We read and discussed the readings and prompts for his essay and came up with the general direction of the essay. We focused on the main points needing to be covered in the essay: what military/political crises each man was facing; what background influenced the way each man thought (his perspective); how each man saw the nation and state as a means to correct the crisis.

Final review of English concepts - commas, phrases and general strategy with question types. Began Reading preparation by outlining a strategy - reading the passage for general understanding and saving more time for the questions. Completed first passage together - asking the students what they thought about each question and how to use the passage to look up the answer. Completed two more passages for time. Assigned one passage for HW. Graded Student 1's pre-test: 26/28/29/21//26. We will continue to work on this.

The student has the potential to greatly improve her score. I believe she understands most of the concepts and techniques required for the SATs. She is making simple errors, and she may have testing anxiety, which I have personally been through. I believe an effective method is to simulate the classroom environment during practice sessions. I would like her to finish a whole practice test in several days instead of one to see if my observations are correct. Overall, she seems to be a diligent student who really wants to improve, and she will by practicing.

We talked about strategies she could use to improve her quiz scores for History and English. Then we went through a section of her Algebra II coursework that she was having trouble understanding. I explained some concepts to her and then we did some problems together.
