Rory and I finished reading the book. We began working on his summative project for the book. Rory will create a PowerPoint presentation involving all of the characters and the author's purpose for placing these characters in the protagonist's path. We just started working on an outline for it and will continue with it tomorrow.

I could see Rory today, and it was a little better.
Rory and I caught up on current events surrounding the COVID pandemic and how it's affecting the economy. We discussed the effects it's having on economic "success" measures like unemployment and GDP as well as the phased approach to open the economy back up.
We watched part of a SharkTank episode, too.

He's always lying in his bed and barely showed his face, but at least he answered the call...
I read more of the book. Rory followed along. He didn't want to complete the comprehension activities, so he said that he will do a final project on the book to be used as an assessment.
We discussed the option for a final project/paper on the book using writing and technology.
Rory and I continued our study of the novel. We read and discussed. I stopped after every chapter for us to discuss author's purpose and summarize the plot. We previewed the comprehension questions which we will begin to answer tomorrow.

Lesson Comments
I still can't see Rory during the session. He won't read. I read to him. I can't see him, so I don't know if he's following. He does have his book, and he holds it up in the air to show me. I stop and ask questions--sometimes he knows them; sometimes he doesn't. I gave him full credit: however, at 10:45, he said that he was sorry but he had to end early. And we were finished.
Rory did have his book today. We began re-reading the beginning since we both forgot some important details. We previewed the comprehension activities. We will start those on Monday. Rory and I discussed the plot of the book. He also provided a brief summary of the pages that we had read today.
