PJ Chang Home
Topic/Skill:
-Reading Comprehension
-Vocabulary
Today I tutored PJ Chang for our fifth tutoring session. The lesson material that his mother had given me was unique in the sense that it was not a book to read with him or a reading comprehension essay. This time she gave me some of his math homework, a few work sheets that he had gotten the wrong answer on. Although math and science seem to be PJ's strongest school subjects, he seems to have a hard time understanding math word problems sometimes. In my preparation for his lesson, I made sure to do the math problems myself and think of the simplest way I could explain the mathematical expressions being used. When we worksheet together, I illustrated the mathematical expression by using the included diagrams or drawing illustrations. PJ liked the drawing technique because after we completed the first half, he completed the second half almost all on his own by drawing out the math problems.
PJ and I also completed a poster project about Beethoven using bibliographical children's book about his life. PJ completed most of it on his own. On questions that he did not understand, I used used excerpts and illustrations from the book. We concluded our tutoring session with a brief game of hang man. It seemed that PJ had played game before with other tutors. I feel that vocabulary building games like hang man are a good motivational tool that I will continue to seek out in the future.
