We read and analyzed a reading entitled "The Coral Reef." The student identified the thesis and topic sentences. He restated main ideas in his own words. He identified the author's message. We predicted the meaning of words based on context. He then reviewed vocabulary from vocabulary Lesson 2 by writing five original sentences.

Tutoring review by Delaney in Decatur, GA
We worked on choosing a sentence for his Slaughterhouse Five project. We narrowed it down to 3 sentences that all have the same central theme. For his project, he is making a minute long video that shows the deeper meaning of war, etc., in the sentence. The next time we meet, we will study for the final.

Tutoring review by Ramya in Decatur, GA
The student and I worked on making her geometry formula sheet that she can use on her exam. We went through all of the topics from Chapter 7-10 and practiced questions of each type.  I made a list of book pages/problems that she can reference to when she is studying.  We already covered parts of Chapter 11 in our previous sessions, but she is supposed to continue covering Chapters 11 and 12 on her own. She will e-mail me about any questions that come up during her studying.
