Lesson Topic
Organization of thoughts.
Lesson Outline
Kaitlin explained her experience at the horse competition in Tampa. I asked her for detail in explaining the event for an audience who did not know anything about reining. Kaitlin showed me 2 videos of her equine performance, which was quite impressive. It seems that reining requires a horse and rider to effectively work together to complete patterns and Kaitlin explained how she performs a series of patterns that is judged. The patterns include small slow circles, large fast circles, switching hands, and sliding. As she narrated, I wrote down her words and then together we checked for accuracy. Kaitlin amended a few sentences to communicate her thoughts more clearly. Kaitlin expressed that she does not much care for Language Arts but I suggested she give it a try and that I would make every effort to integrate her preferences, such as art into the Language Arts discipline. I wrote down everything Kaitlin told me about her competition and occasionally suggested minor changes to improve clarity. I informed her I would type it and give her a copy to review tomorrow to insure it did not compromise the integrity of her content.

Lesson Comments
Kaitlin was unhappy and repeated all she had said the other day. She 'despises' English - does not not need it, and repeatedly asked why she has it on her schedule -and for 2 hours in a row? I wondered if it would make a difference if we could move it around on her schedule so that she doesn't have me and Barbara (LA) back-to-back - but that didn't seem to please her either. I don't know if you wish to talk to her further about it. She believes there is not need at all for her to have English and would instead prefer art or math - subjects she enjoys more. She told me she addressed it with you, and I told her I would mention it again but encouraged her to try it and again discussed its merits and value. (Trust me, I was a performance artist today).
