Ryan CIES4 (TP#5)

I met with Byron and we went over his midterm exams. While he did really well on his exam, he needed help with his article use. He seemed to do really well when choosing the articles in fill-in-the-blank sentence drills, but poorly when filling-in-the-blanks in a paragraph. The confusion comes when an object transitions from being "a" thing to "the" thing. (Mr. Jones has a cow. The cow he owns is sick.) So we went online and found lots of paragraph fill-in-the-blank article drills and worked our way through those. I just asked Byron to try to give the reason for each artcile use, and I think it was really effective. He doesn't "have it" yet, but that'll take time. It was a good tutoring session :)
