We began with a discussion about musical instruments of the world and Mercer expressed interest and curiosity about the Australian wind instrument, the didgeridoo. We looked at a video on how the instrument is made from the bark of eucalyptus trees that is hollowed out by termites. We then shifted gears somewhat and read about the composer Beethoven. Mercer answered questions about its content and answered 7 out of 8 multiple choice questions correctly. Although his answers to open-ended questions were correct, they were succinct – and prompts helped encourage him to add more in-depth analysis and detail to his answers which reflected good depth of knowledge. In the last quarter hour, Mercer was asked to add detail to his interpretation of the Batt school logo. After pointing out the flame atop the books in the logo, Mercer reflected on its meaning and added more content to his paragraph. When I encouraged Mercer to share his work with others, he initially balked and said it would be embarrassing; however, I think he gave it more consideration after I commended him for his interesting interpretation and effort.
