Today Alexa completed a self-assessment similar to one I did at the career center during my undergraduate time. It helped her think out and identify her own tendencies and character traits, and it provided me with insight on her learning style. It was wonderful material for critical thinking discussion. Following this, we read/discussed the beginning of Agatha Christie's play -- homework is to complete reading scene one. Finally, we were able to complete most of the first lesson of a series on vocabulary that includes every required element for 10th grade, including Greek and Latin roots, affixes, and etymology. This method, heard on audio, features a dynamic professor from the University of North Carolina. His strategy is fun and creates long-term memory and deep understanding of difficult/academic words. We will complete that lesson on Thursday, and Alexa will complete the reading science one as well.
