TP Session #5: 1/25/2015

I met with Badah on Saturday, and worked with him on his homework. We reviewed the writing lesson we had done last week, and moved on to grammar. He was working on a work sheet where he changed sentences into “used to” sentences. I did my best to guide without doing the work for him. We figured out that we have to change the form to “use to” when the sentence is a question or a negative.

We then talked about reading, since he was having trouble finding things for his reading log. He asked me for specific places where he could find reading material online. I talked about finding things online that he was interested in and using that for his logs. For example, he told me he was interested in sports, so I suggested googling Lionel Messi, and reading his Wikipedia page or a current news article about him. I told him how I routinely Google things to read that I’m interested in, and how I used to read Wikipedia articles in Spanish for practice. We talked about other sports-related subjects he could possibly tackle. He had never learned about Rugby before, so after talking about it for a little while, he decided to start reading about it and including it in this reading log. He seemed much more enthusiastic about his reading after that.
