Lesson Comments
I presented potential areas of study for Stephen for today and next week. I mentioned watching "All the President's Men" related to Watergate and drawing parallels to what happened in the run up to the Presidential election and the "speculation" of collusion and a possible cover-up involving the White House. I also mentioned a continuation of the topics from Brainpop. Last, I have a DVD series, "America, The Story of Us. Stephen was most intrigued by some of the episodes in the DVD series. He chose an episode and we read a summary that highlights what is covered. We also read discussion questions that we will go over together post-viewing. I stressed that I want Stephen to actively watch and listen for information that apply to each question that will allow him to develop/embellish in his responses.
