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 lesson of teaching my my younger cousin to play soccer appeals to Kinesthetic and Interpersonal intelligences.

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)? Teaching my cousin to kick the ball and score goals might draw on balance, physical strength, and strategy.

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?) When teaching my cousin I had to pysically show her how to use her feet to make up moves, kick, and score using the soccer ball. She is a visual learner so seeing and attempting were her strengths. This helped in my efforts to teach her beacuse it was more hands on, she used a bodily kinesthetic style of learning.

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?) After learning and practicing my cousin had the basic moves down. She knew enough that she could teach the basics to others and perform and repeat the skills to me as well.

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?) During the learning process I used alot of demonstartions and step by step directions to show and teach my cousin the basic skills.
