Teaching my friend how to make a bracelet out of string could appeal to the spatial style. By braiding the string she must arrange colors to form a certain design. It is an expressive form of a creating an item of jewelry! It could also be bodily kinesthetic, because she must use her fingers to construct a new bracelet!
 * Interdisciplinary Teaching**
 * **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)?**

To learn how to make a bracelet you must be feeling artistic. You could consider making bracelets art appreciation! Also, the movement of your fingers can get quite tiring. This attribute could be considered kinesiology.
 * 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)?**

My friend had a difficult time mastering the concept when I explained what to do in words. It was easier for her to visually see my hand motions. She began to get frustrated when a knot formed in one of the strings, but after untangling it for her, she completed her bracelet with much success!
 * 3. In terms of multiple intelligences, what 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 friend successfully completed the task of learning how to braid. If needed, she could repeat her newly learned skill. Although it takes her a while to complete a bracelet, she can do it! A teacher would definitely agree that she learned a new skill! She is extraordinarily happy because now she can braid her own hair!
 * 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?)**

To teach my friend how to braid, I first tried to explain to her in words how to do it; that failed. I then demonstrated how to do it. She picked up the concept rather quickly, so I had her try. After practicing she mastered the practice of braiding a bracelet! ||
 * 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?)?**
