Introductions, Free Write, and Reading Exercise
Lesson Outline
During our first 30 minute session Bobby filled out an introductory "survey" answering questions about personal interests and his experiences/preferences at school, and we discussed our answers. He also did a free-write journal entry, choosing from a set of cards with different topics. Bobby wrote about what qualities make a good friend.
In the next hour we did a reading exercise in which Bobby chose a topic from the New York Times "Room for Debate," and read two perspectives on the issue. He chose the topic of whether technology corporations have a responsibility to enforce safety features to prevent distracted driving. He found several vocabulary terms in the articles to add to his new vocabulary list. During the last few minutes of class we also played a vocabulary game.

Lesson Comments
The session went well, and I found out that Bobby prefers fiction to non-fiction, and he still needs to finish the novel (Rot and Ruin) that he began with a previous instructor.
