As Bobby does not have access to a "Word" program on his computer, I shared my "Word "screen with him as well as a series of short answer questions on Chapters 17 and 18 of "Catcher in the Rye". We reviewed portions of the text , and thereafter Bobby dictated answers to questions about character, plot ,symbolism. After I placed his responses on the screen ,we discussed ways to rewrite his responses in order to make them more concise . I directed Bobby to the wording of the question to locate word choices for his answers if he felt it necessary. Last, we focused on any grammatical issues such as commas. Bobby came up with some good active verbs and strong descriptive adjectives in today's session which significantly elevated his writing style.
