I had my second tutoring session with my child tutee.
After some discussion, we decided to focus on the science field for PJ, who is a bilingual student and has some difficulty with terminology. I created a lesson plan that explored food webs and what a carnivore, omnivore, and herbivore is. As expected, though he understood the concepts very well, he had difficulty remembering the terminology. For example, he knew the different groups of animals (mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects) and knew that they all had different types of skin that indicated what groups they belonged to (fur, feathers, scales and rough, smooth and moist, and bugs respectively). However, he had difficulty remembering the names or difficulty connecting them together.
We will continue to focus on the Science field with PJ, and hope that he will improve over the 6 more sessions that I have with him.
