 * Braiding Hair**

For this assignment, I taught my friend, Christine, to braid hair. She always wanted to learn but never could, so I sat down, and showed her exactly how to do it. It took her multiple times to be able to cross over the three strands of hair into the braid form, but after about the fifth try, she got the twist down, and was on to braiding a ponytail in no time. I believe that braiding hair appeals to interpersonal intelligences because you are interacting with other people, and communicating as you are braiding their hair. You are being social and spending time with other people, and helping them out with something that they may not be able to do themselves.

The strengths that my friend had while braiding hair, was she was able to hold the three pieces firmly, and could cross over the strands, but she just got confused as to what order they should be in at first. Once she realized which strand went on top, which strand went next, and so on and so forth, she learned very quickly. It is like riding a bike. Once you learn it, your never forget how to do it.

I knew that Christine has learned to braid hair correctly, because the ponytail that she had practiced on, was braided correctly and was very even. As she continues to braid hair, the braids will only get better and better. She is happy that I taught her how to finally braid.
