Topic/Skill: Idioms/Listening

Feedback provided: Today Dave and I worked on food and weather related idioms. Without giving him any context, I displayed a couple of idioms from the passage we were about to read and asked him what he thought the idiom meant. Once he finished going down the list, I wrote sentences with each of the idioms and Dave either saw he was correct or change his answers using context clues. Then, I read aloud the passage and stopped when we saw a food or weather related idiom as Dave used context clues again to figure out it's meaning. In the end I put fill in the blank questions and he had an easier time identifying which idiom went in each blank space. 

Lesson learned: What I learned from last session is if I wanted Dave to apply what he learned in context, he needed to be exposed to the term or phrases multiple times and in different ways. The schema building activity done in the beginning really helped him when it came to answering questions at the end.
