Akeelah and the Bee

Akeelah was very successful in her recite Bee competitions. How many different learning skills are there in this movie to help oneself all(a) the spellers learn? Akeelahs learning skills are what help her move further and further into the spelling bee. Basically, everyone in this movie has a different instruction of withdrawing or learning. Akeelah, is a smart 11 year old girl who attends Crenshaw Middle School. She didnt need to study for her spelling test, because she didnt maintain 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 wide spell out Bee, she studies alone. This makes her a Intrapersonal Learner in the creationing of the story. The principle wanted Dr. Larabee to coach her for the Regional recite Bee. Akeelah tells her principle no that does not need to be coached. She wanted to study alone. When Akeelah in conclusion agrees to meet with Dr. Larabee. She still very standoffish. She acted stubborn 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 boy and fellow speller. He invites her to a spelling club at his school. The spelling club conducts itself outside on a basketball game court as they pass the ball to from each one other to spell spoken communication. That makes me think that Javier is a Body/ Kinesthetic learner because he learns through trunk sensation moves around by playing basketball and spelling words. He also falls into Naturalistic learner because hes outside slice playing basketball and spelling words.Akeelah falls under the same two category but she does it a little different. She bounces the balls as she spells each letter. Another c ausal agent why I feel this focal point is because she likes to be outside when studies her words. She overcomes her stage fright at the Regional Spelling Bee shes a lot much 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, again another example of her being a Body/ Kinesthetic learner.Dr. Larabee gives her a jump 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 former spelling b ee 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 knowing all the words. As she was learning all these words she was development her jump rope outside going up and down 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 National Spelling bee in Washington, D. C. Everything goes great because of her using a fake jump rope on stage to spell her words. The two finalist were Akeelah and Dylan, a Chinese boy who has won second place in the last two National Spell ing Bees. He is very contemptuous of her. Dylans father 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 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 the pursuit to pursuit to excellence the spellers used. The difference between cramming and learning.
