--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)? I tried to teach a friend from my door how to play a simple song on a guitar. This process required kinesthetic interpersonal and musical intelligences.

--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? The person that I had taught had large fingers, which made it easy for him to move around on the fret board of the guitar. This example would be kinesthetic. While having large fingers he couldn’t remember the notes; therefore he made up for it with his natural music intelligence. He knew the song, so he would play and if he messed up he would be able to tell me right off the bat. This in return would call for me to show him visually again which made it easier for him to pick up.

--What evidence did you have that the person had learned the lesson? In terms of multiple intelligences, what form(s) did that evidence take? My friend played the song perfectly just the way I taught it to her. When she finished playing, I realized that was all the evidence I needed to know that she had indeed learned to play a song. He learned the song through natural music intelligence and also through kinesthetic and spatial. Because he learned from watching me play the song, and also he used his hands to play the song.
