Margot TS #3

    Today Alice and I decided on a schedule of covering grammar on Mondays, reading on Wednesdays, and writing/listening on Fridays. Alice loves to spend the first 5-10 minutes of our sessions introducing her stuffed animals and telling me about her day. Her intonation and flow are very natural. 

    For our lesson, we covered the concept of the beginning, middle, and end for stories. We used her comic that she drew from Wednesday and broke it into beginning, middle, and end.  During this, we also covered important transition words like: first, then, second, and finally. Alice has a tendency to ramble on about her stories, so it takes quite a bit of redirection to focus her on the task, but she has incredible intrinsic motivation to improve. 

    Alice also likes to take short breaks where she teaches me math. Her math books are in Korean, so it also serves as an opportunity to introduce vocabulary that she will hear in school classrooms.
