how the mercury signs learn best…

*check your house signs and any aspects to mercury*

*disclaimer* do NOT steal or plagiarise my work. I regularly check through various astrology tags on social media, so I will recognise when my work is stolen and message and report your account if I see it.

fire mercuries (aries, leo, sagittarius) ~ kinaesthetic learners ~ will learn best by being ‘hands on’ and physically active to recall and retain information ~ activities: charades // memory games and flashcards // memorising through being active.

water mercuries (pisces, scorpio, cancer) ~ auditory learners ~ will learn best by listening, creating and speaking to memorise information ~ activities: watch, say, repeat // talking through a problem // having music on in the background whilst working.

earth mercuries (capricorn, virgo, taurus) ~ visual learner ~ will learn best by utilizing colourful images, watching videos, drawing, colour-coding and highlighting notes and using mnemonics to help bring their study material to life (and to be more memorable!) ~ activities: diagrams // graphs // drawing pictures // using colour to identify.

air mercuries (gemini, libra, aquarius) ~ reading/writing learner ~ these people learn best by reading, taking notes, making lists and re-writing notes in their own words ~ activities: write notes // create questions in relation to your topic and answer them // translate graphs, charts & diagrams into a written summary.

ok but seriously what kind of teacher gets pissy at someone taking notes while they’re talking. I don’t care if you’ve “already put together notes for us” it’s absolutely USELESS if we don’t do it ourselves - we’ve been told this for four years whenever they decided to have an assembly about study skills, why is this suddenly a problem. Also you say stuff that isn’t in the notes and I learn with a pen or highlighter in my hand, not by sitting completely still and watching you. Sitting completely still and watching you is how... wait lemme check *riffles through notes* yes sitting completely still and watching you is how I tune out and think about fanfiction.

Making a quick prototype of my monograph to use as a story board

As I was struggling with my previous story board, I decided to make a quick prototype of the monograph its self, indicating how/what I’d like to include on each page. I am a kinaesthetic learner so this really helped me to visualise how I could present the narrative better because I could physically flick through the pages. I used a simple coptic bind to sew it together as I wanted this to be a really quick exercise. This definitely was worth the 10 mins binding it together as I was able to analyse how each page could follow onto the next, rather than it being a 2D example. I will now use this to create some page layouts and consider how each page will follow from the next. I will be using this for the Interim so that people can also visualise it better.

Any motivation on how to study for final exams? I'm a very kinaesthetic learner and right now memorizing is just not doing it for me especially when I'd rather be doing other things...

So first, a few links to browse:

A few personal tips for the kinaesthetic learner:

Walk around while reading your notes (I do this a lot, I pace in my basement cause it’s the longest area where I can walk in a straight line)

Transfer your notes to sticky notes and stick them around your room/house/kitchen/living room/wherever you spend time in. So whenever you are doing something, you glance at the sticky note and you’re like “ah! I remember this”

Any other tips, followers?

You are a very tactile (or kinesthetic) learner.

You prefer direct involvement in the learning environment and enjoy activities like role playing and sports. You remember things best once you've experienced them. You don't understand things so well if you only read about them. Reading usually bores you. You may talk with your hands. You might have been called a poor listener or a fidgety student. You probably like to wear sporty or comfortable clothing. You like games and you learn things by practicing. When you study you should take short breaks. You can be impulsive and you probably sit in the back of the class. You like to study in groups because of the interaction. You may be involved in drama. You can benefit by using role playing methods when you study. You could also benefit from making your own flashcards.
