Ryan Kid2 (TP#6)

On Monday night, Kid Jason and I met at the library. There's definitely a marked difference between meeting at 630pm, like we did tonight, and at 11am, which we did the first time. Jason's ability to concentrate on what we were doing was severely impaired (and I'm not holding it against him, I'm sure school was a drain and a late meeting time was a pain). Nonetheless, we hammered through a story that I wrote for him about my day so that he could fix my grammatical errors. I tried to set it up so that he could use my writing as a model. We could brainstorm together about what he did that day and then let him write about his day as a writing tutoring assignment. Well, he got tired about halfway through brainstorming and irreversibly distracted by bugs on the counter, so we switched from that task. it was just too extracurricular for jason to devote his energies to. Instead, we worked on an intensive reading assignment about inventions that have helped people with impaired vision experience the world around them more effectively. It was an FCAT prep assignment from school. It took us about 45 minutes to read and answer questions, but it was actually very helpful for jason to have me there showing him the type of information he should be taking notes on as he reads so that he can more effectively answer the questions later on. So booyah.
