tutor 5

On May 20^th, I once again met with my tutee Matthew to go over writing and vocabulary. I started the session by going over Matthew’s vocabulary cards that he always keeps in his bag. Although he was not very enthusiastic about going over the vocabulary words, he correctly defined all the vocabulary flash cards with the exception of disdain and flurry. I was going to go over the language arts worksheet that is in his bag, but Matthew insisted that we do a new activity besides the ones we have done in past lessons. Recalling that today was Friday, I asked Matthew what he was doing this weekend and if it was anything fun. With a sigh, Matthew said he was doing nothing and that it likely would not be fun. I then asked Matthew to write about his idea of the coolest day ever; Matthew then wrote a whole page about how his fun day would include watching movies like Star Wars, eating meals like burritos with meat and rice only, and playing video games such as Call of Duty or Halo with his friends. Besides one spelling error (vegitables instead of the correct vegetables), Matthews grammar was correct and good for his level.
