Liam and I collaboratively read Chapter 6 in his book, 'Sadako and the Thousand Cranes.' We circled and defined words with which he was unfamiliar (e.g., throbbing. flustered), and I offered examples of how they might be used in examples/sentences to which he might better connect and relate. Liam was queried on the ways Sadako and the newly introduced character in chapter 6 (Kenji) are alike and different. We made a Venn diagram to highlight the commonalities and differences. Liam contributed examples which pertained to the exercise. Several key concepts were repeated and explained in different ways to facilitate recall and help Liam more effectively synthesize and integrate the information acquired in today's lesson.
