Galileo Homework week One What are your learning styles? What have you learnt about yourself from the Hermann Brain activities this week?

Did you disagree with any of the findings/observations? Explain

Were you surprised by anything you discovered about yourself this week? Consider for example, what you learnt about your learning style, working in teams or observing others in the group …

Do you think you rely too heavily on one style of learning? What new skills would you like to develop? What questions has this raised about: A. You as a person? B. You as a learner?

A. this week didn't realy raise any questions about me as a person. But it did surprise me in the Hemann brain test that I was a person who apparently liked facts and would enjoy trivia nights more than most people and that I was good at maths which is true but I absolutley hate maths. So I think the hermann brain test got me wrong or more so Mr.Bourke although my results were balanced.

B. as a learner I think I am balanced in all areas which my hermann brain test reflected. I also thought that my strong part was learning by facts but the stereotypes according to Mr.Bourke that came along with that kind of learning style did not reflect me as I said in question A.

Aboriginal Questions. 5. Why did the British want to settle Melbourne in the first place? So they had a place for their cattle and sheep to graze 6.how was land in Melbourne obtained by its founders? According to settlers the aboriginals signed the land of Melbourne over to the british and john batman but since then it has been said the contract was illegal. 7. Was Batman’s treaty successful? No, it was not successful the contract was later found invalid then it probably wasn’t successful but the bristish were successful in claiming the land by force. 8. after Fawkner and Batman came how did Melburnians get their land? It was bought from the bristish government or given to people who the crown thought deserved it.

9. was the founding of Melbourne fair? No I don’t think so the aboriginals had no idea of the concept of land ownership and were later kicked and forced off their own land.
