Lesson Comments
Sam sent me a chat at 9:45 a.m. informing me that he had to help his father and would be back at 10:00 a.m. Session began at 10:04. Sam was given questions on Chapter 4 of Make Your Bed, which he was to read last night. We discussed the first-person narrative point of view, utilizing context clues to define unfamiliar words, and then I assigned Sam the task of reading the chapter again so that he can apply the new knowledge of the narrator's setting to better understand what he reads. We also discussed him taking the IXL diagnostic and was very willing. He has not taken it yet and I will share results with Ms. Jackie as well. This will pinpoint the skills he needs the most practice with.
I. Autobiography and Memoir defined
II. Extrapolating the "lessons learned" from reading
III.Pre-reading: Setting the Purpose
