In order to deliver instruction about the Jim Crow laws in a more creative and engaging way, I selected and read Ben an article about how Satchel Paige, a black baseball pitcher, laid the groundwork for Major League baseball to include black players like Jackie Robinson. Ben had knowledge that the Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States, but said he enjoyed the article and found it interesting. Ben interjected insightful comments as I read, but preferred that I read it even though I gave him a copy as well and suggested that we pinch-hit reading alternate paragraphs, if you will. A bout of hiccups distracted him after completing the article and Ben did not want to answer comprehension questions saying "I already took a test today," even though I told him it was not a test. He did demonstrate good listening skills and understood both the explicit and implicit main points of the text.
