I was attempting to teach my younger family member to play tennis.

-To what learning styles does the lesson you were trying to teach seem to appeal? This lesson would appeal to multiple intelligences including the Body kinesthetics intelligence, the interpersonal intelligence, and the intrapersonal intelligence. I would appeal to the boy kinesthetics because the game of tennis requires people to use their body. It appeals to the interpersonal intelligence because when playing tennis with a partner, you need to be able to communicate with them and tell them what needs to be done in order to win. And finally it appeals to the intrapersonal intelligence because you need to be able to know your strengths and weaknesses in order to become better at the game.

-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 I was trying to teach scored high in the Body Kinestetics intelligence and the intrapersonal intelligence, but lacked in the interpersonal. It helped me that she was strong in the body intelligences beacuse she was physically able to do everything that the game required, but she lacked in the most important intelligence required for the game. Its crucial to be able to communicate with your partner when playing the game.

-What evidence did you have that the person learned the lesson? In terms of Multiple intelligences, what form(s) did that evidence take? The evidence that proves she learned the lesson is that she tried out for her schools team and made it. In terms of multiple intelligences, the evidence is in body kinesthetics, interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence. She had enough of each of these intelligences to succeed in the sport and play on her schools team.
