Akeelah and the Bee

Akeelah was very successful in her Spelling Bee competitions. How m any(prenominal) different attainment skills are there in this plastic film to supporter all the passers watch out? Akeelahs learning skills are what help her move but and further into the spell out bee. Basically, everyone in this movie has a different way of poring over or learning. Akeelah, is a smart 11 year old girl who attends Crenshaw Middle School. She didnt need to bring for her spelling test, beca employ she didnt receive mistakes on her tests. Akeelah doesnt really fit in at school, shes afraid of acting like shes smarter than her friends or classmates.Before she goes for the Crenshaw School across-the-board Spelling Bee, she studies alone. This makes her a Intrapersonal Learner in the beinging of the story. The principle indispensabilityed Dr. Larabee to civilise her for the regional Spelling Bee. Akeelah tells her principle no that does not need to be coached. She wanted to study alone. When Akeelah finally agrees to meet with Dr. Larabee. She still very standoffish. She acted fixed and hardheaded that she doesnt need any help. So she ends up study by herself for the District Spelling Bee. She was very scared and nervous when she goes on the stage to spell because of all the people.She won tenth and made to the Regional Bee. There at the District Spelling Bee she befriends Javier a Mexican son and fellow speller. He invites her to a spelling club at his school. The spelling club conducts itself exterior on a basketball court as they pass the ball to each other to spell lecture. That makes me think that Javier is a Body/ Kinesthetic learner because he learns through body maven moves around by playing basketball and spelling words. He to a fault falls into Naturalistic learner because hes outside date playing basketball and spelling words.Akeelah falls under the same 2 category but she does it a little different. She bounces the balls as she spells each letter. anot her(prenominal) reason why I detect this way is because she likes to be outside when studies her words. She overcomes her stage fright at the Regional Spelling Bee shes a lot more confident. This is where I noticed that Akeelah is Verbal/ Linguistic learner. I then noticed another habit that she taps her hand on her leg as she says each letter. Just like when she was bouncing the basketball, over again another example of her being a Body/ Kinesthetic learner.Dr. Larabee gives her a rush out rope to spell the words as she spells, because she keeps time to spell better. This would make her musical/ rhythm because shes keeping the rhythm as she jumps even when she taps on the side of her leg. Akeelah finally decides to apologize to Dr. Larabee so he can coach her. He doesnt only want her to learn the words but life lessons as well. Dr. Larabee seems to be a Verbal/ Linguistic learner because he is a teacher and he communicates well through language and is a good speller. He was a fo rmer spelling bee competitor when he was younger.Dr. Larabee also seems to be a Intrapersonal learner like Akeelah towards the end of the movie. The reason why I feel this way is because ,he wants to be alone doesnt want to teach Akeelah any more. Dr. Larabee feels that teaching her is unpredictable. He gives her 5,000 flashcards to learn on her own. Akeelah gets overwhelmed with all those words, that she loses her motivation. With all the help of the neighborhood she learned all the words. As she was learning all these words she was using her jump rope outside going up and elaborate the street.This is another example of her being a Body/ Kinesthetic and a Naturalistic learner. Because she moving her body and shes outside while she does it. She makes it to matter Spelling bee in Washington, D. C. Everything goes great because of her using a fake jump rope on stage to spell her words. The ii finalist were Akeelah and Dylan, a Chinese boy who has won second place in the last two Na tional Spelling Bees. He is very contemptuous of her. Dylans suffer will not settle for second best.Dylan seems to be a visual/ Spatial learner because he memorizes his words instead of learning them. They both(prenominal) win the National Championship. Mnemonic devices were used by all the spellers in this movie, because they would learn the spelling words. Then they use them when they would need them. For example they would use the word when they were ask to spell it In conclusion, most of the characters in this movie all had different learning styles. But was also about(predicate) the pursuit to pursuit to excellence the spellers used. The difference betwixt cramming and learning.
