Discuss History grade
Work on Genocide paper

We started off talking about Zach's grade in history. He didn't have his notes or materials with him, but it's understandable why he's not doing as well in this class as others. They only have access to the textbook in class, and the only thing he has to study are the notes the teacher gives them, sometimes directly and sometimes not. The bottom line is that he's not getting enough information in class for the material to really sink in. From now on he's going to bring in his notes and we'll do additional research and discussion to make sure he's got it down. As for his paper on genocide, we went over and fine tuned his outline. It's a basic paper, but he was writing it more like a persuasive essay. We then worked on his introduction and thesis statement. He's going to email me when he's done with the first draft, and I will go over it and get it back to him over the weekend.
