Matthew provided additional information on the English and History curricula at Benjamin so that we could determine what organizational assistance he might need and to enable us to formulate a schedule for him to begin certain ongoing assignments. I suggested he might benefit from taking some notes in his History class, and we discussed a reading schedule for his completing "Of Mice and Men" . We then addressed his English homework , the preparation of a slide powerpoint presentation on Welty's "A Worn Path". Matthew took biographical notes from the Web on Welty's life ,and we condensed and then incorporated them into the first slide. We then located appropriate photographs to support the presentation as required. The next slide required information on the story's setting which we reviewed followed by Matthew's generating another slide . I then provided assistance and suggestions to address grammatical errors . Last, we began discussing point of view. I explained that of the three most common points of view, omniscient, limited omniscient, and first person, the first person narrative was always the most unreliable as the narrator has very limited knowledge , and may tend to color the narrative in ways that reinforce the narrator's perspective. Turning to his History class, I directed Matthew to PBS.ORG, and showed him where to find some short introductory flim clips about Buddhism which I advised him to view to orient him to the story of Buddha and Buddhist philosophy. I will provide additional details and instruction tomorrow along with reference to portions of Karen Armstrong's book,"Buddha". This short text will be very helpful when Matthew writes his essay on Buddhism for History class .
