tutor 12

On June 14^th I met my tutee Matthew at Leroy Collins public library to go over his writing and grammar. During our very first tutor session, I foolishly bet Matthew a deck of uno cards that he could not define all of his vocabulary cards. Needless to say, he got every word right and ever since then I always am asked if I brought his coveted prize every time we begin a tutor session. Today I finally was able to buy a deck of uno cards and gave them to Matthew. After playing three games of uno, I asked Matthew to write about his favorite game and why he liked it so much. In twelve lines, Matthew told me about a board game called the game of life and its various rules and objectives. Besides one error (“You get to go different places…” instead of “You get to go to different places…) Matthew’s sentences were written correctly and grammar free.
