Jackson TS #14

 On Thursday, August 12 at 2:30pm, I met once again with Charles. Today, we did the Afghanistan reading lesson plan that I created for the reading lesson this summer. I had him read almost the whole article out loud to practice, skipping a few parts because it is quite long and I wanted to hit the important parts. I first gave him the powerpoint presentation, highlighting the important background context and the difficult vocabulary in the article. We talked about each of the discussion questions in the article as he read through, checking to ensure that he was understanding what he was reading and that there was nothing about which he needed clarification. After that, I had him write a summary as well, practicing writing skills he had not used in quite a while. It was an enjoyable lesson for both of us, as he really liked practicing his speaking, reading, and writing.
