Dickinson, Texas, is a city within Galveston County, and is a part of the larger Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land metropolitan area. The city is named after John Dickinson, since the area is located on a tract of land granted to him in 1824. Dickinson grew in 1905 when an Italian ambassador convinced around 150 Italians to move from the east coast to Texas, and the population grew even more due to its proximity to Texas City and the Johnson Space Center.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
Today, the student I worked on a ELA assignment on Roman Plebeians. I gave him tips on how to identify and find the critical ideas of a passage, by reviewing the questions at the end of the text first. We also reviewed an upcoming paper where he will need to make an "argument" to prove a perspective.

Our focus is now on preparing for the student's upcoming final exams - a written portion and a multiple choice portion. The written portion is on Tuesday next week. He had two worksheets that reviewed Ch 6 (solving inequalities, graphing inequalities, and graphing systems of inequalities) and Ch 7 (exponents rules and scientific notation). We talked through each problem to review the material together. Overall, he seemed that have a good grasp of inequalities. We talked through in more detail how to determine whether to shade above or below the graph. After finishing with the review worksheets, I had him do some practice problems that I had prepared in advance. The student did well on the inequality questions, the exponents questions, and finally the transformations questions (Ch 8). We will continue at our next session with reviewing transformations, functions (Ch 9), and quadratics (Ch 10).
