Today we played several different improv games with some other students. We played the questions game, Mr Whiskers, and ended on a game called the twenty count. Dutch said he enjoyed most of the games and wanted to play them again next session.
Today we discussed several current events. I talked to Andrew about strength and weakness and how they can compliment each other. We talked about college schedules as I shared that I took my difficult classes during the summer which allowed me to take more electives during the school year.
Today Sebastian and I worked on building a game on a twitch platform. We ended working with typing games and began using all ten fingers rather then typing with one finger on each hand.
We worked on spelling out different Pokémon and writing them on a whiteboard. We then played a match and worked out the basic math to see how much damage and health would be left over.
Today we worked on planning out traps where two pieces are being threatened at once. Hank quickly picked up the approach and was able to apply it in a live match
Today we played three chess matches. We looked at the benefits of castling and the cons tied to it. We played a match without our strongest pieces to work on improving the secondary pieces in achieving checkmate.
Today we worked with the chessboard. I showed Ben my strategies and pointed out his stronger plays. We played two games and had a stalemate on the last match.
I told Hank that I was much more aware of his plays as I began to counter them in the beginning of our match. I advised him to think of our last matches and what strategies I used against him. This worked out great and prolonged the match as we became more evenly matched by predicting the opponent's plays.
Today we worked on our chess skills. We turned the board around to see the opponent's approach and viewpoint. After several moves I revealed my strategies and gave out tips on how to counter my offensive. We ended playing a blitz match online where each player only has three minutes.
