Evidence – observation – one student approached me and requested to move his desk to enable him to see better in response to identifying his preference as a visual learner. This knowledge also helped me to tailor my lessons to meet the needs of the students.  I have learned that most students are either visual or kinesthetic learners therefore I have been mindful of this when planning my lessons, for example making sure that all instructions are written on the active board so that students can see them and also come up and review them when unsure	19/02
