Lesson Topic
Subject Agreeement, Informational Writing, and Revision strategies
Lesson Outline
To start, I reviewed some irregular subject-verb agreement rules with Jake. Next, we read out of "Our Town," stopping to discuss important themes, vocabulary, and characters. Next, we focused on a section of Act 1 where the editor of the newspaper is interviewed by a panel of random people. Next, I asked Jake to imitate these interview questions but to apply them to his town of North Palm Beach. He did so thereby constructing an informational piece of writing. Next I reviewed some proofreading marks with him, and asked him to revise his own writing. Lastly, Jake made a Venn diagram comparing his town to "Our Town," in preparation for a compare and contrast writing prompt for next session.

Lesson Comments
Jake is very eager to do well, but sometimes rushes through the work and; therefore, doesn't do his best work. Overall he is doing well. I hope to help expand his writing iniitiative from perfunctory to interested and inspired. Therefore, I am constantly trying to make connections from the text to things his is interested in. He seems to really like history and very astutely noticed that, when the narrator referenced the Treaty of Versailles, which I reminded him ended WWI, he questioned it because the story took place in 1901. I was happily surprised and I will continue to try to make historical connections for him.
