Moving to a different part of the Leon County library had a tremendous effect on David’s level of focus and productivity. Without his brother there to joke with and distract him, David listened and followed directions. His only issue was with writing down the answers. His mother had given me an English workbook that he and his brother had been working on. The problem is that although Matthew has completed the majority of his workbook, David has found ways to get out of working on his own. For this reason, we have a lot of material to cover. Nevertheless, David always seems to do well in the grammar activities. For this session we focused primarily on direct and indirect objects. Before beginning each activity we began by understanding what indirect and direct objects were and how they functioned within a sentence. Then we looked at examples of each, and David explained aloud which word was an indirect or direct object and why. From there we did activities in which we plugged in our own objects based on what was needed and later constructed our own sentences. Near the end of the lesson we began looking at the past tense and past participles of irregular verbs. He seemed to struggle with a good majority of them so we will be taking a break from the workbook itself to learn and practice in the next lesson before returning to the book for further evaluation.
