Amberly TS #9

Due to many scheduling conflicts with Zhou, we began to meet for two hours to complete two sessions. On July 19 we met for two hours from 3-5pm at Lucky Goat Coffee.

During the second hour I continued to work on The Monkey's Paw with Zhou. On specific paragraphs I did a dictocomp activity with him. I would re-read short paragraphs and ask him to take notes and piece it back together. The lesson was meant to improve his vocabulary, practice his listening, and introduce him to English literature. Since the language is very different from academic science language, the story was somewhat difficult for him. The story is often used in American schools to teach writing and reading skills as well as expand reading comprehension from literal understandings. I asked him questions associated with the story; it consisted of comprehension questions and subjective thematic questions.
