We continued to address writing tactics to refine Quinn's ability to write effectively. He chose one of three writing prompts that entailed him promoting a dessert and being as descriptive as possible. He had an idea for a vanilla shake that could constantly change with the addition of various ingredients, and we brainstormed various ideas for catchy names for the dessert. We considered synonyms for 'change', and Quinn chose to include the word versatile in the dessert's title. Quinn had definitive ideas of how he wished to express himself. After he wrote a paragraph, we reviewed it together to insure that proper conventions of language were met. We reviewed tenses, spelling, and various word choices. Quinn was encouraged to think of different adjectives to describe his dessert and to come up with a good closing sentence to leave a positive impact on readers. He was receptive to considering ideas but was also sure about what he wanted to include and how he wished to express himself. After he completed the writing prompt, he asked if we could read the Louis Sachar book. We had time to read one chapter (37) after Quinn recalled where we left off the last time we met about two weeks ago. Quinn was cooperative and productive during our session. I was happy to learn he looks forward to our sessions.
