I tried a different approach for teaching Astin yesterday. I prepared a speaking and writing lesson for him and Darth Vader helped me give it. I had him watch a short video clip of Star Wars and answer questions about the video after he watched it. The questions consisted of his general understanding of the video as well as more specific questions regarding what certain characters did in the video.
To practice pronunciation and articulation of longer words, I had him read the intro of the Star Wars video. I read it first and had him repeat after me. After watching the video and answering questions, he practiced writing. I picked the phrase "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." and had him write it on a dry erase board. I created spaces for the amount of letters each word was supposed to have and had him fill it out.
During this lesson I corrected him when he said that Luke Skywalker's son "growed up" and let him know that he actually 'grew up'. We also went over what Darth Vader meant when he said that Luke will "share the fate of" the emperor that was killed. I taught him that that meant that the same thing that happened to the emperor will happen to Luke (Darth Vader will kill him). All in all, it was a very successful tutoring session and he stayed focused the entire time.
