I afforded Ben guided supports to encourage him to reflect and compare the Nigerian Igbo and American societies. I began this process by asking that he reflect on the structure of the Igbo society, as it is patriarchal, which prompted Ben to compare and contrast it with American society. I also queried him on some of the other ways to compare the societies - such as by their economy, daily life, their value-system, their belief in polytheism, etc. Although Ben worked slowly and requested even more information that was provided in the intentionally broad parameters of the assignment, he worked deliberately. I encouraged him to continue to reflect on the questions and to share his thoughts in response to the questions and to then communicate it via speech-to-text. I was pleased with today's progress in our morning class and afforded Ben reinforcement in the form of verbal praise, to consolidate gains, compliance, and strengthen motivation.
