On May 13th I met with P.J. for our fifth tutoring session. P.J.’s mother gave me a reading comprehension test that he had taken and we were to go over the questions he missed. When I showed up P.J. had homework that was due the next day that he was struggling with, so we decided to work on that first. For his homework assignment P.J. first had to answer vocabulary questions. Some of the vocabulary words were tougher than others, such as anguish, but with a couple more sample sentences to look at P.J. was understanding. The second part of the homework assignment P.J. had to write a short story about the phrase  ‘never give up’. P.J. had remembered the story about the tortoise and the hare and decided to write about that. At this point it was getting late(7:30ish) and P.J. was not wanting to write a story. With a little encouragement P.J. was able to finish the story and his homework. At this point we had about 10 minutes left so I decided to jump into the comprehension test. With a little more encouragement and some bribery(I would look at his pokemon deck) we covered the questions he missed and made sure he knew why he missed them.
