Learning to drive in field hockey(teaching little sister)

1. To what learning styles does the lesson you were trying to teach seem to appeal (for instance, shooting baskets might appeal most to Kinesthetic and Interpersonal intelligences)? Kinesthetic, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal

2. What disciplines did you draw on to teach the person your lesson (for example, learning to shoot baskets might draw on physics and kinesiology)? Physics-learning to have the ball placed where the stick will hit it with the most power, and the swinging of the field hockey stick.

3. In terms of multiple intelligences, what were the strengths and struggles of the person you were trying to teach? How did this help or hinder your efforts? (for example, did they have an easier time when you described in words? demonstrated visually?) My sister had an easier time understanding how to hit the ball when I stopped and explained to her exactly what I meant, instead of just trying to demonstrate.

4. What evidence did you have that the person had learned the lesson? In what discipline would that evidence "count", and why? (for example, could the person explain/perform/repeat/individualize? would a scientist/english teacher agree that s/he had learned?) My sister began to make accurate drives to her target after learning and her coach would be able to confirm the evidence.

5. What forms of communication did you and/or your person use in the process (for example, did you use diagrams? demonstrations? step-by-step directions?)? In order to teach my sister, I demonstrated how to hit the ball correctly and also broke it down into step by step instructions verbally for her. ||
