Lesson Topic
Force of friction
Lesson Outline
I asked Matthew to inform me of where he was in the textbook. He showed me that he had reached chapter 4, Newton's Laws of Motion. I selected a simple problem for him to solve so that I could see his progress in solving physics problems. I asked him to show me how he would solve the problem. After looking at his attempt at a solution, I showed him how to draw a correct force diagram and how to write the correct equations. I then showed him how to find the solution. I assigned for him to read p.80 - 99 to prepare for the next class. I made sure to tell him that he needed to read for deep understanding.

Lesson Comments
When I saw the diagram Matthew drew and when I heard his answers to questions I asked him, I was very worried about his basic understanding of physics. I feel that he is either not taking the subject seriously enough or he is not mentally mature enough for this subject. Matthew needs to be made aware that his effort is not presently at the passing level.
