English SAT prep

We discussed Andrew's English assignment together.
We then went outside as we were celebrating the 100th day of school.

Andrew chose an article online to read and discuss. The purpose of this lesson is to increase comprehension as well as the ability to summarize what was read.

Andrew is teaching me once a week. This helps to improve his communications skills, while building confidence and agency.

Today he taught me about the proper shading techniques for a colored pencil drawing.

Reading

We read an article today to assess reading comprehension and fluency. We also discussed prereading strategies that could be done as one approaches informational text.

Andrew began crafting his name narrative today, using images, details, and word choice to make the story come alive for the reader.

Andrew and I looked at student examples of personal narratives as mentor texts. He identified what the students did well in their writing. We delved deeper into what makes a good narrative. He continued to brainstorm ideas for his writing.
