During the first segment of our session, Lena completed exercises on subject-verb agreement and subject- indefinite pronoun agreement . After we completed studying chapter 13,I placed two open-ended comprehension questions on the board and Lena ,on her own, read through the novel and located supportive answers which she placed into her notebook. She then took a multiple choice chapter 13 comprehension quiz . She did very well with both assessments. Last, we studied the metaphor in the chapter 14 prologue and speculated as to whom would become a new mother figure for Lily. Lena very astutely offered the phrase "adoptive mother" to describe the subject of our discussion.
