Max and I talked about the three ways to think about the guitar. We looked at several popular songs and talked about how to play it using each approach. Max was quick to read the chord charts and play the correct notes.
Assignment
Memorize major chords/ find a song to learn for class
I gave Max a photo and he created a short story about what was happening in the photo. He concentrated on using sensory details and vivid images to allow the reader to understand explicity the character, setting, and story. He completed two pages of his grammar and punctuation book.
Max and I discussed in greater detail the qualities of a business proposition. I provided several examples of the business propositions from popular international companies.
We dissected their value propositions. Max then attempted to write his own value proposition.
Max and I discussed his business hopes and plans. I had him write down the “Why” behind what he wants to accomplish with his business.
We then viewed 2 sample business plans from the SBA website. I briefly introduced the concept of a Value Propostion to Max

Lesson Comments
It was great meeting with Max today. While we do discuss Max’s business aspirations to keep the lessons relevant to him, I continue to remind Max that I am going to teach him business principals and not provide business advice.

Lesson Comments
Max is already very involved in the art world, knowing pop culture icons such as Banksy and Andy Warhol. He already is into a style of art well known in Japan. I thought we could use his already formed interest to help him plan out a larger detailed composition and also help him work on line work, shading and color theory knowledge so that he can keep creating great art.
Max was introduced to skills in Martial Arts. We practiced jumping rope and skipping to practice coordination. We completed sit-ups and leg raises to strengthen the core. We also completed planks, push-ups, and basic punches for upper body strength.
I introduced Max to a Wacom Cintiq drawing screen. I had him open Photoshop and I imported an image that he would trace. Max used the stylus to recreate the image and we created layers to color the image.
