Amberly TS #10

 Zhou and I met at Greenwise on July 23 for two hours from 3:30-5:30pm. 

For the first hour I continued to read The Monkey's Paw. I read the second part and repeated what I did in the last lesson since Zhou learned a lot of vocabulary in this activity. I reviewed the first part of the story to refresh his memory. I followed up the reading of the second part with comprehension questions again. He did not understand certain words that required more of a cultural understanding. Since the story was written a long time ago, the language was somewhat antiquated, but many of the words that he was confused about are still used today. When I read out the word "sergeant" to him, he could understand it, but when I showed him the written form of the word he became confused. There were many words like that which he only knew exclusively in written or spoken form. We reviewed part two and skimmed it for additional clarification.
