Teaching+assignment

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)? The learning styles that appeal to what I taught is logical and mathematical. 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)? I drew on logical thinking while teaching a card trick. 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?) Some struggles of showing this card trick was that the person did not grasp the actuality of the trick. It did not hinder or help it in any way. However, after further explaining the trick, it was easier for her to grasp the concept. 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?) She was able to perform the card trick herself. 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?)? After performing the trick once, I ran through step by step with her how to do the trick.
