After meeting Sam and offering him a snack, we got to work on a book report due tomorrow. The format for the report was a letter to the author, detailing three favorite parts (and why) and three questions (related to the book). Sam had read The Wayward School Gets Stranger by Louis Sachar. First, we brainstormed his favorite parts and questions for the author. Then, following the teacher's rubric, I helped Sam to organize his thoughts into a three-paragraph letter. We edited his work, adding appropriate spacing, capitalization, and punctuation. Sam decided to print the letter at home.
