homework 1

I taught my little sister how to do a backhandspring on the trampolean. The learning styles I used were interpersonal, kinesthetic, and linguistic.
 * 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)?

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)? The disciplines I used to teach my little sister were Kinesiology and physics.

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?) In terms of multiple intelligences my sister struggled understanding when I described how to do a backhandspring in words but when i demonstrated how to do one visually she understood how to do it.

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?) The evidence I have that she learned how to do a backhandspring was that she physically did a backhandspring first with me spotting her and then on her own.

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?)? The forms of communications that I used were, first I told her a step by step process on how to a bakshandsrping. If I did not do this and she rushed into it she could of got hurt. Then I demonstrated how to do one so she could see it visually. ||

Apply P.A.G.E. to your teaching attempts: What was your purpose? How did that affect the way you communicated? My purpose was to teach my sister how to do a backhandspring. It made me have to communicate slowly so she understood every step how to do it. Who was your audience? How did that affect the way you communicated? My audience was just my little sister. It affected how i communicated with her in a good way because I just focused on her the whole time and had all my attention on her. What genres of communication did you use? Why? I used linguistic and kinesthetic because i used bodily functions and lauguage to tell and show how to do a backhandsrping. What was your Engagement in choosing the topic of your lesson? In working with this person? The engagement was that I wanted to bond with me sister and I had a great time working with her.
