Session Summaries by Social Studies Tutors
Today, the student and I worked through problems relating to balancing forces and free body diagrams. We took it pretty slowly.

We went over the student's math homework. He had a question of the week and a loaded word problem. We're working on helping him to not rush through his work because that makes him commit mistakes. We also did some reading, and he is able to read and comprehend very well. He has a love for reading, which is very good. We read about 4 books, with him reading the vast majority of all the words. This is a night and day comparison to where he was not long ago.

We continue to work on testing strategies: today we did about a third of a model test for math and two passages from a reading test. We reviewed using process of elimination, reading with a purpose and making predictions. The student was very engaged, and used prior knowledge well (especially the Canoe passage!).

The student began Tuesday's lesson by completing his math homework. After, he read "Boxes, Books, and More" and answered the accompanying comprehension questions. I then had him write and repeat the words that he was having difficulty with during the reading. These words were: across, pink, white, quilt, empty, room, and change. He finished off the lesson by writing a complete sentence describing his bedroom.

The student completed an entire SAT essay prompt in the allotted time. He will send me a copy of his response for scoring and comments. We also completed several practice Writing and Language problems. Later this week, I will be sending him a complete sample SAT test. I would like him to complete the test (at least the Reading and Writing sections) in one sitting, under test conditions. We will review his answers to this test during next week's session.

Today, the student and I reviewed an entire practice science section. He needs to practice data interpretation and close reading for science passages. I will email him the practice test that we were working on today. For homework, he must complete the rest of the practice test. He also shared his math study plan with me, and I applaud him for his industriousness.
