Jonathan and I reviewed a map of the United States. We identified regions and he worked on a learning activity tasking him with finding the missing states omitted on a map. He worked diligently and did not want help - but did ask for a hint or two, which was afforded him via cardinal directions. He did well given these cues. Next, he had to look at the shape of states, identify them on a map, and draw a line from an outline of the state to its name. He was permitted to refer back to a map template for reference and did well on this activity. Jonathan was permitted to collaborate with a peer on the exercise but took the lead enthusiastically and purposefully. He is looking forward to being challenged the next time in a similar activity, given less cues. He will be asked to identify the states without referring to a map.
