Lesson Comments
Batt School might want to think of hiring a part-time college counselor. Vlad's vocabulary level is probably at 9th grade or below. He needs a lot of work with vocabulary --which we will be putting into his curriculum, besides all the scheduled essay writing I have written into his curriculu. Both vocabulary and writing need to be brought up to 12th grade, college prep level by the end of this his senior year at Batt.

Katya took a quick PERT practice reading test and did quite well. I introduced Katya to her Vocabulary book. I explained the set-up.

We read the original poem the author wrote for the 20th anniversary of the novel. We also read the introductory remarks. We began taking turns reading the book. We stopped to discuss and answer some discussion questions based on what we had read.
