bouncing ideas off other people.

2.) List 3 of your weakest learning styles. Write down what each of them means:
Spatial and intrapersonal. Spatial people think in images and pictures. Intraperosnal people think deeply inside of themselves.

3.) From questions 1 and 2, list three things that you can imrove the way you learn. Also list three things that teachers can do to help you learn better in class.
I can improve the way I learn by starting to get better at communicating better verbally. I dont really know what teachers can do to help us understand things better.

1) Describe what you did for the activity.
I was taking tests and other challenges that colored people had to go through in order to vote.

2) What point was the activity trying to make?
The point it was trying to make was that colored people or poor whites had to go through various obstacles like tests and poll taxes in order to vote. The tests were made so they could fail even if they knew the answers. Even if they passed all of that, some of them would get killed by the sheriffs.

3) What did you learn from the activity?
Voting back then was something extremely hard to do then what you have to go through now. We are lucky we don't have to go through that now.

4) Make a link to the activity from your blog.

One difficult yet interesting thing I learned in this semester was how to use Flash. It was sort of difficult because I never used it before and all of the frames confused me. Also, how to do the tweens and effects on letter or pictures was quite difficult. Although it was hard, it was very interesting. I learned how to use someting new that I will know how to use if someday needed and know how animations are sometimes made.
