Today Josh and I continued to work on writing skills. He will have to write a five paragraph essay next Tuesday, so we created an outline. I reminded Josh of the components of a five paragraph essay: an Introduction ending in a thesis statement, three body paragraphs, and a Conclusion restating the thesis. He worked hard to focus his details. After this we had 15 minutes to read a story out of the Aliens & UFOs book. Josh selected the story “An Encounter in New Guinea”. I will be meeting with Josh on Mondays from now on.
