April 13
Andy has been learning about space in his science class at school, and since it seems to interest him very much, I thought it would be a good idea to incorporate it into the session. We read a basic book about space, learned some new related vocabulary, and then focused on writing some sentences using the vocabulary that included words like explore, comet, and orbit. I found a short video about space exploration that helped to add some good visual context to what we were talking about and increased Andy's motivation for doing more activities in the session. After this, we played some online space-themed grammar games to start differentiating the concepts of past progressive and past simple tenses and I finished the session by facilitating a conversation utilizing both structures and helping Andy to do so as well. I have found that while Andy hasn't truly acquired productive use of past progressive, he mostly demonstrates that it is in his receptive knowledge.
