Teaching+others

-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)? Teaching my room mate how to play a few guitar chords required kinesthetic and musical intelligence. On my part, it also involved using my interpersonal intelligence.

--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? My roomate attempted to form the chords I was showing her, but had some trouble coordinating her hand and fingers in order to successfully strum them. She also lacked some required ability to strum in a free flowing, non-mechanical pattern. However, I believe that some musical intelligence is embedded in her, since she could hear on her own that it did not sound like it should. I used my interpersonal intelligence to hinder these efforts. I explained in a point of view that was outside my own how to do it the right way. Instead of takling in a way I would to a person who should already know how to play guitar, I talked how a person should when they are teaching a brand new experience to someone else.

--What evidence did you have that the person had learned the lesson? In terms of multiple intelligences, what form(s) did that evidence take? I do believe that my roomate does have a bit of musical intelligence. She remembered a few chords later after I showed them to her. This counts for musical intelligence.
