Lesson Outline
Today the non-fiction selections were based on nutrition. Kayla read an article regarding a program for fit kids, and changed the level of writing from middle- to high-school level by replacing weak word choices with vivid vocabulary. She then read "Food Experiment" and summarized the text. Next she created Blooms Leveled questions for "Food Experiment" then we discussed levels of questioning and how they are present within all texts and standardized tests. Next, Kayla moved into Word Study and completed an SAT pretest on vocabtest.com, scored 50% (not bad for a pre-test) then created Quizlet flash cards online and began studying. Last, I introduced independent and dependent clauses and a fun and easy way to learn to fluently write complex sentences. Kayla practiced with five phrase combinations.

Lesson Comments
Talked with Johanna about moving from Eng11 to Writing/Research and decided I will still do an overview of American Lit with Kayla for background/vocab knowledge at some point prior to the fall, to help prepare her. Also, when we are aware of what section of English she will be entering when she returns to JC, we can work through the summer reading assignment.
