TS #11

For this tutoring session with PJ, Ms. Kim of course provided me with reading materials and worksheets to go over with him. For this session, we read together a book about police officers. First, I showed PJ a video about what a police officer keeps on his belt. I remember PJ mentioning that he knew all of this already-- haha-- and so we moved on to another video about police officers' daily lives. We then began reading the story, which discussed all of the things police officers encounter every day, their duties, their critical responsibilities, their closeness with death at times, etc. At times when PJ is really engaged in something, he begins to talk nonstop! I love it when he does that, for I feel that he is really alert and engaged with the material. I usually have to stop him at some point, but I bring up some of the things he talks about in relation to the story and the comprehension questions. This usually seems to keep him interested in the reading material!
