Lesson Comments
Joshua understands the big picture of texts much easier than the details. He does quite well explaining how the author organizes his/her ideas and can identify the method of development when looking at the list of options. He is not as successful in identifying the method when a list of options is not in front of him. Joshua answered 21/23 questions correctly today. New words we discussed from the text include: expiation, exigency, and perplexed.
