For this lesson PJ was learning about Cause and Effect. He didn't seem like he really wanted to be tutored that day so to keep him concentrated I decided to make it a little interactive. To demonstrate Cause and Effect I grabbed my pen and threw it across the room, at first he was surprised. I then asked him "What caused the pen to hit the wall?" He answered cause you threw it and I said exactly, that's cause and effect.
PJ instantly caught on with what was cause and effect. We read a story and after reading the story there were some questions that asked what caused this, what was the effect of this. PJ only needed help a few times to answer these questions. Whenever he did have a problem I would demonstrate another cause and effect or if possible act out the cause and effect of the story.
PJ performed very well that day. I think that actively teaching and interacting with the tutee really helps them learn.
