This was the first session for the student, who is getting tutoring in Algebra 2. He brought a review sheet which dealt with factoring/simplifying polynomials. He mentioned that there were some fundamental concepts which he felt that he didn't understand, so we went over some of them that helped directly answer these questions.
I did come across some questions which I felt needed some more information in order to finish solving.

She was very motivated to complete the assignment and quickly moved on to math. The math homework involved coloring in fractions, number lines, and addition/subtraction practice. She quickly finished this as well.
Student 2 had spelling, reading, and math homework. We reviewed for her spelling, reading, and vocabulary tests. She also completed her math homework that focused on estimation of sums. The next session is on Monday at 5pm.

The student and I reviewed the characters, setting, problem, plot, climax, and (predicted the) resolution of the book he's reading this summer. He typed an outline of these things for homework, and we modified this outline in order to use it to write a summary of the book. We discussed the details that I reader needs in order to understand someone else's writing, and we talked about how to make your writing interesting for readers. We are using the Six Traits rubric, and we will assess his 3-paragraph book summary at our next session. We also worked on writing our own definitions of words based on context clues and with the use of an online dictionary. Lastly, we practiced "improving sentences" by adding interesting details, adjects and adverbs, vocabulary words, transition words, and adverbial phrases.

I read and provided feedback on each of the student's five college application essays. We discussed their content and I had her complete a few writing exercises to expand on the strongest sections of each piece. I also went through and pointed out specific moments when her writing would slip into colloquialisms, generalizations, or non-pertinent details, asking her how she would revise each example individually. We finished by brainstorming a few detailed outlines to help her structure her new essays as she goes into the drafting process.
