Kane TS#7

May 20th I met with P.J. for the 7th tutoring session. I wanted to do some more reading with P.J. today so I found a level appropriate comic book. The comic book we read is titled “I am Rosa Parks”, its a short comic (20 pgs.) about Rosa Parks and her fight for equality. I started the session with a brief little YouTube video and talk with P.J. about who Rosa Parks was and what she did. Also we talked about segregation and Martin Luther King Jr. P.J. had learned about all these in school and had a pretty good understanding of who Rosa Parks was and what she did. We started reading the book, the pictures within the book definitely helped to keep P.J. reading. There were a couple times P.J. had trouble with the vocabulary that slowed us down but we powered through it and were able to finish the book. At the end of the session I asked P.J. some questions about Rosa Parks and what the book was about. He was able to answer all the questions and provide examples of what Rosa Parks accomplished. I believe the comic book helped to keep P.J.’s interest while reading about a topic he may not have been interested in.
