I met
Manal on Wednesday, November 27, 2012 at her home. First, we reviewed her homework, and then, we
accomplished a grammar and writing lesson.
The grammar activity concerned prepositions and the writing lesson was
about telling relationships by using a family tree. For the lesson on prepositions, we drew a box
and a ball based on the relationship indicated by the proposition. Afterwards, we drew the snacks on the coffee
and wrote sentences about their relationships as well. I figured that the pictorial element will
help Manal learn these words. I made
sure to provide an example so that Manal had an idea as to how the sentence is
structured. The family tree lesson was a
lesson I thought of after I noticed that Manal didn’t have the basic words in
her vocabulary to explain her family relationships. We drew and labeled the
tree, and subsequently, made more cloze and fill-in-the blank sentences. I think this lesson was successful because
Manal enjoyed it, and it was perfect situated around her personal level.
