Lesson Comments
Kellan enjoys using the computer to create comic books. He remains defiant at times and is often rude. When asked about it, he always tells me he is just joking! My sense is that he has had a rough time at home somewhere along the line. That said, he likes working with me and we get along great. I continue incorporate things he is interested in to help motivate him to learn more computer skills.
