CIES building
This week I tutored PJ at the CIES building. His dad brought
him after our class on Thursday. His mom gave me an article called “Robots in
Space” that his teacher wanted him to look over again and correct his answers
on the comprehension questions. Ms. Kim suggested that maybe he had difficulty
understanding the article because of his lack of background knowledge on the
subject. I decided to do a schema building activity and talk about space,
robots, and spaceships before rereading the article.
First we watched the
School House Rock video “Interplanet Janet” then we googled images of astronauts
and space. When we finally read the article he seemed to understand it a little
better and easily answered the questions. The vocabulary was difficult, but he
with a little explanation he learned the words quickly.
